3 – Kirk Hinrich:

Hinrich coming to the Thunder would be a very different look for the 36-year-old veteran. After playing most of his career with the Bulls, Hinrich seems to be searching for a new home.

Although Hinrich was not a great scoring guard for the Bulls during his career, averaging 10.9 points per game, he definitely gave them a great reliable guard off the bench that was ready to start in any event Derrick Rose was injured.

Hinrich coming to OKC would not be a huge move since Payne is already the back-up point guard, but he could still provide some much needed guard depth to the Thunder bench and provide that veteran presence the Thunder desperately need.

Having said that, the Cavaliers brought in Hinrich for a workout and to this point have passed on him, so how much value could he add to the Oklahoma City Thunder if the Cavs aren’t interested in him
