Lindsey Hunter To Mavs? More Likely To Bulls

   The Mavs continue to tell me that they don’t need backup point-guard help. I keep arguing that they’re wrong, pointing to how inefficient Dallas is when Jason Kidd isn’t on the floor. There are now reports (guesses?) that have Dallas engaging in conversation with former Pistons guard Lindsey Hunter, who is a free agent. But if you are a betting man, take my advice and assume that Hunter won’t be playing for Dallas on Thursday – but that instead he’ll be playing against them.

   That’s right. I’m told the Bulls – presently playing without the injured Heinrich Hinrich and Hughes and desperately thin at guard as they prepare to host the Mavs tomorrow – are confident they will sign Hunter today.

PS: My bad on the misspelling of Hinrich. I was almost certainly thinking of the German philogist Kurt Heinrich Sethe. 

PSS: On Thursday morning, the Bulls announce that they have indeed signed Hunter. No, Dear Reader. I do not need your apologies. Cash. I need cash.
