Hinrich is not a rotation player anymore but for a 3rd string role he is fine. Someone you can call on in emergency situations and he might give you something. Unlikely to complain about this role too which is key. That's about all you can ask for with 3rd string players. Sure he is only worth the vet minimum these days but having him for 1 more year at $2.8M is not the end of the world. That can't possibly be a hard contract to move if we were really that desperate. Plus coaches still love him even though he isn't worth the court time.
