According to Dan Barreiro of KFAN, the Bulls could potentially send Kirk Hinrich to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the #6 pick in the draft.

5/ COUNTRY CLUB TRADE? — Don’t really know why the Bulls, who now have a nice three-guard combo, would go for this, but the Mix hears that the Wolves could offer the No. 6 pick in a very weak draft for Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich. Think of it: A combo guard who can even defend (including forwards as big and strong and talented as Paul Pierce). One down side: He has already been in the league for five years. Trent Tucker’s idea might be even better: Offer Mike Miller for Hinrich.

This is a pretty good trade using Hinrich. The trade frees up backcourt minutes, while giving us the #6 pick in the draft. The pick could be used as a good asset in a trade for a star big man. There is also the potential that a guy like Hasheem Thabeet falls down to the Bulls at #6. Presumably, there would have to be some type of contract filler on the Timberwolves side involved.
