    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Al Harrington, Atlanta Hawks
    Possible suitors: Bulls, Knicks, Pacers
    Leader in clubhouse: Bulls
    This versatile wingman with the ability score in the post, shoot from outside and defend will be in hot demand. At age 26, with his best years seemingly ahead of him, he should command a deal starting at around $10 million per year. The Hawks, with a crowd in the perimeter, almost certainly will look to fill their holes at point guard and/or center by using Harrington in a sign-and-trade. The Bulls, who desperately need a big guy who can score a little in the post, could be willing partners. Or how about Harrington, a New Jersey native who once played for Isiah Thomas with the Pacers, going to New York in a sign-and-trade for former Georgia Tech star Stephon Marbury?</div>

    Interesting, but no way we could sign Wallace and Harrington could we?
    Do we even need Harrington now?

    Then again the rest of the article has the Bulls interested in almost everyone.

    If we get Wallace, I'm not really interested in getting Harrington, especially since he wants 10 mil a year.

    When I first saw this thread for some reason I thought it was Othella Harrington.

    Anyway, ten million a year for Harrington is a bit much. Especially on our team with all the young talent we have at the small forward position. He could play power forward, but that 20 million dollars a year locked up between him and Wallace. No way we can do that and keep our young guys. Unless Paxson wants to be in cap hell for years to come.

    Even if we don't get Wallace 10 mil is still too much for Harrington.

    Drew Gooden is a better option than Harrington.

    I dont know why some bulls fans want Harrington so bad, I dont see what he'd bring more than Nocioni and Deng do at the 3, and now Tyrus at the 4. Al Harrington doesnt know what defense is and is a 6'9" player that plays facing the basket, i'd much rather have Big Ben as a bull than Harrington especially for that price. Harrington is a 7-7.5 Million a year player at most, but these days everyones overpayed.
