Harrington Traded to Indiana

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting phunDamentalz:</div><div class="quote_post">i don't know - Boston Orlando and Charlotte could all be better than them. If so that would make them the 12th best team in the east - no playoffs...</div>


perhaps Toronto could also be better than them this year?

 

Maybe the Hawks will be better than them too. A lot of teams in the East have improved though. Boston and Philly, you never know what to expect, possibly playoffs, and possibly not. Then there's Orlando, Toronto, Charlotte (if healthy), and even Atlanta. The team(s) that was already fairly good that improved, Chicago.

 

Looks like the deal might be in jeopardy:

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Atlanta Hawks forward Al Harrington, rumored for weeks to be headed back to Indiana as a part of a sign-and-trade deal with the Pacers, plans to fire his agent, according to a newspaper report.

According to league rules, there must be a 15-day window between the time a player officially fires his agent and the time he can hire new representation. Harrington is expected to hire Arn Tellem as his new agent, the Journal-Constitution reported, citing persons familiar with the situation.

By switching agents, Harrington may have opened the door for other teams to re-enter trade talks with Atlanta. There were initially between five and ten organizations interested in a potential sign-and-trade deal with the Hawks before Indiana emerged as the front-runner.

to test the market.

Harrington could get less money than he was once expecting though.

“Normally, I don’t think Al Harrington is a guy who should be getting more than the mid-level,” said the anonymous general manager. “How do you explain what a guy like Nene ($60 million over five years from Denver) is getting? There’s no rhyme or reason to it. Some guys luck out, and some guys don’t.”</div>
