    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Timberwolves are trying to acquire forward Al Harrington from the Indiana Pacers in a trade for point guard Terrell Brandon. A deal could occur within two weeks.

    The Pacers are seeking salary cap relief. But they don't want to part with the 6-foot-9, 250-pound Harrington or 6-7, 245-pound forward Ron Artest. The two teams continue to work on a deal, but Indiana, instead of Harrington and Artest, is offering 6-9, 242-pound forward Austin Croshere and some lesser talent

    For anything less than Harrington, it would be a waste, we need one more quality player to make a very dangerous side, Artest or Rose would fit perfectly, and Harrington would not be awful.

    According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, a trade between the Timberwolves and Pacers and involving point guard Terrell Brandon could be completed within two weeks. Minnesota is trying to acquire forward Al Harrington or guard/forward Ron Artest in the deal. However, Indiana does not want to part with either player and is offering Austin Croshere and some other "lesser" players. The Wolves may need to offer more than just Brandon to get Harrington or Artest. The Pacers would receive cap relief in February by getting Brandon.

    Just think if the Twolves sign Juwan Howard, they will then have the Howard Cassell combo. Howard Cossell was a famous boxing commentator and made a career covering Casius Clay aka Muhammed Ali.

    Interesting, but I dont think Austin Chrosher would be worth it. Harrington sounds good enough.
