Al Harrington

The Warriors have made it pretty clear that al harrington is on the trading block, I know he's not the huge midseason pickup some poeple might want from raefs contract, he is a guy who could give us stability at the small forward spot, we would probably have to give up outlaw, but i think harrington, with experince although not too much in the playoffs, and a good shooting touch, would be pretty good in our team. This of course is assuming that he's ok being the 4th option to a bunch of guys who can't even drink yet.

well

if your saying that he is that better than what we have now, why he would be the 4 option? When Roy, LMA, and Outlaw plays, Outlaw is the 3 option and sometimes even the 2 option. Now if Outlaw plays in the 2 unit he is the 1 or the 2 option. So if Al is so better Outlaw why he would be 4 option?

RE

this would be assuming oden is back and healthy, and on offense our third option, then harrington would be our third best option, and maybe martell has to come off the bench

I like Al Harrington, but not for this team.
It might work out all right, but just dont think he right for our team.
He did have a great season for Atlanta several years ago.

Al Harrington is a better version of Travis Outlaw.

That’s not exactly a compliment, either. Basically, Harrington is a high-scoring combo forward who brings little else to the table — which includes medicore defense and no notable intangibles — thus, he’s not a worthwhile option.

Harrington

Is another “me-too” player in the mold of Shawn Marion and Zach Randolph. They believe that they ought to be the star of the team, and when they don’t get enough touches or minutes, they will pout and mope and ask for a trade. He’s done it everywhere he’s been.

Not suited for our culture.

Yup
He thinks he’s a superstar. I think he’s a very good player. If he wants to be traded, we’ll try to accommodate him," Nelson told ESPN.com following the Golden State Warriors’ 105-97 victory Saturday night over the New Jersey Nets.

Oddly, another stint with the Indiana Pacers would probably do wonders for Al Harrington.

Due to Jim O’Brien’s love of the 4-high/1-low motion offense, Harrington is a decent fit within the Pacers’ offense. A swap of Harrington and Marcus Williams for Jamaal Tinsley and Travis Diener — who’s a Dan Dickau clone — would probably benefit both teams. Despite Tinsley’s dwindling value, he’s a much better option at point guard than DeMarcus Nelson and C.J. Watson; also, the departure of Harrington opens up gobs of playing time for Brandan Wright and, to a lesser extent, rookie Anthony Randolph.

Reportedly Harrington is balking at going back to Indiana a third time

Don’t know were he will end up. The Knicks seem to have inquired. And he would be a sure starter on PF in Memphis. If I was the GM for the Grizzlies, I might offer Crittenton/Lowry and Walker or Crittenton, Warrick and Buckner for him (all trades would work).

What the **** is wrong with Al Harrington?

Anyhow, Harrington for Antoine Walker and Javaris Crittenton is definitely a fair deal.

maybe he is scared of one of those fans that he punched

Heck, I don’t know what I’m talking about. Maybe one of the patrons at the nightclub.

We cannot put up with this flagrant lack of accountability anymore.
