Harrington: 'I've Been Wanting Trade Since Last Season'
Oct 29, 2008 4:17 PM EST
Warriors' forward Al Harrington confirmed on Tuesday night that he would like to be traded and admitted that his desire to leave Golden State began last season.

"If you ask me if I want to be traded, I've been wanting to be traded since the end of last season," Harrington said. "With everything that happened in the summer and coming into training camp, I was hoping things were going to work out between me and [coach] Nellie, but I don't think that's going to happen.

"It is what it is. That's being all the way honest. That's putting it out there. Do I think that Al might have to be traded? Do I think it's going to work with me and Nellie? I don't think so. That's how I feel."

Harrington also explained that he didn't want to be a distraction to the team, but news of Coach Don Nelson's contract extension has him doubting that the two can make it work.

You usually make intelligent posts, but this is just stupid.

Curry For Harrington?


Oct 30, 2008 1:00 PM EST
In a potential swap of players who do not figure in their current teams' plans, the Knicks and Warriors have reportedly had discussions about a trade involving Eddy Curry and Al Harrington.

The Warriors are more interested in a package including David Lee.

The better offers for Harrington are coming from Western Conference clubs, but the Warriors would prefer to ship Harrington to the Eastern Conference.

Anthony Randolph might already better than Al Harrington. Harrington has actually regressed the last couple seasons, in my opinion. He never really improved on his potential, still only an average defender, and now primarily shoots fast break three pointers. If they can get a quality guard for Harrington, the Warriors would be better for it.

Harrington also has a history of wanting to be traded when things aren't breaking his way. Remember, he begged Indianapolis to trade him to Atlanta in order to start.

that was a mess....i remember that dragging out for most of the offseason until finally being completed

he used to play better (especially more intensity on defense). he's talented, but the problem is, he's another player, who thinks he's even better. and this hurts his team, whatever team he's just playing for.

Yep. He peaked during his first tour of duty with the Pacers. He has lost about 80% of his defensive intensity since then.

And yet another bad trade for Indianapolis, even though Harrington needed to be shipped out at that point.

Does anyone know why Al didn't play tonight against the Kings?
