In his first partial season, he started 19/28 gamesIn fairness, he was an obscure backup when they traded him away, so it's not impossible that they might want him back now.
Plus, wasn't that like 3 GMs ago?
His next season he started 73/82
The next season: 0/35
The following partial season: 1/53 before the trade.
Do you see a pattern? He BECAME a backup after owning the starting job.
TPark, you know most of the time, I'm patient with your , but pull your head out of your ing ass. If we got rid of Rasho by some miracle, do you think ANY subsequent mgt. team would entertain getting him back? ATL is NOT going to want Mohammed. Period. He sucks. They know it.
Your still missing on that there is different management.
They NEED a big, and Mohammed is prob the best they are gonna get.
My apologies.
Still, they have a new regime and a very different team. And IIRC, when they traded him they had a then-healthy Theo Ratliff starting for them, didn't they?
Well after your done with your childish hate against the guy let us know.If we got rid of Rasho by some miracle, do you think ANY subsequent mgt. team would entertain getting him back? ATL is NOT going to want Mohammed. Period. He sucks. They know it.
Till then, your blinded by it.

errr but, err, uh, he uh HE SUCKS
OUT!!
?? Former NBA All Star Magliore is available via trade from MIL. Admittedly, the bad taste of Mohammed may have soured them on UK alumni, but I'll admit that may be a stretch.
Puhlease.
Harrington wont wnat what hes making.
Mohammed will command the same contract Harrington will.
EASY S&T.
COME ON.
Uh, OK. Call me at the beginning of next season and we'll compare notes on their respective contracts. My guess is that Mohammed gets somewhere between half and all of the MCE. Harrington will probably get MCE*1.5, or 7.5M to start with.
Magliore made $8.5 this year, so you're making my point by saying "Harrington won't want that". Harrington will get WAY more than Mohammed.
They will both get 7
if you think a center like Mohammed will get only 2.5 to 5 your nuts.
Harrington should make a lot more, but you never know with centers. Two words: Jerome James.
Two more words: Isaiah Thomas.
What teams would they be?

not as stupid as most of you. nazr for harrington?
why because i just hit you with a dose of reality? nazr for harrington would never EVER happen you delusional piece of trash.
If Harrington ever wants to get a ring, he has to do it now with the spurs or other contending teams. He will soon pass his prime. There money will be there after the ring.
How is being 26 years old on the verge of being past your prime? Harrington at 26 has at least two contracts left before he calls it a career. Anyway, if he was smart, his next contract would see him toiling at PF/SF for an elite team like the Spurs. He has an ego though and likes being the big fish in a small pond. I wonder how he'd take to being the #3 or #4 scoring option in SA after having grown accustomed to being the 1st or 2nd in ATL and IND.
I don't get the love affiar with this guy. Sure he's pretty decent but I just don't like how his game would mix with the Spurs. He's not a very good defender. He's not that good a rebounder. He can't pass, block shots or shoot very well. Yeah, he's a good scorer but the Spurs have the scorers. The offense was fine in the playoffs.
Plus, I don't want to give $50M to a guy who has torn his ACL. That's just asking for trouble.
Harrington isn't a good shooter? He put up a .452 shooting percentage and a .346 3-point percentage this past season so that kind of contradicts that thought. Plus, his career rebound numbers might not look that great, but that can be explained by the fact he started a ton of games at SF over his career. And don't you think his offensive production would go up with teams ignoring him to focus on doubling Duncan and to a lesser extent Parker and Ginobili subsequently leaving him more space on the floor to do his thing? He was THE man in ATL and teams therefore constantly doubled/ran help D at him. In SA, he'd face isolation D all the time and with his ball-handling skills, an ability to create his own shot, and a quick release on his shot, I think he'd put up some impressive numbers.
No. Harrington wouldn't get nearly the number of touches that he gets in Atlanta. His efficiency might go up, but he wouldn't be a 19 ppg scorer here.
He'll never be a stopper, but he would be a much defender here than he was in Atlanta -- look at Finley.
His rebounding isn't all that great, but better than Rasho's, and miles ahead of the small ball lineup we fielded against Dallas.
Going by his 82games stats, his passing is a little below Brent's, but better than Finley's or Horry's, which is pretty sound for someone who will get a lot of minutes at PF.
The thing that would make him a game changer for the Spurs is that he has a legit game both inside and outside. He can score inside if we need him to, but he also has legit a 3-point shot as well as a midrange jump shot. That means that Tim will see a lot fewer double teams than he sees with Nazr or Rasho on the floor -- a problem that someone like Evans won't address.
The other thing that makes him an improvement over a lot of players we could get is that he's good enough that he's legit at the 3 or the 4, and he can defend either one. I like Jumaine Jones, but he's not really a 4, and Reggie Evans isn't a 3. Harrington can give us good minutes regardless of whether we play a center next to Duncan or not.
I don't get the love affair with Evans.
He is a decent defender at PF but he is too slow to defend SF. I want him as starting PF with Spurs.
With Duncan at center and Parker/Manu/Bruce at PG/SG/SF, he will average at least 10 rbds/48 min.
It's difficult to play team basketball with Hawks (cough...Diaw..cough).
He isn't a shotblocker but that's not big factor for me.
He shoots 35% from 3pt for the first season where he takes a lot of 3 pointers.
I disagree with that. I don't think that Parker/Manu/Duncan and 2 players who score less than 10 ppg is a good thing.
How many times have you see Spurs using a matchup mismatch to win a game ? Maybe one time (Nazr against Phoenix) ?
The truth is that it's easy to defend against Spurs because :
- As much as I like Bruce, 99% of the PG/SG/SF/PF can defend on him.
- 90% of the PF/C can defend the bigman who plays with Tim.
Even a team with 2 defensive liability can do a good job against Spurs.
Adding a good offensive PF will improve the defense because the opposite team will play less his defensive minded players.
It's time to put the other team in matchup trouble.
The offense agaisnt dallas was quite good but our big three won't be able to score 73ppg in every serie.
I can understand that. Maybe it's time to jump on the Scola bandwagon.
bump
The Mavs have every intention of re-signing Terry, while the Lakers have discussed bringing in Cassell. The Pacers want to re-sign Stojakovic, while the Hawks are hoping to pull off a sign-and-trade to move Harrington.
Several teams, including Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto, the Clippers, Charlotte and New Orleans/Oklahoma City, will have money to spend as they will be under the projected $51million salary cap for next season. Although teams can reach verbal agreements with players starting tonight after midnight, the actual signings can't happen until July 12.
