Al Harrington traded

Realgm is reporting that he has been traded back to the pacers. How boring. I kind of wanted him to go to the Knicks, but after looking at his rebounding and shot blocking numbers, I'd rather take my chances with David Lee and Renaldo Balkmen for much less salary. They also don't require the ball to be effective, something Harrington can't do. But this is a good pickup for Indiana after loosing Peja for nothing, Harrington can put up 20 and 8 for them along side Jermaine O'Neal, but its kind of like Steve Nash, why do teams let a player go only to reaquire them years later? Makes little sense other than to say that "they're under new management."

So that's it for NY this offseason, huh? Perhaps we'll sign that center from the summer league team, I forget his name. He's white, a 6'10" jump shooter with limited , yet functional game. I thought we'd acquire Jared Jeffries but the pansies at the Washington Wizards insist they'll match any offers from other teams, so, oh well.
