check out this new article on harrington.
By SEKOU SMITH
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 08/01/06
Al Harrington plans to fire his longtime agent, according to several people familiar with the situation, meaning the month-long wait for a resolution to the Hawks-Harrington trade saga could last quite a bit longer.
Harrington took steps to sever ties with his New York-based agent Andy Miller on Tuesday, meaning the negotiating process regarding the sign-and-trade deal he's seeking, with assistance from the Hawks, is far from complete.
With Harrington seeking new representation, league rules stipulate that there must be 15 days between the time Harrington files the paperwork to fire Miller and retains new representation, meaning the process could stretch well into this month before it is resolved.
Miller did not return several phone calls.
People familiar with the situation said Harrington will hire Arn Tellem as his new agent.
Harrington is prepared to restart the entire process, the people familiar with the situation said. That means new teams could get involved, wiping out a proposed deal that would have sent Harrington back to Indiana in exchange for cash, a draft pick and John Edwards.
There were more than a half dozen teams that inquired about sign-and-trade possibilities involving Harrington before the list was narrowed to Indiana and Golden State last month. That list included the Los Angeles Lakers, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Chicago Bulls, the Detroit Pistons and the Milwaukee Bucks.
With the news that the trade process will begin anew, the list of teams showing interest in Harrington could increase. |

| If it increases the chances of us landing him. I think it's a great thing. We have alot of extra bodies that would be perfect for a big trade for someone of his caliber. I think it's great news!!! |

not to mention stockpiling talented players like kwame, rad, odom, al harrington, and bynum might increase the chances of trading for disgruntled superstar someday like.....kg or lbj, maybe?  |

| I haven't cared about how many stars I have since the third grade. And what labels are put on me, well, I either respond to them, or I don't. Why would y'all care?? |

| I like the ratings system. Momo it isn't a supremacy thing, it just allows us to give respect to those who devote themselves to this website and the Lakers. Of course, some of us have otherthings to do than winning stars. LOL. |

Well, I wasn't all that serious myself. 
But, the news about Harrington firing his rep could really be important. Who the heck knows? It's kind of a soap opera in Atlanta these days  |

What some of us posted last year about Wade seems to have at least a little substance. We wondered about his ability to play like he does and remain healthy. Here's an excerpt from an article from reviewjournal.com.
"He's in another class in many ways," Colangelo said. "But he's a special kid for a lot of reasons. No. 1, he's here. He played a lot of basketball and he's really banged up. If he wanted to beg out, you would understand.
"No. 2, he's got a bad wrist. But he doesn't take any drills off. He wants to be part of this. He's got great character." |
