Al Harrington is officially a Hawk !!!!

All Harrington official Hawk

Well we all knew it was gonna happen, but you never know. Now we officially know Harrington is a Hawk.

Let me say something, Knight is d@mn good, because he just got Harrington for free, because we all knew Jax was on his way out of Atlanta. Props to you BK.

He said "the East is back", followed by "I'll guard anybody but him" Gee, i wonder to whom he might have been referring....maybe the same guy when asked "Do you feel like you werre punched in the face by the Lakers?" To which he replied "If I was, I didn't feel it".

He didn't get him for free. He gave up a bunch of cap space for him.

[Nicholasp27]

like we coulda gotten a better player for that little cap space

[Teeareess]

Which we were going to use to sign who???

I think it was a great move. We still have loads of capspace, what we need is players, especially front line guys with talent and potential.

[JTFan31]

Well eventually any player in Harrington's magnitude would of taken cap space. I mean free in the sense that Harrington still had a 2 year contract with the Pacers and Jax was as good as gone signing with a team this offseason, so to get Harrington in this trade is like basically Knight made a heck of a deal to get Harrington, would of been Babcock, Jax would of signed with someone else and get nothing in return.

Could of been:

JT

Childress

Diaw

CC

Collier

Instead is now:

JT

Childress

Diaw

Harrington

Collier

I am not complaining. I like him on the Hawk roster. I am just pointing out that we did not get him for free.

"like we coulda gotten a better player for that little cap space"

- ur assuming that the player is willing to take ATLANTAs "little money" over another team's (denver/utah/san antonio/etc) "small money"

[Packfill]

Well it is nice to know that the Hawks are finally putting a full roster together. Harrington is a bargin compared to what some of the other free agents are getting this year.
