Re: Harrington
※ 引述《kobeslaker (thewonder)》之銘言:
: Harrington's return to the Indiana Pacers via sign-and-trade with the Atlanta
: Hawks, according to various NBA front-office sources, is widely seen as a
: done deal.
: Perhaps the strongest indication that a formal announcement is forthcoming
: from Indianapolis is the fact that the Pacers' main competition for
: Harrington is no longer courting the versatile forward.
: The Golden State Warriors, sources said, have conceded defeat in the
: Harrington chase, fully expecting the 26-year-old to join the Pacers in a
: swap with Atlanta that would net Harrington a six-year contract worth a tad
: less than $57 million.
: It remains unclear who or what Atlanta would receive in the sign-and-trade
: arrangement, but the deal can be completed with the Hawks taking back recent
: or future draft picks -- or perhaps a moderately priced youngster, such as
: center David Harrison -- as opposed to significant salary. That's because of
: a $7.5 million trade exception Indiana created earlier this month by striking
: a sign-and-trade deal with the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets involving
: Peja Stojakovic … after Stojakovic already had committed to sign a
: five-year, $60-plus million free-agent contract with the Hornets.
: With a modest cash payment believed to be in the $250,000 range, Indiana
: persuaded the Hornets to participate in a sign-and-trade swap for Stojakovic
: instead of signing him outright. The Pacers signed Stojakovic to the terms he
: and the Hornets negotiated and shipped the sharpshooter (plus cash) to New
: Orleans/Oklahoma City for the rights to 1998 second-round draft pick Andy
: Betts, who likely will never play for Indiana.
: Without the $7.5 million trade exception resulting from that maneuver,
: Indiana wouldn't be able to complete a sign-and-trade for Harrington unless
: the Hawks were willing to take back contracts in the same monetary range as
: Harrington's new first-year salary.
: Harrington's apparent willingness to start that new contract in the $7.5
: million range, meanwhile, is expected to return him to the team that drafted
: the 6-9, 245-pounder in 1998 -- and has turned that trade exception into one
: of the most valuable assets of this NBA offseason.
: Harrington, sources said, initially told interested suitors he was expecting
: a six-year deal worth at least $66 million. For the Pacers to pay that much,
: Atlanta almost certainly would have to be willing to accept a package built
: around Indiana center Jeff Foster. But Foster, by all indications, is not
: part of the forthcoming trade.
: Indy's unforeseen trade exception gets Harrington fairly close to his
: financial target and the team he likes best. Better yet for the Pacers, their
: new Ron Artest replacement is regarded as a topflight athlete capable of
: playing small forward and power forward.
: When the free-agent period commenced July 1 and the Hornets secured a verbal
: commitment from Stojakovic within hours, it looked as though Indiana would
: lose its original Artest successor without compensation.
: The Pacers have been busy on other fronts, as well, according to sources, in
: hopes of reducing future salary obligations wherever possible as they prepare
: to absorb Harrington's big contract.
: They first rescinded a qualifying offer to shooting guard Fred Jones,
: suddenly making Jones an unrestricted free agent, and he quickly reached an
: agreement to sign with Toronto Raptors.
: Indiana also agreed this past weekend to trade point guard Anthony Johnson,
: who has two seasons left on his contract worth a little more than $5 million,
: for a package of three Dallas Mavericks that likely will be whittled to one.
: Veteran point guard Darrell Armstrong is the only Mav expected to stick with
: the Pacers after the deal goes through. Young forwards Josh Powell and Rawle
: Marshall are prime candidates to be waived.
: The Pacers also have shopped Foster (who earns $5.5 million next season) and
: guard Sarunas Jasikevicius ($4 million) this summer and might proceed with
: plans to move one or both to gain additional distance from the luxury-tax
: threshold.
: "Obviously, Indiana, I'm more comfortable there because I've been there, I've
: been in the East," Harrington told ESPN.com earlier this month at the Vegas
: Summer League, making it clear then that he expected to wind up with either
: the Pacers or the Warriors.
: "Going into free agency, obviously you think, 'I'm going to be at the bottom
: of the screen [on ESPN's Bottom Line ticker] like Ben Wallace and the rest of
: the guys.' But everyone's telling me to be patient, so that's what I'm trying
: to do."
: 看似會用 7.5M TE + Harrison 交易
: 因為消息指出 Foster 不在這個交易的名單中
: 此外 Harrington 說他適合的價碼為六年六千六百萬 ... 嗯 ......
: 溜馬也在兜售 Foster 以及 Jesikevicius
其實老早老早就猜到 小哈會很貴的,從上次他離隊時我就知道
但他真的值這個錢嗎?????他這兩年的成績是在老鷹打出來的
老鷹跟溜馬的陣容是不一樣,何況兩年的成績就換來千萬年薪.
還有長約,可以想見的是溜馬未來幾年光小歐和小哈這兩個亨哈
二將吃下來就差不多了,也不會有什麼能力再簽什麼大魚,然後大
哈換走,foster兜售 這樣是準備打小球嗎????關於醜臉和小汀的
問題,在這邊我提出我觀察過許久的看法..這兩個人技術確實都沒有
問題,兩個去到哪隊都絕對有先發級的實力,醜臉的問題沒什麼辦法
改善,他的問題比較在於職業的道德,是屬於不會太有團隊意識的球員
就是高興時賣命一下,不爽時打混..純粹職業道德問題,這是打球態度
沒辦法改的了,小汀的問題我覺的他應該是跟溜馬某些球員或甚至是
教練有不合,這樣的組合 未來會有很大機會嗎?
