Al Harrington OR Wes Matthews? You'd have to use your Matthews money to get him probably

I think Al doesnt ask for huuuge money...

And you all thought Boozer was a bad defender...Harrington hasn't played defense since he was traded from the Pacers 4 years ago.

He's a decent player, but how does he work in Sloan system?

 

[David Stern]

Al Harrington could come for the TPE of Harpring i'm sure.

 

[GVC]

yuck.

 

[The Ghost of Blue Edwards]

I have a feeling this would be like Chris Morris all over again.

This acquisition is gaining more and more traction.

If we didn't get the Boozer TPE then I would've believed this to be necessary to recover Boozer's scoring somehow. Yet, I agree that Harrington doesn't play defense. Although, Millsap showed me last season that he can't play big minutes yet. He wore out by the end of the season. The same could be said about Okur. Keep in mind, that Harrington can play multiple positions and he's quick enough to play team defense. Maybe he wants to win now?

Anyway, we could use our full Mid for him, use a TPE to trade for another PF, use another TPE to trade for a solid C, then just match what anyone offers Matthews.

You have to use your MLE to sign or match Matthews. The Jazz don't have Bird or Early Bird rights because Matthews has only been in league one year.

Anyone have the link to Lockes article on Harrington's potential impact with the Jazz? He said he just posted it.
