Jazz eyeing Al Harrington

I say get him in here. I think he's been in the league long enough that we're not going to have huge problem with him acting like a knuckle-head, plus he's always seemed like quite the competitor to me. All Sloan cares about is if you go out there and compete when you're on the court.

He's not a solid defender but at this point Utah would have to hope that he could play adequate team defense. Something that is interesting to me: With how tall he is and his ability to shoot from outside, I have to wonder if playing him at the 4 against the Lakers would force them to make some pretty big adjustments in how they defend the Jazz. Sure, we haven't gotten any bigger by getting Harrington, but the type of player he is may at least get Utah some match-up advantages they didn't have in the past. Or maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into Al Harrington.......

So are the Jazz pulling a Timberwolves and deciding to have 3-4players that play the same position??
 
What would be the point of having him on our team?

He doesn't improve us much if any in the short term. Nor does he help us in the long term.

Let Millsap and AK47 play, they're both better than Al. Let Hayward play and be developed.

to me, the thought of adding Al Harrington seems to me like a desperate attempt at just adding a vet player and delaying the inevitable... Much like adding Calbert Cheney, Olden Polynice, and John Starks.

Lets see what Millsap and hayward can do this year. Use this next year to rebuild and develop. We'll use what information we learn from this season to plan for next few offseasons.

+1 Playoffs in upcoming year and falling to Lakers will be achievment.

But we will have a tonn of money
 
I've been trying to figure out where the interest in Harrington might be. He is versatile which is a plus, but I think KOC might like him as a scorer on the second unit. As it stands, the second unit looks like it will have some alignment of Price/AK/Fes (Koufos)/and whatever two wings are out there. Having a guy who creates his own scoring opportunities would help. I'm not saying Harrington should be that guy, but I sort of get that angle.
