With the signing of Jermaine Oneal, and the resigning of Austin Croshere, where will Al Harrington get his minutes? In my opinion, this kid will be a STAR, and the Rockets ought to pursue him. He can swing between the 3 and 4, and is big and fast. ------------------
Like you said, he'll be a backup at the 3 and 4 spots. He should play much the same role as Austin Croshere did last year for the Pacers. The Pacers have a very talented young nuclues in Rose, Croshere, O'Neal, Bender, and Harrington. They'll bring Harrington and Bender along slowly, as they are not ready to be NBA starters yet. Very little chance of Indiana dealing him. ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi?

Maybe if we offered Bryce Drew AND Wiz, they would give us Big Al ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
doubt it bob finn, the pacers have already made so many trades this offseason im sure they'll want to see how their current roster will fare.I like harrington though, he has the talent to be a star. He reminds me of antawn jamison. ------------------
How ironic. ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
Al Harrington reminds me of a taller Anthony Mason. He may never be as tough as Mase, but Al can handle the ball and finish like a little man. I would give up Rogers, Drew, and a 1st Rounder for Harrington and scrubs. ------------------
Harrington is no Jamison clone. He can shoot from the outside and has better handles than Antawn. ------------------
Who would you rather have, Rashard Lewis and Al Harrington or Bryce Drew and Mirsad Turkcan? Guess we know which two the Rockets picked out of that bunch. ------------------ Check out the Best Source for Draft Info Draftsource.net

I think he will be much better than Wiz. Boy, am I going out on a limb predicting that ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know. [This message has been edited by BobFinn* (edited September 19, 2000).]
Dear God, please let the Drew plus Wiz for budding superstar crap please stop. If he's a potential star, Drew and Wiz ain't gonna cut it. Sheesh. ------------------
Nolen, I was just joking. I guess cause I forgot to put a smilie, some people thought I was serious. There is NO WAY IN HELL the Pacers would trade Harrington for Drew & Wiz. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
HUGE TRADE IS COMING- ROCKETS GET- AL HARRINGTON PACERS GET- BRYCE DREW WALT WILLIAMS 2ND ROUND PICK THE RIGHTS TO KENNARD WINCHESTER YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! ------------------

How often does this guy play? How long has he been in the league? Potential blinds people I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE CAN DO Not what he did in high school/college what can he do NOW!! Rocket River I haven't seen anything on this guy I hear how good he *suppose* to be but i don't see anything else ------------------
Rocket River - Ummmm... just watch some non-Rockets games from time to time. Not that anyone in our organization is even talking about this in any sense, simply because Al's not on the block in any way, but as far as a player, he's pretty impressive. I've seen him play several times. ------------------ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS..." - Mark Twain -
Darkhouse What are his stats? 17 minutes per game? 6.6. pts per game? 3.2 REboudns per game? .8 asst per game? 9 blcks all year? What am i missing? How is he better than say . .. . uhm . . .MO! Until he shows it on the court . . . he a role playa Rocket River OK . . I'm his fan now. . the kid is 8 yrs younger than me . . .to the day so he cannot be all bad ------------------
Bob Rainey - this time you didn't even bother with RealGM. Shame on you. There are only 2 Rockets who make less than Al Harrington - Langhi & Moochie. Bryce alone makes a lot more than Harrington. Bryce and a pick will NOT cut it capwise or realistically. KT is about the only Rocket that fits capwise and I just don't think either team would be excited about this one. Especially 2 weeks before camp. ------------------ GATER
