Grizzlies Shopping Harrington According to the Vancouver Sun, with the Grizzlies poised to take a power forward - either Stromile Swift, Kenyon Martin and Marcus Fizer - it's no surprise they're shopping incumbent Othella Harrington. That's sure to make Harrington happy. He doesn't like Vancouver and wasn't thrilled when Knight suggested he might be better suited to coming off the bench. Sources say the Grizzlies are soliciting offers for the 6'8' 235-pounder, hoping to land another first-round pick. With five years left on his contract at a relatively low salary - $2.8 million next year - Harrington could be attractive on the trade market.

Man, Othella was such a good guy. I just wish he could play some D. ------------------ - hoopjunkie "when you come in da HOOD... things change."
I guess they would want the pick this year. I'd be more than happy to give them Drew and our future Detroit pick for him. ------------------ Get your proper swirve on...visit www.swirve.com (coming in mid-June, for now visit www.eesite.com)
Harrington is a back up at best. he is not worth drew and a pick. he doesn't know how to write D. The only passing skill O has,is when he had to much to eat,and passes on the next meal. Do you get the picture? ------------------
Agreed. He would be a back up, but a good back up. He would provide a spark off the bench and give some scoring from the post to take off some of the pressure from the backcourt. He could run with the backcourt and he still is young. Maybe Drew and a lower rounder, or just Drew. But I know there is a disparity in salaries there. ------------------ screw Bud Adams
Does anybody think Vancouver would take Drew and pick 38 for Othella? I'd like to do that deal. Othella is not a starter, but he is a quality player who can bring a spark off the bench. I'd do it. ------------------ Cheaters never win. Unless you play for LA that is.
Vancouver could use Drew and a future 1st round pick sounds reasonable, especially since they still owe Detroit one. ------------------ There better be a statue of Hakeem outside of the new downtown arena.
But, we already owe VAN one first rounder, I doubt we'd up that total to 2. A possibility would be if we got Phoenix's pick via Orlando this year....Drew/#25 for Othella? Maybe, maybe not. ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
As much as I like Othella, this doesn't bolster the Rockets' suspect interior defense at all. Kenny/Othella @ the 4 = layup drill ------------------ - hoopjunkie "when you come in da HOOD... things change."
