Anybody interested in getting him back, he's a RFA and IMO would be a upgrade over harrington considring the system we play. The guy is a dead on shooter, a little suspect on D (not as bad as LEE) and is still getting better.

He makes 2 mill this season, and would seem like a solid role player for cheap.

I have wondered about him playing C for us as D'Antoni is looking for a center who can shoot the ball. How has his D been this year? We really do need our center to bring something on D. We clearly have to bring in someone to play center. That is more important at this point that a pg imo. I like Douglas there.

Personally, I would have no problem bringing him back- don't want to get in a bidding war for him- but he has had a nice year for the Suns, and you would think he is a player that MDA could make use of. I don't expect miracles from him but I don't see why he can't be a
15-20+MPG rotation player on this team.

At least he doesn't score 25pts then have 3 TO's in the last 2 minutes of a close game,and honestly he would currently be the best 3 point shooter our suad has.

I maybe the only here that does not want to see Al in a knick UNI next season.

Al Harrington? i don't think there's many people around here who want to see him back next season other than Marv.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Always liked Frye. Not sure he could be a starting center on a championship team, but as a 7-8 rotation player, we could use him. I mean, we were playing Jonathan Bender like 10-14 minutes a game. Frye certainly can do better than Bender.

I don't know, people are always talking about how hard he plays, but never about how dumb he plays in the clutch. I see no reason for him to ever be in a close game in the last 2 minutes

the only way Frye makes sense for us is if we end up trading Gallo in a deal for a star player... otherwise what's the point? how many 3 point shooters do we need on this team? i know MDA pops a woodie if a guy can shoot the 3, but enough with these powder soft players that play no defense already & let's build a team that can actually compete against the elite teams of the NBA instead of gimmick let's see how fast we can build a house type offense.

i think people just defend him at times because the criticisms seem excessive, which is why i stick up for him at times, but not many want to keep him around beyond this season.

I actually think Frye would fit in very well. I wouldn't say his D is that awful. He's just not great, but he's good enough in a team concept. I think he's gotten better in all facets of his game. He's a more confident player now and his style of game fits in here as evidenced by how he's playing in PHX. It all depends on the price, cuz he's not the answer to our problems at C. He's at nearly a block a game in 27 mpg. On offense it's hard to block a 7ft'er from shooting a 3, so he's an MDA kind of guy. On D he'd be better than Lee inside, tho that's not a ringing endorsement. We know he can run the floor and finish, so basically he's about what MDA would likely have as a C anyway. The only thing i'd do is add Camby to the mix and I think that would do it.

Soft..the whole damn league is soft for the most part, I would even consider D howard to be soft.

This is the era of basketball where players chummy it up during shoot arounds, laugh and joke around with the opposing teams, you can't so much as breath on a player coming into the lane, and more then 35% of a teams shot attemps are from DT.

If you don't have consistant perimeter players your done, you can actually count on your 2 hands the amount of post up players in the NBA today. David Lee is a perfect example of what big men in this league work on. Look at LBJ, as big and as dominate of a player he is, you mostly see him shooting 3's are slashing the lane.

We keep asking ourselves if MDA's system is good enough to win a title, yet every year we have teams going over seas's to play preseason games, we got rule's preventing you from touching a player period, we got David stern trying is best to incorperate that high octane national type play.

Frye maybe soft, but he can flat out shoot, we have a philosophy were most of bigs end up on the perimeter anyway.

I always liked Snickerdoodle. I actually think he would be an ideal center for MDA.

This is why al sucks, he talk all that talk about being in shape, avg 4 ast and being more of a leader. yet he's season has been just like this



D'Antoni had nine available players and used just eight. Al Harrington was mostly responsible for the comeback as the backup forward scored 26 points to go with 17 rebounds. However, he was out of gas in the fourth quarter and missed all six shots.
