Thats 3 fowards who can score, plus Lee and maaaaaaaaybe even Nate pending on things. I see very little chance that Duhon stays. I think the coaching staff is high enough on Douglas that they may be willing to give him enough of a shot until a more worthy starter comes along.
Walsh seems to like Harrington, and Al has been pretty flexible in terms of accepting his role on the team, be it as a starter or off the bench He is also a local guy, and may sign for less with us, especially if we were somehow able to land Lebron. He is 30ish, and must know that his best years as a player are behind him, and being part of a team that can win a title may be more valuable to him than a few million more per year.
I still see him as an excellent player off the bench when the offense is having trouble scoring. You need at least one Nate or Harrington on your team, IMO- guys who can ignite a sputtering offense and give you 20-30 on any given night if they are on.
My gut feeling is that Walsh and Harrington work out something next year after the free-agent smoke has cleared away.
