No way he'll be missed. The one positive quality about him was he wanted to be a Knick, playing in New York. But everything about him as a basketball player is what we don't need. A black hole on offense, a desire to take over games that ultimately throws the Knicks' offense off-balance, and atrocious D. I really thought Walsh might have considered keeping him because he really liked him, but whew, dodged a bullet there.

We have to admit, when he's hot he's hot, But he does have a HS player mentality and makes horrible decisions, but a sign and trade would be nice for us and him

Can't you have up to 15? Probably doesn't matter. I don't think we have enough cap space to do an S&T.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Al Harrington came to play every night. Think of him as a taller N8, and although he had injuries throughout his time here, he did try to answer the call, wether successful or not

i didnt mind him. he has helped us win a decent amount of games because he can flat out score on some nights. however, he didnt evolve at all and did many boneheaded things like hanging on the rim TWICE in one game to earn a tech.

You forgot the missed layups from time to time

Harrington's style of play doesn't fit in with the Knicks, but he is a player. He won lots of games for us last year, scoring 25 to 30 pts off of the bench. Al played tough. I'm surprised no team wanted him at the trade deadline.
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

for what our team was built to do the past 2 years he's not someone i would complain about... at least he played hard on most nights & provided a scoring presence.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I agree. I don't like how he was a black hole, but at least he was reliable and played hard.
