Said NY had zero interest in him.

Said coach Karl will "use me right" "in the mid post" "instead of shooting threes all game long"


Just figured I'd pass it on...was interviewed during part of the SL game tonight.

Go back and look at Al Harrington's history before New York. He was the same player everywhere. Has nothing to do with D'Antoni. Harrington is just a low basketball IQ moron.

I'll tell you what says more about MDA in the minds of FA's, WINNING! Amare got the money he wanted and it didn't matter that he had issues with MDA in the past. When we get more wins this year and get into the playoffs that will pretty much kill any anti MDA squawking from the losers we let go.

D'Antoni did have issues with Harrington and wanted him moved at the deadline. There was the alleged quote that D'Antoni thought Harrington was a bad influence on the younger players. I think D'Antoni's treatment of players last year has been excused by a lot of people because it was the year before the execution of the plan. However, players talk and the NBA is a relatively small fraternity of guys so it may impact the Knicks in free agency.

I know Harrington had issues with Nelson but did he struggle with other coaches?

well they have/had no future or job security so i guess they feel used, but how does duhon trash us after all the minutes he got? duhon has no one to blame but himself and his sorry ass scoring ability.

I don't know, he agreed to come before anyone got a chance to get at him. Certainly before the Suns could say BOO! LeBron hadn't publicly commited to anyone. I'm sure some other team might have offered him a similar deal.

Wonder how Karl will feel about him going one on five? I can't believe they gave him that kind of a deal.

He was trying to put us in position to get Curry in the draft. Not to mention a lot of poorly timed shots

Are u kidding me, thats all u remember AL hanging on the rim, how about when he got past guys and missed lay ups all by himself, ultimately draining all momentum during a fast break

suns coulda paid max, and didnt want to. we shall see how it goes. i think the nets may have made a run though it doesnt seem like many got a chance or put in calls.

Sad when players say the same things fans says. Mike D'Antoni's offense is jack 3's.

Al was cap fodder. Not much more. There was no interest. Dude never lived up to his potential. He is rich and loved by all on his payroll!

nice kid, great smile, and im sure a good guy.

An overpaid diva.

5 year deal with denver. Phuch that noise!

Yea how far do we go in the playoffs? D'Antoni is already bad mouthing The Russian Center. I bet he refuse to play him. D'Antoni is now on the clock.
