He got criticized for not playing his rookies but when you don't have a consistent bench guy, I'm just curious why he doesn't roll the dice and gamble earlier on the season to give Bellinelli more minutes. It didn't hurt when play Brandan Wright more minutes. The one player that simply didn't show up was Barnes.
If the W's have Harrington's jersey on sale, it's pretty safe to say he won't be here for next season.
On watching the Nike Hoops summit on Yahoo, I like that Alexis Ajinca cat from France. He's 7'1 and the guy reminds me of Tyson Chandler.
Demar Derozan is gonna help USC cuz I think the guy is gonna be crazy good. It's too bad O.J. Mayo is gonna leave.
I also liked Ajinca. He showed more effort and awareness than Ibaka even if his skills are a bit shakey and he needs muscle. We-however-have proven that we lack the skill or commitment to be taking a "project" and should-for now-look to a plug + play type,a player who's already skilled and self motivated. We can't go on wasting draft picks.
Harrington logically is a guy we COULD trade,but There's a lot of "ifs".
Wright seldom even played a full half (if ever?) and still weighs in at under 210....about 10 lb less than Pietrus. There isn't much else. Al will be a $9 mill guy. For him to be gone involves team B wanting to pay Al $9 mill and us accepting the $9 mill worth of player/players coming in return.
That's rather like the posts that say top dump Azu+Barnes+ Pietrus...and there's this notion that we can automatically find better stuff in the dumpster.
There ARE some good prospects who slip through the cracks. Patrick O'bryant and S Lasme will fit that category...but probably won't be here any time soon.
Many are just a poor man's THud.
