Lockes blog says Jazz are in talks with Al Harrington along with the Clippers and Nets... Anyone else think this would be an odd signing?

Very, very odd. He's the last thing the Jazz need.

wow that's a name nobody was talking about..

Actually he wouldn't be a BAD sign.. plays both forward positions. Some in NYC though did not like how he was a ball hog and shot the 3 as many times as he did but he can shoot it... also got in trouble with Don Nelson I think..or did.. I don't remember..

Not a bad idea.

He chucked nearly 6 threes a game as a Knick. He earned the nickname "no-sharington" from Knicks fans. He was so bad even the KNICKS didn't want him. Let that sink in for a minute.

for sure he wouldn't get the green light here like he did in the running offense in the Knicks. He would have to come in and play team ball probably for the first time in his career...

all depends on if he's willing to do that.

And he's a power forward, which the Jazz already have several of.

Alan Hahn's latest tweet:

Locke's RT:
Has to be w/ Utah or team w cap space RT

**edit**looks like the jazz got the TPE from chicago..

Wiretap indicates it could be Bobcats or Rockets:
A four-team trade involving the Bobcats, Heat, Rockets and Raptors has reportedly been discussed.

Sources say Michael Beasley and Jared Jeffries would be sent to Charlotte, with Tyson Chandler going to Houston.

The move would create more cap space for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh...

This is a guy that, if say HolyToledo made a trade proposal for, almost all of you would have bashed as a one dimensional chucker who has been a cancer on every team he has played for...now that the Jazz may be considering him its hilarious to see the spinning going on.

We need offense to come from somewhere, but I don't really want it to be from Al. Maybe we can use that TE to get Jason Richardson on a one year rental?

Now KOC has:
- TPE 6.5M (Harpring's tarde)
- TPE for about 12-13M (Boozer's S&T)
- Korver (to posibly work a S&T)

Not too much, but it can make something work with tems looking for cap relief.
Let's wait some days to see what happens now, because something will happen...

Harpring TPE has to be used by December sometime, right?

Really? Sounds to me like a lot of people aren't sold on it, save a few.
