Al-Harrington
Albert (Al) Harrington (born February 17, 1980 in Orange, New Jersey) is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the NBA's Golden State Warriors. The small forward stands six-feet nine-inches (2.06 m), weighing 250 pounds (113 kg).
At only 18 years of age, he was selected by the Pacers with the 25th pick of the 1998 NBA Draft, and spent six seasons with them, primarily coming off the bench. Harrington really began to come into his own in the 2001-02 season, in which he averaged 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, but his season came to an end in a game against the Boston Celtics when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss the final 38 games of the season.
He made a comeback in the 2002-03 season, becoming the only Pacer to play in all 82 games that year. He averaged 12.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game while starting in 37 games. The following season, he boosted his averages slightly to 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and finished second in voting for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award. He was an integral part of the Pacers' first run to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.
On July 15, 2004, amidst rumors that Harrington was unhappy coming off the bench behind All-Stars Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal, Harrington was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Stephen Jackson. Harrington finally became a nightly starter, but the Hawks did not fare as successfully as the Pacers did after his departure.
After the 2005-06 NBA season he became a free agent. It was reported that the Indiana Pacers and the Golden State Warriors were suitors. It was originally expected that the Indiana Pacers would acquire him in a sign-and-trade deal, but Harrington fired his agent.[1], which did not guarantee that the deal would be completed.[2] On August 22, the deal was finally completed, with the Hawks receiving a 2007 first-round draft pick[3]. For the 2006-07 season with the Pacers, Harrington wore jersey #32 because his first choice #3 was worn by teammate Sarunas Jasikevicius (saying it stands for "number three, and it's my second time around").[4]
On January 17, 2007, Harrington was dealt to the Golden State Warriors along with teammates Stephen Jackson, Sarunas Jasikevicius, and Josh Powell for Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod
