Al Harrington to fire agent
Atlanta Hawks forward Al Harrington, rumored for weeks to be headed back to Indiana as a part of a sign-and-trade deal with the Pacers, plans to fire his agent, according to a newspaper report.Harrington took steps Tuesday to sever ties with agent Andy Miller, a move that could have serious ramifications for his move out of Atlanta, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on its Web site.
According to league rules, there must be a 15-day window between the time a player officially fires his agent and the time he can hire new representation. Harrington is expected to hire Arn Tellem as his new agent, the Journal-Constitution reported, citing persons familiar with the situation.
No doubt Harrington saw how Tellem was able to rape and pillage the Chicago Bulls for Ben Wallace, and decided he wanted a bigger slice of pie as well. And who can blame him? When the Knicks are willing to give $29 million to Jerome James and $30 million to Jared Jeffries, legitimate talents like Al Harrington start foaming at the mouth.
