I sound like a bitch? I sound like a Laker fan, you don't. Mad homie?...I'm sure people respect me more as a Laker fan than they do your punk ass...PeACe

Wrong as usual. I'm a fan - you're a dickrider. Your lil list just proved it. Sad part is, you really believe that list would happen.

That's shit fans do, it's called optimism...I'm a fan, fans are supposed to show SUPPORT, something you NEVER do... you're just a fucking dickhead who likes the Lakers, not a true fan...PeACe

Pacers Owner Nixed Harrington Deal

By Mike Wells
Indianapolis Star-
 
The Atlanta Hawks plan to open negotiations with other teams for a possible sign-and-trade deal after not being able to agree with the Pacers, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
The Hawks were ready to sign Harrington to a six-year, $57 million deal, then send him and center John Edwards to the Pacers for their $7.5 million trade exception and a future first-round draft pick when Indiana owner Herb Simon nixed the deal because he didn't like the length of Harrington's contract. Simon wanted Harrington, 26, to sign a four-year deal worth about $9 million a season, and he also doesn't want Edwards, the person said.
Simon, team president Larry Bird and CEO Donnie Walsh did not return several phone messages seeking comment Friday.
The Pacers, who are trying to rebound from a disappointing season, have spent more than a month trying to work out a deal with the Hawks. The Pacers were the front-runners for Harrington, who spent his first six seasons here, but they'll have trouble getting him now. Denver and Golden State are believed to be willing to acquire Harrington for about $65 million over six years. The Los Angeles Lakers are also expected to be in the mix.
Harrington has spent the past two seasons in Atlanta, averaging 18.1 points per game.
Without Harrington, the Pacers' status in the Eastern Conference is unsettled. They have acquired eight new players this summer, but they haven't landed a player with the ability to compliment Jermaine O'Neal. They traded Ron Artest for Peja Stojakovic in January, then shipped Stojakovic to New Orleans in a sign-and-trade deal last month.
The Pacers still have trade exceptions of $7.5 million and $2.6 million, the midlevel exception of about $5.2 million and their bi-annual exception of $1.7 million to use this summer.
"We have done a lot of things to this point," Walsh said earlier this week. "We've got another month and a half until training camp, so there is plenty of time to get our roster how we want it."
Walsh also said earlier this week that they're willing to start camp with the current roster, then look to make other moves.
"Some times you have to go into training camp not having everything you want," Walsh said. "We don't normally do things that way, but that's always an option."

sucks for Indiana....Im sure you Lakers would love to have him, but then again, wasnt the deal for Bynum?  Its wierd , Golden State is just one of those teams I can never see making the playoffs.

Lakers WONT give up Bynum...The trade with Indiana was gunna be for a draft pick, so I'm sure the Lakers can package something decent (ala Brian Cook, Aaron McKie, 1st pick)...I'm not counting on it, but it could work nice:
