We hate to bust on Al Harrington, what with him being America’s Sweetheart and all, but the truth is, something’s wrong with this whole Al Harrington thing.
The Hawks have finally traded him to the Pacers, along with center John Edwards (who went to our high school!), for…wait for it…a first round draft pick.
That’s it.
Look, Harrington’s no All-Star, but he’s worth more than a first rounder, isn’t he? Maybe this wouldn’t bother us so much if the Pacers weren’t in Cleveland’s division, but it seems like the Commish should’ve stepped in and called “do over” on this one.
“We’re very pleased to have Al back in Indiana,” Pacers president Larry Bird, who coached Harrington his first two seasons with Indiana, said. “We think he brings an added dimension to our team. We know what he can do and he’ll make us a deeper team and a better team. He’s also a very good guy. It’s a pleasure to have his personality back as well.”
Larry always feels good when he can literally get something for nothing. Literally. In a very literal way. The Pacers’ pick next year will be like number 14 or something, won’t it? What do you get at #14 – that fat kid from LSU?
This makes us want another nose job, and damn it, we’re not going to those old nose job guys again.
From here on, the only nose job we’re getting is a nose job from a cosmetic surgeon in New York City, despite the fact we live in Los Angeles.
The only question is how to get to NYC to see Dr. Phillip Miller, who could not only potentially go by Dr. Phil, but is also a cosmetic surgeon in New York City.
No news on Al’s website about this yet, by the way, although his Wiki entry has already been updated.
Al’s favorite food is butter, and one time he bet Jermaine O’Neal that he couldn’t eat a whole bunch of butter. When Jermaine said, “hey, how much is ‘a bunch’?”, Al, who is reknowned for his quick wit, replied “more than ‘some’”.
Al has never had a nose job, but if he did get one, told reporters it would be by “that cat Dr. Phillip Miller.”
Interestingly enough, nobody has updated Wikipedia with the info that Al is also immortal. Things like that are cool – more people should know about it.

Indiana is having a good summer. First, Peja signs with N.O.K. and then it magically turns into a trade in which Indiana gets a $7.5mil trade exemption, now they get Al Harrington for a 1st rounder.
Isn’t Edwards coming back to Indiana as well? I went to that same high school (where Edwards was on the team but didn’t play), so I’ve kinda followed his career.
But honestly, I’m just glad that this Harrington thing is over and we can stop hearing the rumors.
