The Iverson Trade: A Fantasy Perspective
August 25, 2006
Al Harrington sign-and-trade happens. Does it matter?
Al Harrington was re-signed by the Atlanta Hawks and traded to the Indiana Pacers for a first round draft pick. This trade caps off a relatively ho-hum offseason, where Jermaine O’Neal, Kevin Garnett, Carlos Boozer, and Allen Iverson were supposed to be changing zipcodes, but didn’t.
In the big scheme of things, is this trade going to impact the Atlanta Hawks or the Indiana Pacers?

Small acquisitions trickling in, one trade of note
It looks like Al Harrington may be firing his agent, if reports are to be believed. If that’s the case it may be the end of August before any team acquires the best free agent left on the market. (That’s pretty bad when the best free agent to talk about is Al Harrington.)
That doesn’t mean that no team is doing anything however. It just means that no team is picking up anybody more than sturdy backups to fill out their team.
It looks like that trade with New York to get Starbury back into a Timberwolves uniform isn’t going to happen this year.
Mike James, who reportedly had been mulling over offers from Houston, Dallas, and Minnesota, among others, agreed with the Timberwolves on Tuesday to an offer reported to be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 years and $25 million.
Mike James was generally considered the best point guard in a weak free agent class.
The deal probably means that Marcus Banks, who Minnesota got in the mid-season trade, which included Ricky Davis and Wally Szczerbiak, will probably not be re-signed, unless Minnesota can trade Marco Jaric and/or Troy Hudson, who also play the point guard position.

Official signing period begins slowly
The first few days of the official day that NBA free agents could be approached for verbal agreements began with a flurry of activity, some calls beginning as early as the 12:01 a.m. starting time.
The actually signing of those verbal offers into a binding agreement, however, has been rather less exciting, in spite of the fact that some reported trades depended on various signings of free agents.
Among the free agents expected to sign with new teams include Ben Wallace and Peja Stojakovic.
After the higher profile free agents sign, most of the remaining players are expected to be signed for all or portions of the mid-level exception, which is just over $5 million.
