I guess Larry had enough of Stephen Jackson and is now trying to convert the Pacers into 2007 version of the Celtics with Dunleavy as Bird and Murphy as McHale..Good move regardless Jackson is a team cancer

Trading good thug players for bad tame players makes no sense to me. I haven't like the Pacers since the Reggie, Smits, Dale & Antonio Davis, and McKey days. I loved the Knicks rivalry growing up, but since then the team is just a sad program.

I look at this trade value for value:
Harrington for Murphy: I'd do this anyday of the week,Murphy isn't the same guy
Jackson for Dunleavy: Oh My God, if any of you guys had to watch this player since 2002 you would say Jackson is a saint. Dunleavy plays with no passion,hes non athletic,Statue on defense,Very Sensitive to Newspaper reports/crtizism,and worse of all the one strength everyone thinks he has (shooting) isn't really true because i've never seen Mike make 2 baskets in a row.(I watch 40 games a year and follow the beat regularly)
his real strengh is as a passer ,but at 6''9' 230 he negates that strengh by playing like a guy 6'2''(really soft player)
The Lithuanian for Mcleod: Both good free throw shooters.............but Mcleod can't shoot at all from outside while the other guy is a three point specialist.Plus with Davis playing 48 minutes a game we needed a reliable point backup.
Pacers win if Ike Diogu plays consistent minutes and developes into the type of player he was in college (20pts10rebs).But with Jermaine O'Neal around you wonder if he will ever find room in the paint to work with his back to the basket.
I don't know anything about the Powell guy to comment,but Diogu is the key plain and simple.......while the Warriors win big because Harrington in Nelson's system is gonna be crazy.No one can really guard Al in the paint plus his 3pt shot is coming around,Nelson will scheme to have Al act like a point Forward
(talk about matchup problems)..........also a unknown tidbit in the deal is that Harrinton and Baron Davis have trained together the last two offseason in Las Vegas.So the two are already known to each other.
Warriors come out on top
Harrington for Murphy: I'd do this anyday of the week,Murphy isn't the same guy
Jackson for Dunleavy: Oh My God, if any of you guys had to watch this player since 2002 you would say Jackson is a saint.
