According to ESPN, the Golden State Warriors have traded Al Harrington for Jamal Crawford of the New Yorke Knicks.

Harrington came out a few weeks ago shortly after the season opened up and requested a trade out of Golden State. He felt he didn’t fit in and his beef with coach Don Nelson was quite obvious.

The trade request has been granted and Al Harrington will now be the single superstar player on the New York Knicks. He is the biggest name on the team (that plays, Marbury doesn’t count) and he will be looking to prove his worthiness.

I expect Harrington to be successful under coach Mike D’Antoni as the Knicks actually look decent for the first time in years.

Jamal Crawford has also looked great this season as he has led the Knicks in scoring. I believe that Don Nelson will bring out the max in Crawford and both teams will be happy with the results of this trade.
