The Denver Nuggets have emerged as a potential third team in a sign-and-trade deal that will land Al Harrington with the Warriors.

On Tuesday, the Hawks were given more freedom to complete signings.

Because the two teams most interested in Harrington, Indiana and Golden State, are both over the cap, he cannot receive more than the mid-level exception without the help of a sign-and-trade deal with his former club, the Atlanta Hawks.
