With Al Harrington firing agent Andy Miller last week, a door was opened which may allow other teams to re-enter the stakes for the scoring forward.  Harrington appeared to be a lock to return to the Pacers, but with the deal continually being delayed after the teams couldn't agree on a right mix for the deal he got frustrated and relieved Miller of his duties, opting for Arn Tellem to represent him instead.

Other teams - with Minnesota reportedly showing renewed interest - have re-entered the mix, according to the Boston Herald, guaranteeing a prolonged drama.

Hawks general manager Billy Knight, in keeping a disciplined eye on the salary cap, is asking for draft picks instead of veteran contracts in any Harrington deal, and the Pacers haven?t been able to offer the right package - all of this despite the allure of a $7.5 million trade exception that would make most deals work.
