In an interview with the Indianapolis Star, Al Harrington revealed his thoughts on leaving Indiana.

Q: Do you regret asking the Pacers for a trade?

A: No, this is going to make me better in a lot of ways. Obviously when I asked to be traded I didn't think I was coming to Atlanta. But things happen for a reason. I have to continue to work and we'll get out of this thing eventually.

Q: You'll be a free agent after this season and could have a lot of options. Are you looking forward to that?

A: I'll have a lot of options. But I like Atlanta. I feel it's the type of situation if we turn it around everybody will fall in love with us. I see the reception the (NFL) Falcons get. Once you start winning, it's unbelievable. We can take over the city.
