At one point Al Harrington was the main piece on the New York Knicks playing some of the best basketball in his career, averaging 19.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.7 minutes per game in those two seasons. Unfortunately those were still dark times for the Knicks and they didn’t make the playoffs in either season. Dark times have struck the Knicks again. Many fans were looking forward to this offseason as the Knicks had the No. 4 draft pick and plenty of money to spend during free agency. They chose Kristaps Porzingis in the draft and struck out on coveted free agent Greg Monroe who chose the Milwaukee Bucks instead, despite the Knicks offering the same amount of money. Since the Knicks still haven’t picked up anyone significant, Harrington hit Twitter to show his interest and confusion about players not wanting to play in the “Mecca”.
Some fans showed Harrington support, remembering his good days in New York, but others reminded him that he was old and washed up and couldn’t do a thing for the Knicks.
The Knicks are now reportedly going hard to sign Robin Lopez after striking out on Greg Monroe and LaMarcus Aldridge looking bleak.
