After three consecutive defeats, the Atlanta Hawks fell from fifth place in the East to eighth in the East, and the Atlantans realized the importance of Sun Yue to the Hawks.

Other teams in the NBA have also recognized Sun's importance to the Hawks, and in the home game against the Indiana Pacers, Pacers head coach Rick Brown. Carlisle sent Jamal. Tinsley followed Sun Yue all over the court.

At the same time with Ron. Artest and Stephen. Jackson's two defensive stalwarts on the front line blocked the Hawks' flanks, and the interior has Jermaine, who is in his prime. O'Neal's guard, the Hawks could only lose in the end, losing to the Pacers, who were seventh in the East, by eight points.

The defensive strategy used by Carlisle in this game was very successful, whether it was Sun Yue and Childis on the outside, or Al on the inside. Harrington and Josh. Smith would have been restrained, if it weren't for Joe. Johnson played well, scoring an efficient 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting, and the Hawks would lose even more.

After the Hawks lost this game, the difference between the win and the Pacers in front of them widened to two games, and the Milwaukee Bucks, who ranked ninth in the East, were further shortened from the Hawks, which made the Hawks' playoff prospects not optimistic.

So after three consecutive losses, Hawks fans began to get agitated, and Atlantans were calling for the team to trade, and the highest call for a trade was for Eyre. Harrington.

During the three-game losing streak, Harrington performed very badly, not only did he not perform much on the offensive end, but he was also repeatedly beaten by his own players on the defensive end, whether it was the Pacers' Ron. Artest, or the Celtic Paul. Pierce, all pressed Harrington to the ground and rubbed.

Atlanta fans have long been disappointed with Harrington, and they wish the Hawks could trade Harrington sooner, and the first thing Hawks fans do every morning when they turn on their phones or computers is to see if there is any news that Harrington has been traded away by the Hawks.

In fact, the Hawks' management also tried hard to trade Harrington, but none of the team offers for Harrington were satisfactory to the Eagles.

The Chicago Bulls are willing to take out Rohr. Deng traded for Harrington, but asked the Hawks to take another Childes, and the Boston Celtics were also interested in Harrington, and their offer was to trade Al Brown. Jefferson and Tony. Aaron goes to trade for Al. Harrington and Pachulia, neither of whom had an offer that pleased the Eagles' management.

In fact, as the head coach of the team, Woodson is most interested in the player is the second-year small forward Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers, Iguodala has strong physical fitness, outstanding defensive ability, and is fully qualified to be the outside defensive gate, if the Hawks can get him, it is like a tiger with wings, Iguodala not only brings outside defensive ability, but also can make up for the shortcomings of the Hawks' weak impact on the outside.

Woodson's idea is good, but there is still a gap from reality, and the 76ers are not willing to trade Iguodala for Harrington for two reasons:

Iguodala's potential in the first and second years is obvious, and the management of the 76ers will naturally not turn a blind eye, they have already cultivated Iguodala as the future core of the team and the team's second leader, and naturally will not trade it out easily.

Second, the 76ers are not interested in Harrington, and the 76ers already have a slow-paced Chris at the power forward position. Webb, if there is another Harrington, it will not only be a positional conflict, but it will also destroy the defensive system that the 76ers built up during the Brown era.

So the 76ers weren't willing to make this non-cost-effective trade with the Hawks.

The rest of the teams naturally still want to get Harrington through trades, such as the Sacramento Kings who are willing to pay former All-Star interior Raheem in order to get Harrington, and the Minnesota Timberwolves also took out Mark. Blount such a chip.

But obviously none of these trade offers will satisfy the Hawks, so the Hawks are still in the stage of listening to offers, but it is also a wise thing to do, and too much rush to trade will give other teams the opportunity to take advantage of the danger, which is not uncommon in the NBA's trade market.

Sometimes, the dissemination of some news often only requires someone to take the lead, and others will naturally follow suit when they see that it is newsworthy. For a time, the Eagles were planning to trade Al. Rumors of Harrington spread like the wind, and within days they had spread throughout the Union.

In an instant, Harrington's transaction has undoubtedly become a hot topic in the NBA trading market, and the major sports media have predicted and analyzed the Hawks' trading plans under the banner of helping the Hawks.

In the face of trade rumors, Hawks general manager Billy Murphy. Knight recently stood up to refute the rumors, Billy. Knight told local media in Atlanta that he and the Hawks are currently working to make sure they can keep all the valuable players "and not to sell them to other clubs."

And Billy. Knight also said that Harrington is an important part of the team, and the Hawks have no idea of trading Harrington at the moment in the Hawks' long-term plans.

However, the analysis of the American sports media pointed out that the top management of the Hawks has recently stood up and expressed their reluctance to put Al . Harrington went out, most likely because Harrington's trade value wasn't as much as they expected.

Compared to the hot state at the beginning of the game, Al. Harrington's recent performances have been slightly mediocre, especially in recent games against several of the league's top small forwards, exposing their weaknesses. It could also affect Harrington's performance in the trade market, which is why the Hawks' management has to come out.

However, if teams that are genuinely interested in Harrington offer a higher trade chip, they can still impress the Hawks and make them willing to trade Harrington.

For the Eagles, Al. A Harrington deal is already a necessity, it's just a matter of time.
