An eight-player trade was worked out between the Pacers and Warriors. Stephen Jackson, Saranus I., and Al Harrington were sent to Golden State in exchange for forwards, Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, and Ike Diogu. This wasn't that good of a trade for the Warriors. Obviously, Baron Davis is the point man, running the offense and has things under control. I do think Harrington will help them overcome scoring droughts and give them another clutch performer in the lineup.
It's evident the Indiana organization is up in arms with the fiascos their players have caused in the past 3 or 4 years so they were more than glad to part ways with Stephen Jackson. Both teams involved in this recent deal at this point are towards the bottom of their division and have a slim chance at making the playoffs. They must have a huge second half of the season to gain a final seed in the East and West. I know B.D. needed help by having another scorer in the lineup. Since he's a great passer Al should fit well into the team's offensive strategy. Who knows what will happen with the other players in this trade....they may be able to make the most out of their new opportunity and could do them good to have a change of scenery.
