Sign and trade: Jackson on way; Pacers deal Harrington to Hawks

The Indiana Pacers are close to a sign-and-trade agreement with Atlanta that would send Al Harrington to the Hawks for Stephen Jackson.

The deal cannot become official until Wednesday, but Jackson and other league sources confirmed Saturday it is in the works.

"We're close and hopefully it will be done soon," Jackson told The Star on Saturday from his home in Port Arthur, Texas. "I'm definitely hoping it works out."

Jackson reportedly will sign a six-year contract worth $44 million with Atlanta and then be traded to the Pacers for Harrington, who has two years and $13.3 million left on his contract.

For the Pacers, the trade would alleviate an overcrowded situation at forward and add perimeter scoring and versatility.

Jackson, 26, averaged 18.1 points for the Hawks last season, his fourth in the NBA. He was a starting shooting guard on San Antonio's championship team two years ago, and averaged 12.8 points in the playoffs.

Harrington, 24, averaged 13.3 points in the regular season and 9.5 in the playoffs for the Pacers last season. He was runner-up to Dallas' Antawn Jamison for Sixth Man of the Year, but his desire to start led him to ask for a trade.

Heard about it this morning. I think the Pacers could have gotten better for Al Harrington. I know that they want a pure shooter who can come in and start ahead of Reggie, but Al Harrington is a talented young forward. What the Knicks would give for a 24 year old who can throw down a lob and play defense. :no1:

Amit, do the Nets have any plans? Other than trying to get Martin back, they should be looking to move Kittles or atleast bring in a consistent shooter. Have any info on that?

Who knows? This new owner looks like he's gonna give Donald Sterling a run for his money as the cheapest owner in the league.

Kittles might get traded to the Clippers, at least that's what the Star-Ledger said today.
