Bulls may consider trading top pick for Harrington The Bulls and Indiana Pacers have discussed a trade sending Al Harrington and the No. 29 pick in the June 24 draft to the Bulls for the No. 3 pick and a player, possibly Scottie Pippen, according to a league source. Talks are still in the early stages as both teams gauge the market. Harrington is a 6-9, 250-pound small forward who averaged 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds this season, finishing second to Dallas' Antawn Jamision for the Sixth Man of the Year award. But Harrington no longer wants to come off the bench, and the Pacers have indicated a willingness to move him. Harrington is considered a bargain with two years and $13.3 million left on his contract. He's a perfect fit for the type of player Bulls operations chief John Paxson has targeted for the offseason. NOTES: It appears the strange saga of Bulls second-round pick Mario Austin is nearing a conclusion as Austin is close to reaching a buyout of his contract with Russia's CSKA team. The buyout could be completed as soon as today, and Austin would then join the Bulls for summer-league action. The Bulls own the rights to Austin for next season, but it's possible he'll be dangled in trade talks. *Unprotected lists are due today for the June 22 expansion draft for the Charlotte Bobcats, but it should be anticlimactic for the Bulls. The Bobcats aren't expected to take any of the available Bulls, whose list of unprotected players consists of Antonio Davis, Jerome Williams, Eddie Robinson , Scottie Pippen, Marcus Fizer and Ronald Dupree. Dupree might be the most likely to go because he's inexpensive. And the $3 million the Bulls will offer Charlotte to take Robinson's contract isn't expected to make a difference. *The Bulls worked Latvian forward Andris Biedrins and Russian forward Viktor Khryapa on Thursday. *Minnesota's 6-8, 240-pound forward Kris Humphries will work out for the Bulls on Tuesday, along with Nevada's Kirk Snyder, Stanford's Josh Childress, Wisconsin's Devin Harris and Connecticut's Ben Gordon. Duke's Luol Deng also is a possibility. 第一則是說公牛與蹓馬的交易謠言 公牛把第三順位選秀權與Pippen換蹓馬的Harrington跟第29順位選秀權 第二則新聞是談論到去年新人Austin 談到他的合約處理問題 他也可能被捲入交易之中 第三則報導則是擴張選秀的未列入保護名單球員的猜測與新人測試的報導 未列入的球員有Antonio Davis, Jerome Williams, Eddie Robinson, Scottie Pippen, Marcus Fizer and Ronald Dupree -- Phil Jackson的三套冠軍戰術 1.把球給Michael 2.把球給Jordan 3.把球給Michael Jordan --
