Warriors' forward Al Harrington confirmed on Tuesday night that he would like to be traded and admitted that his desire to leave Golden State began last season.

"If you ask me if I want to be traded, I've been wanting to be traded since the end of last season," Harrington said. "With everything that happened in the summer and coming into training camp, I was hoping things were going to work out between me and [coach] Nellie, but I don't think that's going to happen.

"It is what it is. That's being all the way honest. That's putting it out there. Do I think that Al might have to be traded? Do I think it's going to work with me and Nellie? I don't think so. That's how I feel."

Harrington also explained that he didn't want to be a distraction to the team, but news of Coach Don Nelson's contract extension has him doubting that the two can make it work.
