A source with knowledge of the situation has told Tommy Dee that the Warriors and Bulls were getting ready to finalize a Kirk Hinrich-Al Harrington trade earlier this month right before the Bulls' guard suffered an injury to his thumb.

Because of the injury, the Warriors had to find a new trading partner, which wasn't solved until they dealt Harrington to the Knicks for Jamal Crawford on Friday.

Harrington told reporters he wanted to be dealt to New York “back in April.”
