Agent Answers Peja Trade Conspiracy Theories

The trade exception that the Hornets gave the Pacers in exchange for Peja Stojakovic have led some to wonder about the motives behind the move. Some believe that it was for the Hornets to win favor with the Pacers in attempts to help in a potential relocation, while also keeping Al Harrington out of the Western Conference.

Andy Miller, the agent for Harrington, said he and Harrington were still considering other offers when the Hornets and Pacers agreed to the trade. He added that he didn’t think the Pacers “under any or every circumstance were going to get Al Harrington.”

“I have no idea about the relationship between the two owners,” Miller said. “Being actively involved in the whole process, I can tell you that when it was announced that (the Pacers) received a trade exception, we hadn’t made a decision whether we were going to Indiana or any other team that was pursuing us.

“So from a conspiracy theory perspective, it doesn’t have any weight, because we’re not a part of that theory and we hadn’t made a decision yet.”
