Chris Mullin thought he was close to acquiring Al Harrington a few weeks ago and now that the forward has switched agents, he is back in the running. Mullin knows he has a good relationship with Arn Tellem, Harrington's rumored new agent.

``I'll be on the phone later today for sure,'' Mullin said. ``But really, the factor becomes Atlanta. That's what everybody's missing. If they want to do a basketball deal, they can do a good deal where we can be as big a player as anybody.''
