The salary-capped Warriors have only about $7 million to spend because of the midlevel and bi-annual exceptions.

Using even a small portion of those could push the Warriors into the luxury tax, so the only way to acquire Harrington without penalty is through a sign-and-trade deal with Atlanta.

The Hawks are under the salary cap and can sign Harrington, who made $7 million last year, to more money than any capped-out team. Harrington (6-foot-9, 245 pounds) averaged a career-best 18.6 points and 5.8 rebounds last season.

"(The Warriors are) definitely a viable option," Miller said. "It's a destination someone would be comfortable calling home -- dealing with a young team, obviously a very stable executive group and organization."

Miller, who also represents Warriors first-round pick Patrick O'Bryant, expected the market for Harrington to take form once the first tier of free agents was off the table.
