It's a fair contract for a top-20 starting SG. That's what he should be. There are better deals out there, but plenty worse. The problem is you're paying for offensive production but getting KCP without the defense. He's not starting and his minutes are down. I mentioned this in another thread, but this team needs to find some consistency in the rotation and a bench identity. If Hardaway is going to come off the bench he needs to settle into a role. Stop trying to fit in. Stop forcing things. Get out of your head. Just play the game and be that 28-30 min tough-as-nails 16 ppg scorer we've seen before.
He'll get there but I don't think his head is right at the moment. Good example is the last game. He nailed two threes in a row so he jacked up a wild ass heat check three that had no chance. Dude just needs to settle down and let the game come to him. Get in rhythm and take his shots and they'll start to go in. He's his own worst enemy when he tries to get his mojo back all back at once.
