The X-Factor Tim Hardaway Jr.: DAL to give long term extension?

[Fuerza1]

I really do think THJ opts into his last year with the Mavs and the Mavs look to extend him, ala a Dwight Powell move. I think a 2 or 3 year extension around 15-16 per, so lets just say 3/48, last year being a player option.

That's what I believe will happen, and should happen. THJ is a legit starter, his years in ATL were actually sneaky good. 

I think the jury is still out on whether THJ is a championship level starter though. But you know he can still be a valuable 6th man or you can move him in a couple years if need be.

Personally, I would start the negotiations at $12-13M/yr. Maybe give him 4 years instead of 3.
