I say he moves on.
He played really well here and became a guy with a bad contract to a real valuable piece.
With that being said, I can't believe the Mavs resign him after all the planning for this offseason...even with a diminished FA class. If they bring back Hardaway, you are really just improving the team on the edges imo. The rest of our trade pieces are solid players and some on very good contracts. But they would not bring you a real good player back. Also, other teams could beat our offers minus any first round picks.
If we get a Derozan or Conley via a Sign and trade, Hardaway is a little redundant as well. Maybe not so much with Conley but would there be enough playing time for either the Mavs to invest the $ into him or Hardaway to be happy coming off the bench again? So even if we got a player in a sign and trade, I am not sure Hardaway would be the best use of our remaining $.
We will see. I really like him, but the more I think about this offseason I have trouble seeing a route with Hardaway back on this team and the team jumping up a tier.
