Well, unless there's some kind of play for cap space coming that we don't know about, I have zero motivation to get off of Hardaway's contract. I think he's a good player on a good deal that's getting better by declining each year. I don't really consider it a negative, and if it becomes a problem, waiting until you need to move it will only make him/it more valuable, probably.
I would trade Hardaway in a deal to make the team better - don't get me wrong. I just don't want to make the team worse by moving him.
I also think Curry is more of a playmaker than Hardaway, but only marginally, and not in any truly meaningful way. Like, I wouldn't want either being the primary ball-handler for any portion of games. They're both off-guards, to me.
