Personally, I think it would be a mistake to trade BOTH Hardy and THJ, even setting the economics aside.
I think THJ's contract is a good one, at least for now. I wonder what he'd get in the open market, and whether or not the Mavs could get him for cheaper the next time around. I know most people want him gone and don't even want to think about re-signing, but most of those same people felt that way about Powell, so I'm not going to rule it out yet.
If THJ is NOT in the plans (and having typed the paragraph above, I don't believe he is) then I think they're going to need bench offense from the guard position. I really, really do. AND, if/when this Luka/Kyrie thing ever really and truly works, wouldn't it be nice to have a Kyrie "understudy" to plug in during the 20-30 games (at least) Kyrie doesn't play? Wouldn't it also be nice to have Kyrie's replacement on the roster in case you want to move HIS contract later, as it gets close to expiring?
Curry has done nothing for me this season. I think he has been the biggest disappointment on the team. I think you've got to plan for either Hardaway OR Hardy to be in the rotation, moving forward, and I have a feeling it's going to be Hardy.
