Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. will exercise his $18.975MM player option for next 2020/21, tweets Tim MacMahon of ESPN.
Acquired from the Knicks midway through the 2018/19 season, Hardaway became a valuable contributor during his first full season in Dallas. The 28-year-old averaged 15.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 71 games while shooting a career-best 39.8% from three-point range.
Like many players with option years, Hardaway would have faced an uncertain fate in free agency due to the league’s downturn in revenue and the lack of teams with cap space. He will become an unrestricted free agent next summer in what is expected to be a more robust market.
This is news ….. overpaid
Not by much. He’s not in NY anymore so he isn’t surrounded by crap. He was actually good last year…
You expect that you will get Double Pay when you signed with Knicks
Hardaway has improved a lot
If I were a below average player, I would always sign with Knicks but not Rockets
He could of opted out and signed with GS to replace Klay.
So the mavs gonna trade for Oladipo or Derozen???
