The Atlanta Hawks are a much different basketball team than they were just a few months ago and once such change is the loss of Tim Hardaway Jr. in free agency. After an intriguing second season in a Hawks uniform, Hardaway Jr. found a big-ticket buyer in the New York Knicks and, while it was likely an overpay, the former Michigan swingman earned the payday and has performed well in his new spot.
On Friday, though, Hardaway Jr. will be back at his old stomping grounds for the first time since the defection, as the Knicks are in town.
