Tim Hardaway Jr.’s game still has more questions than answers

The Dallas Mavericks acquired Tim Hardaway Jr.’s services in a blockbuster Kristaps Porzingis trade, and he was a plug-in starter because the Mavericks shipped off 80 percent of it’s starting lineup by midseason. It’s worth noting that the Knicks were licking their chops trying to get off Hardaway’s colossal contract, so he was largely the tax the Mavericks had to pay to swing the deal for Porzingis. However, Hardaway’s arrival was one of relative - if not misguided - excitement because he represented an athletic and dynamic (theoretical) shot creator.
