The New York Knicks made one of the most shocking decisions of the 2017 offseason when president Steve Mills signed Tim Hardaway Jr. to a four-year deal worth $71 million. Most were supportive of the actual signing, but the general feeling was a sense of concern over the price tag.
In order for Hardaway Jr. to silence his critics and justify the investment, he’ll need to build upon the career-year he experienced in 2016-17.
As Hardaway Jr. searches for ways to match his value on the court to his hit against the salary cap, history should be his friend.
