Well, it’s official: Tim Hardaway Jr. will be making his return to the New York Knicks.
After signing an offer sheet on Thursday, July 6, reports emerged that the Atlanta Hawks have no interest in matching the massive contract for their restricted free agent.
Atlanta will not match New York's $71M offer sheet to Tim Hardaway Jr., but official notification still hours away, sources tell ESPN.
Shortly thereafter, the Knicks officially announced the deal.
The Knicks were on the verge of a quiet summer. They appeared content with letting their free agents walk, tearing down the veteran contracts, and starting to build a franchise from scratch.
