New York Knicks fans have a tendency to evaluate the bad before acknowledging the good. Thus, when it was announced that Tim Hardaway Jr. was signed to a four-year contract worth $71 million, negativity immediately surfaced.
Fortunately, the concerns of the fans were voiced directly to Hardaway Jr. by the front office that signed him to a long-term deal.
Mills is confident in the signing of Hardaway Jr., but he’s aware of the areas in which the 25-year-old struggles to contribute. Rather than feeding Hardaway Jr. lies to persuade him into signing, the front office was honest about the areas in which he must improve.
