MAVS NEWS:

[soog]

I don't think Hardy will be traded, mainly because his value isn't high enough to warrant it. He is simply not there yet.
For Mavs fans he represents hope of developing into something legit, but for other front offices he is just a nice 2nd round pick who showed flashes in his rookie year. They won't give something meaningful for him.

While we are normally at risk of being homers and overvaluing our boys in blue, I think you are vastly undervaluing Hardy here. Yes he slid last year, but he successfully demonstrated (especially post Kyrie trade when Luka was injured), that his slide in the draft was unwarranted. If anything, I think it will be hard for the Mavs to get blue back unless they are willing to include either Hardy or Green as outgoing assets.
