I am in lockstep with this opinion. Truly. And if it were up to me, I'd have him penciled in for 15 minutes per next season, minimum.
But, if THEY can't find their way to commit to him on that level, for whatever reason, I think it might be better for all involved if they move on now, rather than go through the pain of any type of extension first. The second he's making Green money he's less valuable (especially if it's coming off of another year where he's not consistently in the rotation). And, from Hardy's POV, don't you think he'd want to be in a situation where he can play...in a contract year?
If you wouldn't use him in that, specific deal, I get you. It seems there's a wide variety of what to expect around here in terms of what Grimes might cost. If you're right on that, I don't expect it will take more than a 2nd to dump the other half of Hardaway's salary. I hope that's what it ends up being, for sure.
