Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

I feel like we’ve had this conversation before. I could be wrong. We just see a different player. I’ve never once thought he was someone capable of running an offense. He’s an off-ball player. CnS guy 100% and a poor shooter at that. I feel like every team has a Jaden Hardy and ours just isn’t that good. I hate being negative about any Mavs players so I’ll leave this one be. I would love nothing more than to be wrong and him have a breakout year!

If I believed that, I'd be praying for them to trade him because he'll never amount to squat. I think you're wrong. 

"Running an offense" isn't a bar these guys have to clear anymore. You can count the guys who do that on one hand. Running a high screen and roll is all he has to be able to do. 

I think Hardy's iso game is THE DRAW, and have thought so since his rookie season. He's literally a poor man's Kyrie to me, on his way to becoming a lower-middle-class man's Kyrie. I suppose we'll see how the Mavs view him soon.
