MAVS NEWS:

[Knutsen]

As for HARDY, the Mavs don't have a deadline right now to do a deal. And they do have RFA rights on him next summer. It's hard to know if he can take that next step to playing with others, and feeding them too, rather than using possessions to get his own shots, but answering that question is key to any offer (or to none at all, and just letting it play out). This preseason he is still barely breaking 40% on shooting pct overall, with high turnovers and iffy defense.

So the Mavs did resign Hardy for 3 years and 18 million. 

I think that deal is kind of okay - I was on your side that he didn’t prove he could play a real role on this specific team next to Luka and Kyrie yet, but I like the number much more than the crazy amounts proposed a couple posts earlier from other users.
