Trade & FA 2024-25:

Hardy can't be traded this year.

Gafford makes all the sense in the world for NOP.  I'm sure they'd rather Lively.

Then again, the article states Jones isn't available, so this all academic

Hardy CAN be traded this year, as he was a 2nd round pick, he does not have a training camp extension rule that prevents him from being traded.

I believed he couldn't be traded until FGump pointed it out to me and I had to read the CBA myself. No mention of 2nd round picks being barred from being trade eligible even if they extended during the season.
