But he is still a good enough scorer that at 6 mil, I'm not that upset he's on the roster. He just doesn't provide what this team badly needs. When Luka was here, Hardy was a great "nice-to-have" on the bench.

I'm fine with Hardy getting that contract but he hasn't progressed enough, even as a one dimensional scorer.  He often doesn't understand his size and how to effectively use it.  Maybe that would change given more opportunity, but that's hard to get anywhere when you don't maximize the minutes you do get.  I had really high hopes for him so that's probably the kiss of death to his career.
