We keep treating him like a real asset in trade scenarios but it's much more likely that we use him (or Dinwiddie or Bertans) in a move where we attached assets so someone else will simply agree to take on the rest of the deal.
1) I don't think they'll even try to do this. I think they might want to include Hardaway in a trade they think makes them better, but I don't agree that they'll just want to be rid of him enough to pay an asset to accomplish it.
2) If they do want this, #26 is literally the only "asset" they could possibly attach to accomplish such a goal. You're talking about 3 years of guaranteed money leaving your books with nothing coming back. I'm honestly not sure #26 is enough to get that done.
I think that would be awful, personally. That's literally the kind of thing I'd be trying to avoid. I assume your thinking here starts with skepticism that Cuban will even pay the tax for this one season?
