I agree that Hardaway has resembled the player he was before Carlisle this year.
I agree that he looked better in Carlisle‘s system, partly because he was a fit for that system.
I do not agree that that was the only reason he played well the last couple of seasons. I believe Carlisle and staff helped him improve, also.
While I share your assessment of how he has fit with the team this season, I do not agree that it is a foregone conclusion that he will always look this bad. It is certainly possible, but then again it is also possible that he’ll figure out how to fit in with this kidd system, given enough time.
If they trade him, we will know that they don’t believe he’ll get there. If they don’t, then I think that will tell us a little bit about how they view him. He seems to be playing more minutes than Bullock recently, so that maybe should tell us a little something.
