AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

If Hardy had taken off this season like we expected, I might feel totally differently. Or, at least I'd be more willing to let go of Hardaway for SOMETHING. 

I think Curry could step up a little, but for all the grief Hardaway takes around here about his defense, I believe the drop off to Curry/Hardy on the defensive end would make more of a difference than people recognize. I really do. But, my biggest disagreement is with those who think just giving Hardaway's minutes to Green/Exum would do the trick. I REALLY don't think they'd score enough in that scenario.

Green would not, but I'm not so sure about Exum.  He is looking like the real deal.  He would be more like Dinwiddie than Timmy on offense, but that worked out fairly well a couple of seasons ago.
