Incredibly disappointing if the Mavs wanted to sign Hardy to a 4 year deal. You would think they could have negotiated using the player option to get that extra money.
edit- let me add that it appears he is not 100% solid of the above, but it appears his sources have confirmed some of this. We will see.
Weird (and bad) reporting about a 4-year deal, that
1 isn't even possible for them to shoot for, and
2 they certainly wouldn't want if it was, in light of what just happened with Brunson
