Would argue that he has shown less than Hardy. I guess that gives us an idea what to expect when it comes to Hardy's next deal.

4/38 would be good value for Hardy. Especially if he can take the next step.

The grass may be greener on the other side... but I think I'd rather have Christie because he seems like a genuine 2-way wing. If the Mavs didn't have Luka, I'd probably value Hardy more though. Either way though, Hardy needs to improve his 2-way play to be considered a meaningful player in any team's rotation.
