Hopefully he is good. Were going to really need him next year because I doubt we resign Hardy.

While this may end up being true I think it might be a tad early to close the door on Hardy.  I personally think people are still overreacting to the episode last month.  I don't think a "cap challenged" team franchises a guy for a 13 million dollar lease with the expectation to simply let him walk at the end of the season. 

 

Just my opinion

dude has a funny look on his face.

I probably had a similar look when I signed my first "real money contract" & it was most likely just a small fraction of the one he's signing. Pretty sure I was thinking "Heh, Baitin..."

4 years $3,546,829 FYI

But again there is very little negotiation room now with the CBA right? The salaries are basically formulaic. And i don't think rookies have the ability or incentive to hold out anymore.

Maybe his stock price drops just a little.....but my main concern now making sure his head is in the right place given the circumstances.

 

Retaining both Hardy and CJ will be tough unless one is willing to take a pay cut. If he pans out it may save a ton of money
