when preparation for 2023-24 began. With two years remaining on a four-year, $75 million contract, the veteran sharpshooter currently feels"secure" as a member of the team.
When asked about the possibility of coming off the bench on Media Day, Hardaway sounded unaware of Kidd's comment. However, his focus isn't on whether he's starting or coming off the bench. His focus remains on helping the Mavs to win games after a disappointing 38-44 finish to the 2022-23 season. “We haven’t talked about it,” Kidd explained. “But the rest of the coaching staff has talked to him. Right now, it’s seeing what we need. That’s one of the things for us to talk about, is for him to look at that role and embrace it.”
“A healthy offseason where you can just focus on basketball rather than rehab [was big],” Hardaway said. “Stayed in the gym constantly, the weight room constantly, try my best to get better.
