Posted this in its own thread but the premise is that Hardaway isn't overpaid for how he has been playing.

Tim is far from an Allen Crabbe, Jeremy Lin, Tyler Johnson, Omar Asik type signing. He is producing at a rate where shooting guards get paid at least 17 mil.

I am pretty sure his point is, no other team in the NBA thinks THJR is being paid what he is worth. Listing a bunch of people that may or may not be in the same boat and highlighting ones you don't personally like won't change that. Like I said, I would still trade him at the first opportunity. You don't pay people more than their worth because some other team was stupid enough to do it. By pushing this argument you are asking the Knicks to be stupid. But back to THJR, he is doing what he can to help. His talent and skill level is not very high, he is not a high IQ player by any stretch of imagination and our FO ****ed up overpaying for him. But unlike one dimensional chuckers in our recent past he is NOT being a sulking jerk about it. He comes to play, supports his young teammates, tries to play second within his limitations and clearly wants to win. I will root for him to succeed, he has earned that from me. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

He also was a restricted free agent signing so the Knicks did have to over pay. If you look at the posted link he is in the middle range for pay for shooting guards.CrushAlot wrote:TripleThreat wrote:He is the 13th highest paid at his position. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/contracts/shooting-guard/CrushAlot wrote: If you are going to call out Tim's contract as an over pay for his position you have to cite the other contracts for his position.

Hardaway is not actively on the trading block, so how do we know if they lining up?
