Tim Hardaway Jr. and the New York Knicks have agreed to a four-year, $71 million offer sheet, according to The Vertical’s Shams Charania. The deal includes a player option in the fourth year as well as a 15 percent salary increase if traded.
Since Hardaway is a restricted free agent, the Hawks now have two days to decide whether they want to match his offer sheet and keep him in Atlanta. If they decline to do so, only then will Hardaway join the Knicks officially.
Hardaway broke out with Atlanta last season, averaging career highs in points (14.5), field goal shooting (45.5 percent), minutes (27.3), assists (2.3) and three-pointers (1.9). It was a promising development for the 25-year-old, who only played 51 games last year. Read more at SB Nation.
