Of the many complimentary adjectives Mavericks players and coaches have uttered about rookie Jaden Hardy this season, the most unusual — and illuminating —...
. Walker’s veteran minimum contract would have become fully guaranteed on Saturday.
Kidd didn’t mention this part, but opening the roster spot also gives Dallas the ability to take back an extra player should it make a deal before the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline. For Hardy, it was validation that the extra time he’s been putting in before and after practices is paying off. “He’s coming into a system, similar to me, with older guys, but everybody’s working with him,” said third-year guard Josh Green, who hopes to return from his four-week injury absence during next week’s road trip.
Such reminders might not be necessary. Hardy is not a hesitant shooter, but he’s still a largely unpolished gem.
