Tim Hardaway Jr. is coming off his sixth year playing for the Dallas Mavericks.

The former Michigan star finished the regular season with averages of 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest while shooting 40.2% from the field and 35.3% from the three-point range in 79 games.

He only has one more year left on his contract that will pay him $16.2 million for the 2024-25 season.

Marc Stein of The Stein Line reports that the Mavs will look to move the veteran shooting guard.

Via Stein's Substack article: "League sources say that the Mavericks will promptly resume their long-running search for a trade partner to take Hardaway on, which is more likely than ever to come to fruition with the 32-year-old now entering the final season of his current contract and with his salary declining from $17.9 million in 2023-24 to $16.2 million in 2024-25."
