The Mavericks want to send off the backcourt star, but no team is interested in him?

In order to make room for Dante Exum's signing, the Dallas Mavericks may consider exploring the possibility of Jaden Hardy's deal, according to The Stein Line reporter Jake Fischer.

Subsequently, NBA reporter Ary, who has a very high presence in recent times, updated his social media account and said that the Mavericks' trading guard Jaden Hardy is unlikely to be. Ary said: Another mentioned trading partner in the Mavericks lineup is Hardy, but some sources said he is not expected to be traded by the team this summer. As far as I know, as early as late June this year when the trading window was still relatively active, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison once reiterated one point to Hardy's team that no team had inquired about the defender at that time.

In the NBA regular season last season, Hardy played 57 games in 82 games, averaging 15.9 minutes per game, averaging 8.7 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 43.5%, three-point shooting percentage 38.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 69.8%. Hardy's performance last season was actually very average. He seemed to have certain scoring ability and seemed to be sloppy in offensive efficiency, but the problem is that Hardy's performance in stability is very unsatisfactory. His performance on the court has fluctuated. He may get a lot of points on the court, but he may also make a wild blacksmith on the court. No one knows whether he will have a positive impact on the team or a negative impact on the court. In addition, Hardy lacks basic passing and organizational skills, his ball quotient and game reading ability are very poor, and his progress on the defensive end is also seriously insufficient. Hardy's overall performance has not made a substantial improvement compared to his rookie season, which is also a very worrying thing.

Hardie renewed a three-year contract with the Mavericks before the start of the NBA regular season last season, with a total amount of $18 million. Hardy's salary in the next three seasons will be $6 million, of which part of the 2027-28 season is a team option. Hardy's contract amount is actually not large, and his contract in the new season can be considered an expiring contract. The problem is that with his ability, performance and progress, his contract is obviously seriously insufficient in cost-effectiveness. According to Ary, Hardy has no market conditions, and no team is interested in him. I don’t know how the Mavericks will operate next, and how will they find a way to trade him out?
