Shams: Tim Hardaway Jr. Agrees to 1-yr Deal with the Nuggets 

Post#1 » by Castle Black » Tue Jul 1, 2025 8:44 pm

Denver's new GM is cookin'. Hardaway is still a very serviceable bench piece as a spot-up shooter.

37% 3PT shooter on 5 attempts/per, but that number skyrockets to 63% (!!) on spot-up 3’s. That is elite.

Adds much-needed depth to their bench. Great signing.

I’m shocked Detroit let him go.

Another excellent pickup for Denver. They are turning crap into gold.

Good deal

Hopefully we don't have to hear about lack of depth anymore from Jokians.

Yea shooting was already their biggest offseason need and they just lost at least one, maybe both of their best spot-up shooters in Hardaway Jr. and Beasley. Brutal.

I mean the depth issue was just fixed so…logically you wouldn’t?

You’re in the extreme minority if you think the Nuggets didn’t have depth issues for the last two years.

He's a notorious Jokic hater. He hates on him and Denver nonstop. Ignore him.

Last I watched of him he seemed washed, but if he can give Denver 10-15 mpg without destroying them, they'll take that in a heartbeat.

THJ will be very solid in his minutes with Jokic creating for him. He just needs to catch and shoot. Same goes for Bruce Brown. Both those guys will defend and make open shots will be really good for Denver compared to Westbrook.

And suddenly we have depth... What a great two days! I wonder if they will be looking to get another Point Guard with the last roster spot. I still wouldn't mind having Russ back, especially now that we added some shooting to space the floor.

DEN is having a fantastic offseason given their limitations.

I think you bring Russ back and call if a offseason -

G - Jamal Murray / Russ Westbrook / Jalen Pickett
G - Christian Braun / Julian Strawther
F - Aaron Gordon / Tim Hardaway JR
F - Cam Johnson / Peyton Watson / Zeke Nnaji / Hunter Tyson
C - Nikola Jokic / Jonas Val / DaRon Holmes

Could use 1 more vet swing guy IMO.

Honestly he just needs to stick to what he does best, and that's hit open spot-up 3's and defend at a serviceable level. It's when he tries to do more than that that he becomes a problem. He won't be asked to do much in Denver besides what he's good at. Should be a good depth piece off the bench or them honestly.

Decent signing, but THJ hasn't been the bucket getter that he used to be in years.

Ben Tenzer has instantly built himself a strong reputation.
