Hardaway Jr. Fills Miami's Three-Point Void | Miami Heat News

Miami Heat pull off a savvy move by signing Tim Hardaway Jr. to fill their glaring need for a reliable, high-volume three-point shooter. With key shooters Tyler Herro and Norman Powell gone, Hardaway’s ability to space the floor and hit over 40% from deep—like he did last season—could be pivotal. Coach Spoelstra and the team will need to create open looks for him, likely by using Bam Adebayo and Giannis to draw defenders, while also ensuring he’s not just shooting off the dribble. Signed for $6M on a one-year deal, Hardaway finished third in Sixth Man of the Year voting and is expected to see more minutes and play a crucial role in key moments. While not a defensive stopper or playmaker, his scoring punch is exactly what Miami needed—despite the emotional rollercoaster fans can expect. Pat Riley and the front office deserve credit for this strategic, if imperfect, fit. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
