The Nuggets got rid of Michael Porter Jr. and still might’ve found a way to increase their league-worst 3-point volume anyway.
Free agent guard Tim Hardaway Jr. has agreed to a one-year veteran minimum contract with Denver, a league source told The Denver Post on Tuesday. Hardaway, 33, is the team’s second acquisition of free agency, joining Bruce Brown.
Hardaway shot 36.8% from 3-point range last season on six attempts per game, while averaging 28 minutes for the Detroit Pistons. He has also played for Dallas, New York and Atlanta over the course of a 12-year NBA career.
He’ll join Cam Johnson among the Nuggets’ new floor-spacing ranks next season as they attempt to ease the burden on Nikola Jokic in the post. For two consecutive years since winning their first NBA championship, they have attempted the fewest 3-pointers in the league, and defenses have responded to their personnel by shrinking the paint against Jokic more frequently.
Denver obtained Johnson on Monday night in a trade that sent Porter, the team’s best volume shooter of yesteryear, to Brooklyn.
Hardaway’s father briefly played for the Nuggets in 2002, appearing in 14 games near the end of his Hall of Fame career.
