His contract
His FG %
His 3-point shot (42% last year)
He's 6' 8"
He's a starter
He's 25

I guess I'm not exactly sure what you're suggesting. We're going to be trying to unload Hardaway's contract for the next two years. Warren is nearly twice the player at half the cost.

43 games sample size. Over his career he is at 34%. So you have to look at this 42% pretty carefully.

Thats why i think he is like a forward version of THJ. Maybe slightly better shooting but also not providing much more outside scoring like the Otto Porter type

We're not getting Otto Porter, and if we were, Porter's contract is almost 30 million a year and we couldn't afford another player. Warren is one of the best wings available at a cost this team can afford... and still get another good player. He's had 30 point games and 40-point games.

Warren's contract is over 8 million a year dollars cheaper than Hardaway.

TJ at his current salary isn't a bad fall back plan if you can't get what you want in free agency. We are pretty weak on the wing. He's not a 3 and d though which is what we really need. If they are giving him away and we can't get a top tier guy then getting Warren with Bev and with another guy isn't an awful off season. TJ Warren is a lot like Barnes honestly. He's never going to playmake because he has tunnel vision and he did shoot well last year from 3. He rebounds like Barnes and he played a lot of small ball 4 like Barnes(Meaning he can't rebound like at all). I'd just say he's a lesser Barnes in basically every way but on a reasonable contract.
