According to Éric Lablanc of RDS, Hardaway had started working on a contract extension with Montreal prior to his passing. His death has put those negotiations on hold while Muamba finds a new agent.

In addition to his work as a sports agent, Hardaway was also an attorney who had law offices in New York and Washington, D.C.
