1st playoffs: wrist issues (apparantly so bad, that he had to skip few months in the offseason) + broken finger on the other hand in the 1st game in the bubble
2nd playoffs: achilles
I get a little heartburn any time I put Maxi in a trade. But, to your point, I tend to remember Peak Maxi. Clearly Peak Maxi is a better defender than someone like Markkanen (though LM is a dramatically better offensive player).
But, LM compared defensively to Recent Maxi? Maybe the drop off isn’t that dramatic.
