It’s really just the injury prone thing for me. They are piling up, and he is not quite the defender he used to be. That might have something to do with the injuries, too, but that is just a part of pro sports. Everyone always complains about his shooting, but that’s just a matter of rhythm. I knew he wasn’t going to shoot well coming off of this latest injury. He was never a good enough shooter to just roll back off the DL and pick up where he left off. What really sucks is that he’s not making those game-changing defensive plays the way he used to.

Hard to believe Maxi is already going to be 33 next season. His injury history doesn't exactly spark confidence either.

I think a future role of him as a break-in-case-of-emergency as a 3rd string defensive 4 who really only plays once or twice a week is best for him. Keeps his legs fresh and allows him to be more "Maxi" when it matters. This plan to maximize Maxi ishould be called "Project Maximus" to make a bad pun.

I'm not so ready as others to move on from him though. I thought he made some crazy plays against the Clippers that were game changing. He unfortunately got hurt. 

THJ/Green are too high in the rotation and salary to be putting up performances they've been putting up this entire playoff run. Green has only broken past 10 points twice this entire playoffs and outside of a few moments, he's been largely mostly whatever on defense. THJ is well...yeah... he had 1 moment this entire playoff run against OKC. Overall THJ is averaging like 4 points a game. He is WASHED.
