Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in Lively and OMax for not stepping up.
Both look to have incredible potential but for some reason they just aren't taking their games to the next level respectively.

Lively is just too injury prone and OMax seems to be going down the same path as Green in terms of development.
Lively will always be an impact to some degree, but my hopes for OMax was to develop similar as DFS and at least make the rotation this year.
I still blame Kidd for some of that lack of development though because OMax doesn't seem to get enough of an opportunity to play through his mistakes.

I've never been a believer in Omax, but I definitely want him to succeed. I just don't see him ever being a rotation piece. I am definitely ok with trading him if he still has value around the league. Unfortunately, I feel like Omax is one of Nico's rare misses. He has a high motor and great length. He should be much further along than he is.
