Although, to be honest I sort of hope Max makes a strong run at that spot. Kidd had some nice comments on Max. I am not sure if he is a heavy minute rotation player or a starter moving forward. He does a lot of things well and I think he is a smart player. He just needs to do the things he does well a little bit better. Part of the maturation process. Some breakthrough, others do not.
Regardless (almost) of how much Thompson has left to offer on the floor, I believe he was a stellar acquisition (at the price) for what he brings in the locker room and the added respect he brought to the team. But, even if Thompson has a ton left to give them on the floor they'll need someone like Christie to play effectively and reliably for this to work. A two-way guard who defends hard, has quick feet, can shoot enough to hold a defender and can handle the ball a little is exactly the guy needed, and Christie represents a chance to find that here on the roster.
I agree - in some ways it would be preferable for that guy, hopefully Christie so it can happen soon and without additional trade cost, to outshine Thompson a little.
