With all due respect (and you deserve a lot), OMax wasn't a miss as seen with his play this year. They just didn't develop him correctly, which is on Kidd, not the front office. The miss was dumping him instead of Exum, but even I would have done that at the time.

I'm glad OMax has found a home, but I'll push back and say he had his chances to step up in DAL. Last season's no-Luka, no-AD, no-Lively, no-Gafford train wreck was a perfect time to try and show off. He had a few moments of promise, but couldn't sustain it consistently, then his wrist injury ended any opportunity to break through. So he ended up as expendable as a stretch waive to make room for re-signing Exum. AFAIK, he's still on a 2-way with MEM.

But it does appear a light has come on regarding his productivity.
