Thanks for the response.

The above part is where I am personally not feeling very clear. I don't think MK has been a MLE level player this year. He is so up and down and inconsistent. Sometimes he is an All-NBA level defender....sometimes a liability. Sometimes he is a floor spacer....sometimes his man never guards him and things get clogged up. 

Keeping him and his salary MIGHT be the smart thing to do. But me personally? I don't think he is a $9M player.

When has Maxi ever been a liability defensively?  He has been our best defender all year, and after the trade the only guy that can protect the rim.  He is in a bad slump right now offensively, but that defense is not easy to replace.  Seems crazy to me that you seem happy to spend 17 mil on Bertans, but are questioning paying Maxi 9 mil.
