1. I view Chriss as a Nico/Kidd decision. The summer signings not so much. Burke not at all.
2. Chriss has the potential to be what I view as a much rarer quantity—another Maxi (or Maxi light). None of the other guys qualify as hard-to-find types. Defend the rim, switch screens, and stretch the floor. If he can do even 2 of the 3 there’s a spot for him here. And there’s a chance he can become average at all 3, given time, which would make him valuable.
3. I fear Burke burned bridges with his no-inoculation stance. My view on that stuff = whatever. But I don’t think my view is the NBA norm.
Chriss is a spare who probably won't be on any NBA team to start next season
