The problem is we rely on him too much Which means we can’t rely on him to play 25 mpg off the bench, you’re making my point for me. Also, during the 3 games his back wasn’t hurt, he defended Kawhi excellently, problem is we played him 13 times in the playoffs.
If we could actually rely on him? He’s as good as DFS.

He pretty much looked cashed to me for the second half of the year. Rallied in the playoffs, but generally, it’s not getting better at his age. I would have passed, but he has a nice salary number to put into a trade next off-season, so the jury is out until then. Probably better than just losing the asset.

If we could rely on him like DFS, he’s every bit as good on the court. Just can’t rely on him to be on the court as much as DFS.

If you have to use the MBT as evidence to prove your point...

10/13ths the salary for almost 1/2 the minutes played!

Also, there’s no way this is how the Mavs are gonna play it out, so what’s the point in discussing it? They’ll play him 25ish mpg until he gets injured. He’ll probably have some preventative rest games here and there, but they’ll continue doing what they have been doing with him, this extension says that.

Good signing. He is the key in any rotation. With Wood he brings defense. With McGee he spaces the floor. With small ball lineups he spaces the floor for Luka to post up. Solid nba player, and I never thought that would be the case when he was first signed.

Two way player. Can play 3 positions. Can defend the rim. Hits free throws too. This deal is a steal.

This is a thread that deserves watching so giving it a bump. I’m one of only three who were less than enthusiastic about the deal. I just don’t think Maxi’s body has $33 million worth of basketball left to give. He got way too many minutes tonight.

Maxi is a role player, role players aren't expected to be good all the time.
THJ isn't paid like a role player though, but he is bad most of the time.

Maxi just looked lost out there which is understandable with all the new faces. Weird that people are freaking out about him when there are much easier fingers to point.
