We knew what we lost… He is an old soul… The greatest thing about his production, he is in his first year of his 4-year 32 million dollar contract… He is way out performing this contract now, what will it look like in 2 years…
Wonder if any of my fellow older Mavs fans see same flashes of peak Josh Howard that I see. High level defender, good scorer from all 3 levels without needing plays ran for him. Think his ceiling is much higher, depending how his ball handling progresses
He is getting these defensive number on the floor without Ad,lively and then gaff and pj the last few games. Pretty impressive the small ball lineup was.
Your stats are misapplied. Rather that comparing individual stats to league averages, compare individual stats to other similar players. For example, if you're comparing a starter, compare them to other starters. If you're comparing a 6th man, compare them by the number of minutes, etc.
As a Laker fan who watches every game, i cant tell you he definitely wasn't held back? .. it's called playing with 2 hall of famers – Lebron and AD! In LA he was playing very well in his role! We loved Max! Right now he's playing on a team where he will get a lot more touches and has more of a green light with AD out! – but best believe he was playing VERY WELL before he was traded! Max will be great in Dallas! We will miss him.
nah its not a secret for the Lakers fans, and his talent is obvious just by looking at his past games especially as a laker starter, if AD didnt get injured Mavs definitely would have won the trade
the 100+ games he played with bad stats was under Darvin Ham when he's barely given Christie some minutes because his favorites are Prince and Reddish
Max Christie probably was also the reason why they got "less" than what people think they should have gotten for Luka
He was a STARTER for the L.A lakers, he's not a hidden gem, this year under JJ he has been thriving. He has more opportunities to score on mavs but he was playing insanely well on lakers also.
luka n bron the same they dont allow the rest of the team flourish if not thru them. im happy the mavs have a more open flow. thats why those great so called role players play better when they leave teams w players like that.
We have a good mixture . The vets Kyrie , AD and Klay . We have the now defense dawgs PJ , Gafford and Marshall and we have future stars Lively and Max.
Si. Max christie is the face of the mavs franchise for the future. They traded luka cuz they want max that can defend and play offense? Hmmmm. This might be the reason why they didnt take luka over max. AD was just a big piece to solidify the lineup. But they want max with the characteristics that they have been saying while bashing luka.

Lakers best player in AD and their 4th in MC plus a 1st for Dallas best player.

Ideal starting line up when everyone is healthy is .
Ky
Maxi
Pj
Ad
Lively
In my opinion
Darvin Ham held him back. Lakers fans knew he was capable.
He’s a better PJ
18:16 pretty much sums up how much potential this kid really have that was a rock you to sleep boom bro ceiling is super high
He was special already. You only just noticed now

Max Christie is not a hidden gem we already know how good Max is . Why do you think he got signed by the Lakers .
Darvin Ham was fired because he held Christie back .
He was a STARTER for the L.A lakers, he's not a hidden gem, this year under JJ he has been thriving. He has more opportunities to score on mavs but he was playing insanely well on lakers also.
Great Player 🙏

Mavs management may have known what Christie could do more than Mav fans or Laker management
We have a good mixture . The vets Kyrie , AD and Klay . We have the now defense dawgs PJ , Gafford and Marshall and we have future stars Lively and Max.
Kid is more mature than Kobe at that age.
Mavs gm gonna send him back for 2 burritos
No secret everybody knew how valuable he was

Lakers' scouts are the best in the business…
Would lakers trade luka for max ? 😂
