Are you satisfied with the offseason (so far)

Part of the reason for Maxi minutes is necessity.  Look at our front court depth, especially after the last two TDL trades.  Two years ago it was Powell/Maxi/Dorian.  Last year it was Powell/Maxi/Wood.  Our lack of front court depth has been our biggest issue (along with lacking defense in general).  This year we are replacing Dorian or Wood with Williams/Holmes/Lively/Omax/DJJ.  That is a massive increase in frontcourt depth.  We can play Maxi 15-20 minutes in the regular season to keep him healthy, and then unleash him for the playoffs.

I agree completely. I’ve said repeatedly the most I want maxi to play in the regular season is 18 minutes. With the depth on the team, as you’ve lined out, hopefully that’s the case. 

I do know that I only want him playing at the 5 though. Plenty of options at the 4 now. Luka, Grant, DJJ, Omax
