He's 24 was drafted by the Kings, traded to the Suns, then traded to the Rockets, then traded to the Cavs, waived, then signed a 2 way with the Dubs, waived, then brought back, then traded to the Spurs, waived, then signed 2 ten day deals with the Mavs before signing a 2 year deal. How is he going to develop after all that? Maybe the Mavs try to. He's a NBA gypsy at 24 yrs old. And why is Maxi's name mentioned?
We were discussing the need to find “another Maxi,” and I was saying Chriss has a chance to develop into one. That’s why Maxi’s name is mentioned.
At Chriss’s age, Maxi hadn’t yet made an NBA squad.
I know trusting the ole Mavs’ Brain Trust is a relic of Fish’s board and far out of fashion these days. But I always thought they were onto something in saying centers develop more slowly and don’t usually come into their own till around age 30. Chriss’s talent and contract are serious pluses for him. We’ve all seen flashes on the court. I’d try hard to keep him around another 2-3 years, as long as he’s working at it. Could very well be a pot of gold at the end of his rainbow.
