MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[KillerLeft]

I will say what I said previously though.  Nico made a colossal mistake at the trade deadline if Lively and Gafford can't or don't play near 40 minutes a night total.  This team made a pretty big decision on how they would like to play.   I am fine with Maxi at some closing lineups, but I hope the team doesn't fall in love with it.  Lets also remember Maxi really can't handle long minutes either...per past experience.   

Kleber is absolutely the best option to close games, imo. 

I agree with your statement about Nico’s mistake at the deadline if they don’t play, but I’d also say that Kidd is making a huge mistake if he doesn’t go with Kleber most nights. 

This is why I didn’t like that trade, not because I didn’t like Gafford, but because he’s a backup center and they don’t play very much when games matter.
