Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

I agree with all of this but I would not put Nembhard in the same category as Max.  Max is developing into a quality starter.  I don't think Nembhard has that kind of ceiling.

I don't think it's clear that Nembhard WON'T develop into a quality rotation player, but I also agree that it's way premature to assume he will. He has some skills, but his fans around here are jumping the gun, imo. If he's even the 2nd PG on the roster at the beginning of next season I'll be pretty disappointed. 3rd is about right for him, and he'll still get plenty of time to play/develop with injuries (as we've seen). I think getting him on a real contract would be a good move, but I wouldn't have him penciled into the team's top 9 rotation yet. With Christie, the conversation is more "5th starter, or 7th man?" Totally different.
