MAVS NEWS:

[Winter]

I have been wondering if this is a team directive to Max as well.  I agree the recent results have not been great.  He has taken some real questionable shots that he hadn't for most of the year.  There has been some reports that Kidd has instructed Max to take more shots.  Maybe this is a more deliberate attempt in this lost season.  He has also been creating more (with not great results).  It could be the same thing Kidd did with Flagg.   Max, we know you can do this, but lets try to stretch your game and have you do this type of directive.

If you're trying to make Max uncomfortable in order to expand his abilities, this would be the time to do it.
