Whether Maxi is played as a 4 or 5 he’s gonna cut into one of the rookie’s minutes (my guess is both as he’ll probably play a little bit of both). I’m fine with that for a year as a safety net to make sure the rooks are who we hope they are. Next year might be the year to move off of him to make room though (of course as long as the rooks are ready for the extra minutes). I just want him to stay healthy and help take us to the WCF again so when he is traded, we get great value.
I’m glad Powell’s contract is so much more reasonable now so we don’t have that $10M sitting on the bench at the end of games. Maxi (when healthy) is the right choice for that moment. Now, we’ll have Holmes sitting there with more salary. Oh well, Maxi and GWill (what if we end the season with GWill and OMax finishing games!) are gonna be fun to watch then. I’m starting to consider the time commitment to getting season tickets again.
