This brings up a sort of interesting thing to consider. During the offseason many including myself considered Dallas a natural target for a trade for a big. They opted in for WCS 4 million in salary and ended up eventually letting him go in season. They signed Marquis Chriss and months later Moses Brown was waived. Those 3 guys sort of cover most of the spectrum of guys to sign to cheap contracts. Veteran guy in WCS, Younger vet that's not exactly proven but has experience and some upside to be worthwhile and then the young raw guy with the highest upside in Moses Brown. There can be benefits to going any of these routes. I've seen times where the vet that's kinda meh turns into a really solid player for a team when before he was signed he was on the fringes of the league. I just hope the Wolves add someone in a few days even if it's the vet route.

Is there anyone that wants to give a breakdown of Maxey's game this season?

Not only did he look really good last night, monster, he's been very good all year...much improved over last year, and playing at a higher level than he did at Kentucky. A 29% 3-point shooter in college is making 39.5 % of his threes this season. And he's going to get a lot more open looks now with Harden on the team. He protects the ball much better than I would have anticipated watching him in college- only 1.2 TOs per game. I thought his erratic play was going to force Morey to deal Simmons for less than he wanted, but I was way wrong on that because Maxey has been terrific.
