Basically proof the front office knew Ham was a garbage coach lmao
LFG
Let’s gooo
8 million a year for Christie is very solid
Wonderful news – reasonable contract. Glad he stays.
8M a year is that using the MLE? Or just early bird rights?
What’s this mean for cap space? Happy to have Max back though
HES BACK
Oh yes. 🙌🏾
Let’s goooooooo!
great sign that he gets more playing time too
Mind boggling that he had to watch Cam Reddish eat up his time while he rotted away riding the bench.
They learned from Caruso. $8M is a steal. This guy is still very young and has shown great 3&D potential. He better get minutes he deserves this season
Fuck yes. I think a lot of you guys are underrating Max. We have a 3&D rotation player sitting right here that will actually get minutes next year not playing under Darvin Scam.
How does this impact Bron discount + MLE?
awesome. He’s the type of young player you lose and instantly regret. Dude is only 21 and showed flashes of exactly what you want from the position
Good, a decent offer before playing with the idea of other teams outbidding us. If prince walks, this young man has a role with his name on it
Trade incoming IMO
Amazing long term contract. Keep cooking Rob
W
fuck ya, let’s actually play him now
Damn that’s more than I was expecting. I figured they’d do 5 or 6 million
Pockets played Reddish over him. I hate him
That’s already a big W for the off-szn
Steal of a contract, he’s already a rotation level player. In 2 years he’s probably a starter, and for 8 mill that’s ridiculous value
Looks like an over pay to start but I think he will way outplay his contract. I have seen enough flashes to think he will be really solid imo
Glad to take care of this right away, I think in a couple years 8m will be really good value. Now we need to open up some roster spots
We gotta let reddish and maybe Lewis and hayes go next. Via trade, try and get back a rotation worthy centre
Hell yeah! Great contract too. I was a little scared we were about to pull another Caruso moment.
8 million a year with a player option is pretty good value for a young 3 and d guy. He probably got good offers other places as reported but actually wants to be in LA. Probably helps that his brother is town now too, but we definitely couldn’t lose a wing we’ve been developing.
