    Always pleasant to see someone give a crap on defense. They will love him on the Bulls.

    I'd rather start Max than Troy. He already is as good as Troy and needs the minutes to continue to develop.

    Kind of agree with you TIME. Brown is bench material. Christie at least has upside right now and I've been impressed with how well he's played.

    Yeah, I don't think his conditioning can hold up and it'll burn him out too quickly.

    Do we remember when AR lost his legs by the midpoint of last season?

    I'm not a huge fan but he's got good height, good athleticism, confident shot that doesn't go in as much as one would like.
    In other words why is in South Bay instead of getting Bev and Nunn minutes?

    Too many damn small guards who are not good.

    I want to see Reaves and Christie getting considerable minutes together. They would help us more than Beverly/Schroder and be building for the future at the same time. I'm all for trades and trying to get better but I am also for using and developing the talent we have. Reaves/Christie help us defensively and would help with the offensive consistently going through AD. These two have a lot of upside and will be around a long time.

    teams like memphis and NO win games while playing young guys. i see no reason why christie couldn't play more ahead of bevs in particular. but politics. just gotta re-home bevs.

    i said i wasn't worried about his shot coming around, and it looks like it's already getting there. a couple of those were coming off screens, too.

    he could be a reaves-level find, with a higher ceiling.

    I like Christie and prefer that he not go out in any trade.
