I understand that Maxi is an OK defender (i.e. he understands rotations and makes an effort), but he is scared as f*ck to shoot and has lost a step. He is not an NBA rotation player right now.
Nico has to be looking at packaging some combination of Green, THJ, Maxi, and picks for an upgrade.

Holmes was actually playing well. We were playing solid as a team when he was on the floor. I'm convinced hes more valuable than Maxi and DP.
Omax could have been useful as a bigger wing to defend Siakam, OG and Barnes. They fn abused us in every fashion.
