Yeah 11 ain?t bad. It sounds like a lot but it?s the MLE. A few years ago thr MLE was 5.8 and 7 and no one would complain about that. It?s the same cap %

Sure he?s been mediocre from time to time but he?s also dominated defensively and his shooting single handedly turned the Utah series. He made Gobert his bitch by extending the spacing out to the three and dragging Gobert out to where he was uncomfortable which allowed us to win both the defense and rebounding battle.

People talk about Brunson, but without Kleber we lose in the first round and the MLE is never a bad pay for a guy who can change the outcome of a series

Yeah I?m fine with Maxi?s occasional ups and downs. It?s so hard to replace his skill set. I hope that we can limit his minutes somewhat this regular season with Wood and McGee on board and Green improving.
