You know, I think one of the things you heard immediately after they made the Luka trade and got back AD, Max Christie was like, they got too many guards, you know, and they're probably going to make another move for the deadline. And that's what they ended up doing. Trading Quentin Grimes, who's going to be a restricted free agent this summer and getting back Caleb Barton.
You know, I think Max Christie being brought in here and Dante Exum getting healthy, kind of set the stage for that Quentin Grimes trade. But yeah, Max Christie's a really nice player. And I mean, not even 22 years old yet.

I think you're getting at one of the most important questions or concerns with this trade. You know, moving on from Luca puts an enormous creation load on Kyrie Irving, who's going to turn 33 years old in March. He's been honest that he's dealing with a bulging disc in his back. I mean, he's really... The drop-off between Kyrie and the Mavericks' next best guard creator is massive now.

Jason Kidd likened Luka Dutchess and Kyrie Irving to quarterbacks. The Mavericks had this two-quarterback offense. Well, the difference between QB1 and QB2 now is enormous. And I think that's got to be scary and a little bit of concern for the Mavericks. And I think when you look ahead to the playoffs, it's like... Okay, let's say they play the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round.

I mean, it's 48 minutes of Lou Dort, Alex Caruso, Jason Wallace, on Kyrie Irving, who's 6'1", 180 pounds, if we're being real about it. I mean, that's a huge ask for him. You know, like... I think there's going to be a lot of comparisons between this Mavericks team and the 2019-20 Lakers. They played two bigs. I mean, Kyrie is really in that LeBron creator role.

It was LeBron plus guys who could really defend on the perimeter plus those two bigs. Kyrie is the LeBron on this team, and how's that going to go?
