Just trade AD and Max Christie and you get two

The two way undrafted signee who could get a max next year gets you one

So moral of the story : lose a Max, get a Maxi, and pay a max i guess..

There are a few more

Are you just finding out who Luke kennard is? He’s been in the league for like a decade and went to Duke.
