Christie plays the sixth man next season

Although the Mavericks still lack point guards, Russell will play as the starter. It is estimated that this is one of the conditions for going to the Mavericks. After all, he has only signed a two-year contract of 13 million, so Christie probably still has to play as a substitute.

Mavericks Joey Mistretta recently posted a message saying, "Christy will not enter the team's starting lineup next season. Russell and Flag will likely occupy two places, including Davis, Clay, Lefley or Gafford, so there is no Christie's position at all. His position in the team next season is likely to be the sixth man, and his contribution may become his core competitiveness, and he may even have the opportunity to compete for the NBA's best sixth man of the year award."

" However, we also need to compete, because There is also PJ Washington in the team, and it may also become this role. If he plays as a starting player, then Clay may have to play the sixth man. "

Christie came to the Mavericks as a top player in the deal between Davis and Doncic last season. She performed very well at the beginning, and performed well on both offense and defense. At that time, many fans also said that the Lakers missed another good 3D in the future, but after a while, they started to struggle again, and in general, they were still unstable.

played 32 games with the Mavericks last season, averaging 11.2 points, shooting percentage of 41% from the field and 36.4% from the three-point shooting percentage. The Mavericks still gave Christie a lot of opportunities. At the end of the season, there were too many injuries on the back line and they also played for a period of starting, but it was obvious that he played quite average in point guard.

Some fans joked: "Get cut your hair! It's time to lift the seal, and it's time to take over the body for so long. The body has slowly adapted to it. It's time to return."

This must be a Cormis. Christie is famous for her appearance resembles Kobe. She was once a non-sale product for the Lakers. When she gave him a four-year, 32 million contract in the offseason last season, many fans thought it was not worth it, and said that half of it was given a look. But I didn't expect to be traded directly in the middle of the season. It was estimated that Jenny Buss had already decided to sell the team at that time, otherwise he would probably not be willing to trade him.

Let's continue to talk about the Mavericks. Many people are not optimistic about the Mavericks next season, because Irving is indeed going to miss most of the season, and with just selected No. 1 pick Flag, he also needs to give him time to grow. His performance in the first season will definitely not be particularly good. Although the lineup is now neat, there are hidden dangers of injury, especially the health of Thick Eyebrow. If he suffers any major injuries, the Mavericks will probably aim directly to cultivate Flag. Because the competition in the West is really too big now, it is really difficult to enter the top six playoffs.

Look at the Mavericks' lineup:

Starting lineup:

Irving + Clay + Flagg + Davis + Leifley

Subs:

Russell, Exam, Christie, Hardy, Williams, Washington, Marshall, Gafford, Powell, Kay Jones

The Mavericks have the top inside line in the league and have good rotation depth on the outside line. Russell and Thompson can provide enough space for Davis, and Washington and Exam are also very good defensive players.

is also a lineup that combines offense and defense. I feel that my strength on paper is still very good, it depends on which level I can reach in the West next season.
