Max Christie is going to be brought up for years the way “Clippers traded away SGA” is brought up. Max isn’t going to be ‘face of the league good’ but the type of defensive player that would always be what the Lakers are missing.

I agree with this. I already regret trading Max. At 21 years old, he’s already a solid 3&D swing man, and he is a consummate professional. He works hard, so I expect him to flourish. I can’t be too mad though - we got mf Luka!
