    • Isaac Harris: Host's season win #3: find out which young role players are long-term pieces. He names Max Christie, Zaccharie Risacher, Marcus Sasser, de Sergio de Larrea, Walter Clayton, Jett Howard and Moussa Cisse. at 4:52
    • Isaac Harris: Against Houston, PJ Washington, Max Christie, Zaccharie Risacher and Naji Marshall combined to shoot 5 of 23 from three. at 12:37
    • Isaac Harris: The host thought Daniel Gafford and Max Christie both struggled all around. at 22:06
    • Isaac Harris: Host's matchup guess for Indiana: Max Christie probably stays on Haliburton, PJ guards Siakam, and Gafford takes "Zubats". at 28:45

    • Opening-night starters were Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford, P.J. Washington and Max Christie. Risacher did not start. at 1:26
    • The host thinks Christie is currently a better shooter than Zaccharie Risacher. He says Risacher has not proven his shooting, including in preseason. at 4:02

    • Nick Angstadt: Max Christie did not get an extension. at 13:13
    • Nick Angstadt: Christie was limited in practice on Saturday with a sore foot; the host calls it something to monitor. at 13:16
    • Max Christie (reported): At media day, Christie told the host and Isaac that his representative and the Mavericks had held extension talks. at 13:25
    • Nick Angstadt: Christie makes about $8.2 million this year and has an $8.8 million player option next year, which he can decline to become a free agent. at 13:56
    • Nick Angstadt: The host finds it hard to imagine Christie earning more than Naji Marshall's new deal of 18, 17 and 16 over three years, and isn't sure he'd get more than PJ's 21, 22 and 24. at 14:30
    • Nick Angstadt: The host says the Mavs have only five ball handlers and a big need for a guard and ball handler. He wouldn't use Max as a ball handler, though the team has talked about it a little. at 17:31

    “The Mavs Made 1 Historic Move But This Dereck Lively II Decision Says More” · listen ↗

  • Podcast Locked On Mavericks · 7 points ·
    • Max Christie sat out this game, which the hosts attribute to rest. Santi Aldama and Dereck Lively are both still out. at 11:16
    • Projected rotation from the dress rehearsal: Flagg, Irving, P.J. Washington, Gafford and Risacher, then Christie (rested), Naji Marshall, Morez Johnson Jr., de Larrea, and probably Sasser. at 14:30
    • The hosts say Risacher has started every preseason game. They don't think starting Christie instead would change the defensive picture much. at 18:34
    • The hosts see defense as a serious problem: the team has no point-of-attack defender, and they reject the idea that Max Christie is one, calling him solid at best. at 15:08
    • P.J. Washington, Max Christie, Daniel Gafford (media day) (quoted): At media day, P.J. Washington admitted defense was hard last season and that he didn't play his best. The hosts say Washington, Christie and Gafford all described last season draining their defensive effort. at 17:08
    • Open question: is Caleb Martin in the rotation? He has played real (not garbage-time) preseason minutes, the most off the bench apart from de Larrea. If he plays, Sasser would probably drop down the order, though Martin is also the likeliest player to lose minutes once Christie returns. at 18:52
    • Hosts see defense as a serious problem. The team has no point-of-attack defense, Christie is not a real point-of-attack stopper, and a Gafford–Irving pairing next to Washington, Flagg and Risacher gives only okay-to-good defenders. at 15:12
