  • Kyrie is the starting guard, but who gets the other guard minutes is open. Sasser is playing well on offense and de Sergio de Larrea had a coming-out game. A host will watch Max Christie vs. de Larrea: Christie is the better defender, while de Larrea has a floater and touch game Christie lacks. at 18:08
  • A host says the Christie number reflects that the team has not yet found what it wants in the starting group, and that the group has not played enough together. He calls it almost no indictment of Christie, though he does not think Christie has played very well. at 21:35
  • A host infers that the staff wants Christie playing with Flagg, since that pairing has the most minutes. at 23:56
  • Rotation so far, with ages as stated: PJ 28, Max 23, Risacher 21, Naji 28, Sasser 26, Gafford 28, Flagg 19, Morez Johnson Jr 20, de Larrea 20, Kyrie 34. Kyrie is the only player over 28. at 28:37

  • 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

  • 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
