Mad Max’ takes a beating from Yahoo! columnist

Justin Phan wrote: Jason Maxiell is averaging 3.9 rebounds in seven starts this season (25 MPG). As a power forward. That puts him 61st in rebound rate amongst 69 qualified power forwards. Why in the world is he still starting over Austin Daye? I get that there’s an occasional size mismatch that calls for a bigger 4, but Maxiell cannot play offense OR defense. And last time I checked there is no such thing as special teams in the NBA. Oh John Kuester, I hate so much about the things you choose to be.

Max is making a TON of money too.

Oh well, he got paid. Good for him. It's not his fault the NBA is all screwed up with guaranteed money, otherwise he'd be cut.

He was lean and mean till he got the big contract. Now he looks like the person that ate Jason Maxiell. He plays with no enthusiasm now and could probably revive his career with a team change, he is untradable with that contract though. He would be perfect on the Heat where they need a player to play D, rebound and catch alley oops.
