Remember when Thunder fans thought that Maynor was going to be a key contributor to their championship squad? Those were the days. Then he got injured, and Reggie Jackson came along, and all of a sudden he wasn’t playing at all.
But now he’s been traded to the Trailblazers, who desperately need a competent back-up guard. Lillard’s going to die if he has to keep playing ridiculous minutes. So Maynor is getting a chance to prove himself again, and, who knows, maybe he’ll be good. 13 points and 4 assists is pretty good. My optimism is raging unchecked.
