Max Christie is on the books for $8,285,714 in 2026–27, the 9th largest cap hit on the Dallas Mavericks roster and 4.7% of the team's $177.2M payroll.

That ranks 195th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 5.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $17,142,857 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $8,285,714 in the first year up to $8,857,143 in the last, a 7% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

He is the 9th highest-paid of the 15 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
