Christie is predominantly a spot-up shooter and finished possessions in isolation on 1.1 percent of his possessions for the Lakers, per Synergy, and is now up to 12.5 percent for the Mavericks. So they are allowing him to play with the ball in his hands more often and it has led to success.

Christie, traded along with 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis in the shocking deal that brought Luka Doncic to the Lakers, says he has no bad feelings toward the organization.

The former second-round draft pick of the Lakers was back at Crypto.com Arena working out before a game, which happened to be against his former team.
