The Lakers have extended a $2.3 million qualifying offer to guard Max Christie, making him a restricted free agent.
The Lakers are expected to match any offer he receives and keep the young wing.
The 21-year-old showed flashes of being an impactful 3&D player with athleticism in his first two seasons but didn’t get a crack in the rotation consistently under Darvin Ham.
Under Redick, that would likely change.
Christie appears to be in the Lakers’ plans, and he should be back with the Purple and Gold next season.
