"This is Jason Maxiell's second season as player rep. He shared the duties last season with Arron Afflalo. 'Myself not being very outspoken, but I will sit there and listen and understand what's going on,' Maxiell said. 'It's a great opportunity to understand ... not just what's going on the court, but behind closed doors.' Despite speculation of a lockout if an agreement isn't reached before the 2011-12 season, Maxiell chooses to remain confident as the sides appear to be far apart. 'That may be the way it is now, but toward the end, we'll be on the same page,' he said." (via True Hoop)
