Not expecting much out of Melli, but hoping that he could provide a useful 5-10 minutes as a 4/5 who could actually shoot 3s .. since Powell, WCS and even small ball DFS cant ..... just to limit Maxi's minutes a little. I think it's easy to forget that Maxi is already nearly 30 years old and his contributions inordinately depends on expending maximum energy on defense. I like Maxi a lot when he's within that 25-28 minute range, particularly if he's going to be in the crunch time minutes, but not so much when he's creeping into that 34+ minute range like he has been too often this year.
Because he wouldn't be that hard to resign (which as you said, Boston is going to) when you have his bird rights. Two 2nds doesn't seem that much to me if you think you have a shot at locking up a player before he hits market, but seems like other teams weren't that interested in trading for him and then paying him market premium money. Maybe there is a reason for that?
