I thought people were way too harsh on that trade on Mavs message boards. It didn't work out and I guess that is all that matters at the end. My biggest issue is if Dallas did not due the legwork beforehand to know about Reddick's injury.
We didn't see much of Reddick to see if he would have really helped this team, but I would think the odds were decent he could have been a productive player in some playoff situations. Although the Clippers would have been a challenging matchup for him as well.
I liked what I saw from Melli as well. Not as an every game rotation piece, but teams need guys on your deep bench who when they have their number called can give a good 5-6 minutes. Melli is a smart player and I liked how he played. He just needs to shoot better. I think if he shot better, he could make a case to be a solid rotation player. He is probably not back next year, but he has some moments where I liked what I saw.
