With the Mavs scrambling to find a replacement for Lyles, I know have doubts they have any inside track on a buyout guy. FYI, I am not sure Lyles wouldn't helped with our need either. So Melli wasn't a target, he apparently was just a fill in. BTW, are the Mavs the worst team finalizing trades? I know this one may not have been their fault, but still.
Mavs can't expect for a deep playoff run with this front court, especially at PF imo. They are one injury or foul trouble where things can get messy real quick. Rick would need to work his magic. Maybe Powell continues strong play of the last few games, but this team is really thin with a bunch of backup specialists. Free Boban! Heck give him 10 minutes a night and see what happens.
edit: Maybe I am discounting Melli. Pelican fans seem to think he stinks. And his numbers back this up. He looked to be a good international player. But is probably not someone who is better than we already have. And we need someone better than what we already have.
