I know its sad and stunning news, but this sharpshooter isn't coming back.

It was one hell of a run.

He may have been laying bricks mostly, buy he had more fight in him than most of the roster.

What a scrub he was after about 3 games. That’s all it took for Carlisle to justify giving him minutes over Green though. Won’t miss either of them

Melli did end up shooting 33% from 3, which is better than I thought. Still, not an NBA player and had no future with the Mavs, but got minutes over young players who needed development.

He played hard and I wish him well. But glad he is gone.

The Mavs have been on a roll when it comes to trades... What's their losing streak right now?

Dont think he was totally useless. He was 1 who actually fought hard on the boards. Didnt really get his shooting to where it should be but...

He wont really be missed, but it wasnt he who made the trade and as saud wasnt completly waste of space. Was just meh, and i kinda felt he took minutes bey could have needed to get better, but that is ricks fault. Cant believe a rick team had 4 rookies, was so obvious that none of them were gonna get the playing time to evolve their game. Hope this year all of them are back, get to play summer league, and show coach that they should get minutes

Kp trade - meh, only the picks were the real loss. Obviously the kp contract is an issue and not putting clauses for health issues, but not sure if that can be factored in to the evaluation of the trade

delon wright s&t w/Memphis - loss for sure

jrich/curry trade - loss

delon for jj trade - loss considering we gave up more picks

jj for reddick trade - loss, why was this even done?
