Perry: It def is. Have you guys traded any major pieces recently?

Mills: we traded Tyson in 2014

Perry: What did you get in the Tyson deal?

Mills: Calderon, Dalembert, Ellington, Larkin and 2 2nds.

Perry: Well a true least you got to dump Tyson's terrible contract.

Mills: no he was expiring. We actually took on more longer term money.

Perry: was he terrible and couldn't mesh with Melo?

Mills: no, he was pretty much the only good player we had other than Melo. He covered up for him a lot. Perfect fit actually.

Perry: Well at least you got guys via the draft who could be a part of your rebuild.

Mills: both selections are gone. Nobody from that deal even made the team last season.

Perry: Well, you got the best deal you could I guess. At least you didn't pass on anything good and DAL was probably hell bent on keeping their pick for the 2015 draft.

Mills: we passed on Crowder and they traded their first during the season for Rondo.

Perry: ummmm, I'll call you back.

Melo haters lost.

Yup. It's all about the 30K points. He was never waiving the NTC. Damage control in full effect here.

I swear to God what do we gain by keeping him? This has to be leverage.

So training camp has started already with Melo and THJr reporting....still months away.

He'll opt out next year. More points to be had in a dantoni system or he could go with Lebron and do what they meant to do so long ago.

It's better than making a deal just to make a deal. I get the frustration but if we were receiving proposals that sucked, better to keep him and possibly move him later in summer or during the year.
