With his no-trade clause, if Melo comes to Dallas it's because he WANTS to be here (I don't see an Odom/Rondo situation in that case)....... If he WANTS to be here, it's because he has a willingness to be coached-up by Rick Carlisle (because, really, why else would he WANT to be here?)....... If he can be coached-up by Carlisle, then the sky's the limit.

Parsons is probably going to opt out this summer, whereas Melo is under contract through the next two seasons (with a fat player option for the third)....... Two or three seasons is probably all Dirk has left in the tank....... Melo would instantly be the #1 option on offense....... His superstar status would draw FAs to Dallas over the next two summers while the cap spikes.

To my eyes, trading Chandler Parsons for Carmelo Anthony is exactly the kind of move this FO is looking to make....... Don't think for a moment that guys like Powell or Anderson are going to hinder that goal.
