Mills and Perry should be facing the unemployment line, if not a firing squad.

I do hope Ntilikina can get out of NYC. Fizdale is an idiot without a clue about how to manage a roster, let alone strategize. He's an overhyped developmental coach neck-deep in sewage, in a situation he doesn't understand. Marc Gasol was totally right about Fizdale in Memphis--he is not head coaching material, and is incapable of leading a roster to contention.

If Frank can’t even get min I’m not sure NYK would worry about him improving Dallas since they clearly don’t think highly enough of him to give him minutes, but as you said Dallas has no assets they could want unless we somehow swing a 3 way trade. I’m not even sure Dallas has interest in him though especially with Wright on the roster.
