But this is certainly a deal I could see Cuban making even if it would set us back a half decade or longer.

Not a criticism of either of you two in particular, but the week before the trade deadline is peak "I want to trade for a superstar but without giving up any of our valuable assets" time.

If we want to acquire a player the caliber of Carmelo Anthony, it's going to cost Powell or Anderson.. hopefully not both. It just is.

Yes, he's a lot better than Parsons when healthy, which neither guy has had much luck with over the past couple of seasons. My biggest concern would be whether Melo's long-term health prospects look good after season-ending knee surgery a year ago and some recurring issues this season. If our training staff looked him over and gave the OK, I would sign off on this trade today.

I would see if we could get NYK to include Kyle O'Quinn as well...
