(And yes, I'm aware Schlemko played 18 per night in Arizona, but his waiver status indicates to me that he didn't do it reliably).

Clearly he didn't impress anyone in Dallas.
But Treliving knows him as well as anyone, and sometimes it just comes down to whether the coach trusts/likes you and how he utilizes you.
A fresh start, with his buddy Russell, and with Treliving's support could be the break he needs.
No risk in trying.
