Roddy Update: Surgery on Friday

by Bryan Gutierrez on Aug 9, 2010 9:20 PM CDT

ESPN Dallas' Jeff Caplan is reporting that Roddy Beaubois will have surgery on Friday to place a pin his broken left foot.

Roddy is expected to miss 2-3 months, which lines up with late October into November. For Beaubois, training camp is definitely off the table and now the question how many, if any, games will Roddy miss to start the season?

In an interesting spin

Perhaps most disappointing for Mavs coach Rick Carlisle is that Beaubois' injury will likely stall any plan of starting him at shooting guard. Such a scenario would have slid Caron Butler to his more-favored small forward position and moved Shawn Marion (happily or not) to the bench, where he could provide a highly energetic and productive 25 minutes a game.

Its okay to miss the start of the season

I don’t want him at 75% on Opening Night, when I can have him at 100% a month later. I’m more worried how this injury will effect his mobility and explosiveness.

Shawn Marion off the bench? That'll be the final nail in the coffin for his career =(

Can’t believe how good this guy was in Pho and just how far he has fallen since not playing with Nash…

He could have been better paid and been an absolute legend if he would have just kept his mouth shut about getting a max contract and instead “settled” for something like 5 yrs – $50 million in order to play with Nash.

Oh well…

meh

At this point, if Marion had come off the bench with Roddy at the 2 and Caron at the 3, it would’ve been an instant upgrade. Ya, he’s nowhere near his former self, but the guy had a ton of mileage on him and was due for a fall. If you can somehow limit his minutes to around 25 (like Caplan was saying), this team becomes better AND it probably extends his effectiveness for another couple of years.
