What would be the most Intelligent thing for the Mavs resigning Barea or Trading Roddy

Berea-age 27

Beaubois- age 23

so you want to keep a 27 year old, Severely undersized PG, that has more than likely progressed as far as he will go, over a 23 year old slightly undersized guard that may still may blossom into an All-star….all because in his(Beaubois’) Second season, that didn’t start until the season was nearly half over, he failed to outplay a 5 year veteran?

I have never said that I don’t appreciate what JJ has brought to this Team….However, what he brings and what Beaubois has the potential to bring are no where near the same Level (Beaubois is much greater)

I have always said that Some team is going to throw a bunch of money at JJ and that it would be foolish for Dallas to get in a bidding war for him….not because he isn’t worth it, but because we can get virtually the same production with Beaubois at a fraction of the price…

And what is up with this?

Now that we have that information can someone explain me why I guy more than 5 inches taller than the other averages the same amount of rebounds that the smallest guy in the court averages and less points, and please don’t tell me is because of a 2 minute playing time differential

I can tell you right now why…Beaubois only played Half a season…..as far as the rebounds go, there are very few good rebounding PG’s in the league….Chris Paul, arguably the best PG in the game right now, gets “only” 4.6 RPG….

Re-sign Barea and develop Roddy! Nuf Said?

Really, either could be a great trade chip, that is if Barea doesn’t take a sky high offer and Roddy get’s back to being healthy. Either could also be a stable piece for the near future.
 
I agree that Barea may have been underrated in the past, but after his show against a top defense in the league, I believe that his hieght is now a second thought to his ability, as it should be. Barea does everything a PG should by breaking down the defense, enabling teammates, smothering defense. He has game at both ends of the floor, just a little slow against the All-Star PG’s in the league.

Roddy has such a high ceiling on his talent, I can’t wait to see him catch fire this season.
As far as trading, anyone may be traded, (except Dirk, Kidd and Terry-fingers crossed). This is a business afterall, so I think the question could be what do we get for trading Roddy? If we trade away all our young talent then what will the Mavs look like after Dirk & Company are retired and/or coaching?

To re-sign Barea, he’s gonna have to pass up the monster deals heading his way to start at PG. By monster deal I mean in the neighborhood of $4-6m/yr for 3+ years. The business side of this may be to pay what he wants and package him in a trade for a younger talent to fill a “Need” position. But, then Barea doesnt have the choice of suitors, unless it’s in the contract. Either way it may be better for both sides to let Barea go, whether it’s a valuation of his talent, making room on the roster at G or reducing our CAP. The Mavs already have replacement talent at G, and traded at the draft to get more. Of course, $4-6m/yr is not bad for a starting PG after this season, but it may be a bit much for backup.
IMO: Trading Roddy should only be an option if he is hurt seriously again before the All-Star break, then maybe we get something for our trouble. =(
IMO: Re-signing Barea is a good idea but, anything we pay him will be in the luxury tax, and may not be possible once a new CBA is agreed to.
Still, more intelligent to re-sign Barea than to trade Roddy at this point, IMO.

the kid cant play better defense than JJ. that says a lot right there. look yeah i think he has a bright nba career. but im not in this cloud of thinking roddy is the promise land. he again needs surgery on the foot. a guy that small already with these much injuries wont look good. that means other teams will be ready to knock him for another injury. i just hope he doesn’t fade off like shaun livingston.

then in the regular season. Don’t forget that Barea shot 1-8, 2-7, 2-8 in the first three games of the finals.

Do Dallas fans really think that we won the last three games of the finals due to coincidence, I don’t

I think we won the last three games of the finals, because of a combination of Dirk, Terry, Chandler, Kidd, Marion, Stevenson, Cardinal, Mahinmi, and Barea. Barea, shooting 38% in the finals, was only part of the group.

Barea is a big attraction for the Latin Market and I think that’s one of the favorite reasons why Cuban wants him of the team he’s making big profits out of the little man.

Did Cuban ever say that’s why he likes Barea? If so I would like to see a link to that. Cuban wants to win more so then make a profit.

My conclusion is I would like to keep him at the right price, but I don’t want him back if it takes a 6 year 45 million dollar contract. I would offer him something like 4 years 20 million.

Saying the Mavs like him because he made the Legends (Donnie’s team, not Cuban’s, by the way) look good is dumb, because A) the Legends didn’t exist during JJ’s stint in the NBA’s garbage can AKA the D-League (averaged a 31/7/6 at 5 foot 10, nuff said) and B) I don’t think Donnie cared about how good a D-League team looked before he bought in, he liked JJB enough to give him a guaranteed contract because he had a great college career that included several awards (he went undrafted because of his size, like what almost happened to Isaiah Thomas) and was pretty good in the summer leagues.

As for the Roddy or JJB debate, Barea will most likely get a 30-40 million offer. Mavs can’t spend that kind of money on a backup PG. And Roddy’s trade value was killed by what is looking more and more like a chronic foot injury, so he’s not going anywhere.

So it’s a pointless discussion. Most likely neither one’s gonna happen. Lots of fail in this post/comments.
