Roddy is the price of a all-star not only are Mav's fan's arrogant ur irrational . Let me guess Dirk is the best player in the league too it will take LeBron , Wade And Bosh to get Dirk tht's how amazing he is LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
MAVS FAN quit crying over 2006 u had ur one shot to win a title in a billion years u ruined it
Nothing about the finals from me, we were beat with or without the refs. It was Dirk and Josh Howard vs Wade and a still dominant Shaq. We lost.
Why couldn't "baby flash" dominate the spurs? He did. Even fans with the most basic knowledge on Roddy know this. He was put in once during the entire series when Rick was getting desperate in Game 6 and he dominated. Take 2 minutes of your time and check it out.

I agree this kid has a ton of potential, upside, and the tools to become a great PG in the future, but the thing we were stating is some of your fans were posturing us about not even mentioning him in a trade without Wade being a part of it which is completely absurd. Also he doesn't seem to be that important to your coaching staff the way they only gave him limited minutes.
I think everyone's looking at this conversation the wrong way. We aren't trying to say "if you want Roddy, then Wade has to be included" or that Roddy is on the same level as Wade at all. At the start of the summer it was known to everyone that if we were going to get any big free agent it was going to be through a S&T package based around Damp's instant 13 million expiring and any assets we could throw around that. It was also known to everyone that the Mavs FO was very high on Roddy (as is the fanbase obviously) and made it clear to the public that Roddy would only be involved in the conversation if we had accomplished the seemingly impossible and gotten Wade or LBJ to request their respective management to explore the possibilities of a S&T. I guess Bosh too but we've known for about a year that he wasn't interested in coming here at all. Everyone here who is talking all this noise about how we should have given Roddy up for JJ are completely ignoring the fact that he is an extremely overrated, unaccomplished post season performer who is now on one of the worst contracts in the league. I would much be paying Roddy whatever we are paying him in 6 years at the age of 26 than pay JJ $20 million at the age of 35. JJ's game is going to plummet in a couple years the same way Michael Finley's did we he turned 32 or 33, he's nothing but a jump shooter....a jump shooter with a $120 million payday.
And our coaching staff is stupid, that's why Roddy didn't play. He is that important to our franchise though and he'll play this year or Rick's ass is gone.
@Akshan.....what? I said you needed a center and a backup PG because Riley is looking for them not because i'm arrogant or irrational. you have 2 players under salary, now knowing that, explain to me how you don't have needs on your roster. And you're right, we didn't get out of the first round, that has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation so i don't understand how that's a response. you did sound really cool though when you started bragging about that lone playoff win that Wade had to drag the Heat to, i shouldn't have ever opened my mouth, how could i forget that you could pull that ultimate trump card on me.
It funny how most of the Heat posters (not all) call us arrogant for expressing a viewpoint and then respond with an insult about the '06 finals rather than keep to the conversation at hand. I'm not going to take it personally man, I didn't play, neither did you, I just really like to follow the NBA.
