Rodrigue Beaubois

[jjktkk]

right. because one game early in a regular season should be a great barometer on how a 3rd year bench player can guard arguably one of the 5 greatest players in NBA history.

Lol, Such Spurs hate Phillip. Okay watch the Lakers/Spurs 2nd game this season. No one can shut down Kobe, not even the soon to be great,French Allah, but Hill guards Kobe pretty well and as of today. is a better defender than Beaubois.

not so sure butler will be in any shape to contribute much at all. again, i reallyyyy think we're fooling ourselves by thinking we don't still need a trade just because we won a few games since dirk got back. his absence really exposed a lot of things that won't become re exposed again until the playoffs.

its easy to say that Dirk's absence exposed a lot of things, but you could say the same about the Lakers without Kobe, Boston without Pierce, and so on. Chances are, neither of those two teams have a remote chance without their best player either, and they would have the exact same issues the Mavs had without Dirk... unreliable leadership, lack of offensive explosiveness, etc...

while I do agree a trade would be helpful, I think at the same time some people are not realizing just how important chemistry is to a team. I havent seen team chemistry this good since the 02-03 season. as long as the Mavs have Dirk, they have a shot. people may point to what happened last year against the Spurs when they declined to double Dirk much, and force others to beat them, and I think that is where the team chemistry comes into play. you can see a marked improvement in how the team plays off of Dirk this year, as opposed to last year. The team's inability to play off of Dirk last year is what killed them against the Spurs. But this year, its clear that Carlisle has added a number of more plays and gotten the team to develop chemistry with guys outside of Dirk, and to utilize the attention that Dirk draws while hes on the court.

i never disagreed that Hill is a solid defender. its funny how you spurfans think that just because I don't sit around sucking Hill's about his defense, thinks that means I feel he is a defender. not at all. he's a very solid role player on both ends of the court.

LOL 6'0 shooting guard...

[Phillip]

he's really not dude. jason terry isn't 6-2 either. both guys are 6ft, all nba players heights are with shoes on and then sometimes exaggerated a bit from there. celebheights.com has kobe as 6'4.5 and these people put a lot of work into analyzing that

then you gotta drop pretty much everyones height by 2-3 inches, not just roddy. Dirk is really like 6'9, as well as most "7-footers"

going by "NBA height", Roddy is 6'2, just like Dirk is 7'0.

So as a Spurs fan am I suppose christen Beaubois as a future Hofer after a solid rookie year as alot of Mav fans do on here?

i dont think a single Mavericks fan here has said anything about Roddy being a future HOFer. just that he has enormus potential that has yet to be reached, and may never be reached either.

[mikeschy55]

He's bigger than JET on the court, and Roddy's ceiling is way higher than either Neil or Hill.

French Allah' delivers

here you go:

6-1 without shoes, 6-2 with shoes

Pretty much identical to Hill:

hopefully beaubois is in a nuggs uni this time next week

[Ghazi]

or suns uni

say it w/ me

steeeeeeeeeeeeve naaaaaaaaaaaaaaash

[Greg Oden]

ghazi you shut your mouth right now.

[Ghazi]

I'd give up Roddy for Melo or the great steve nash

A guy like Iggy/Jackson/Prince though I'd keep Roddy

I hope the Mavs recent success doesn't make them stand pat

[Greg Oden]

I'd give up Roddy steve nash

Why, so our perimeter D can be even worse? Tyson can only clean up so much.

[Ghazi]

great ing MVP mix

[Muser]

Butler should be able to bring back something of value surely.

[badfish22]

boom nailed it

Yeah, I did.

Also I heard Dirk is closer to 7-1 than 7-0.

[jjktkk]

Mav fans, as far as trading for Nash, you think Dallas would do it? A part of me thinks Cuban would, regardless of giving away the future in Roddy, but another part of me thinks Cuban wouldn't swallow his pride and admit he never should of let Nash walk in the 1st place.

[clambake]

nash for roddy?

no thanks

[sefant77]

Nash for Roddy wont happen

[DMC]

Nash will never win a le. He's a good player, great PG, sucks on defense. Great teams need great defenders. Having a hole on defense at that spot is pretty tough on a team. Nash is on a team that has holes at all spots, but he's the major defensive weakness.

right now mavs have to many players and not enough minutes to go around. players will tell you its not a problem but i call bs on that. esp when a guy like roddy who hasnt even had to earn any of his minutes ends up taking all your minutes bc of fans forcing him to. it doesnt make for a happy locker room esp if the mavs start losing bc of it. everything is fine and dandy right now. i think the mavs need to make a trade and empty some of that dead weight so the minutes can work for everyone.


if your gonna go ahead and roll your dice on beabouis then peja and stevenson dont even need to be on this team. all those minutes should be going to beabouis. those guys need to be cut so guys can start filling in their roles and getting heavy minutes each night.

We don't need Stevenson except for in case of an injury. Beaubois isn't fit enough to play high minutes. At least with the intensity he comes out with. He is best at about 20-24 minutes per night if he can keep that intensity. And Terry playing heavy minutes isn't a good idea either due to his age. Having Beaubois and Terry share minutes is best for both of them imo. Peja and Marion are in the same situation as Terry. Though if we could get Melo, that would be a upgrade over being super deep. Then Stevenson's role would work again.
