If he can't be the SG and the 2nd scorer, the team has to make a move at the break or resign itself to another disappointing postseason.
And please, don't anyone suggest that Butler can be either: 1) a SG, or 2) the 2nd scorer on this team. He doesn't create his own shot well enough, handle well enough, and he's not efficient enough. He fits better in the starting lineup than Marion does because he is at least a threat to score and defends the SF spot fairly well (i.e., he's a 2 way player, unlike Marion), but that's where it ends.
Bottom line: If the Mavs can turn Beaubois into a No. 2 scorer, then things could work out for this roster. If not, more changes are needed.

Unfortunately I agree with you despite my thoughts on roddy. This team as it's constituted now is a one and done candidate (unless they really,really turn up their defensive intensity and I haven't seen that either).
I thought that the Al jefferson route to transform the team was a more solid one, but...
