Not an easy decision. Good thing it most likely won't ever have to be made.

easiest decision ever. Roddy will peak after Dirk's window is closed, and he'll never be as good as Dirk is now. If we keep him without adding anything, then in 5 years, we'll be in the same boat we're in now, wondering how in the world some teams are able to get multiple franchise players on the roster before any of them are in serious decline.
