Did you even watch the Minn game? That was clearly a game the Mavs had circled. They'd lost to them twice and they treated it like a very, very important game.

Roddy has simply gone back to his "break glass in case of injury or blowout" role he had in his rookie year. Except for 20 minutes, he has been used mainly this year as PG and with him being 3rd on depth chart (4th on the SG) it makes no sense to have him here. He is not going to get better through "practicing hard" because the Mavs won't be practicing with games scheduled every other day now til the end of April.

He is not going to get better on the bench. Either ask him to go to the D league where he can practice and play or just trade him for a 2nd rounder and cap space.
Roddy's not going to get any better in the D League. He will get the chance to get better this season as he gets minutes during easier games, blowout, and filling in for injuries (all of which has already happened).

The Mavs can trade him for cap space any time they want to. There's absolutely no reason for them to do it before they need to.

Based on some of your recent comments I get the impression that you're more interested in Roddy getting better than the Mavs winning.
