Kidd and Delonte were working well, so you might as well let them see it out.
Just because he sits on the bench doesn't mean he doesn't have any practice time or one on one time with coaches. It just means he doesn't have the chance to play. Everything else is still in the mix.

I have no problem with Carlisle choosing that match up over another because his job is to win.
But you can't be serious if you believe for one second that he can become a better player only through those side sessions and not playing. I am pretty sure he looks really good feeding Darrell Armstrong in the post who is being defended by Monte Mathis. He probably can actually complete a lob to Wright who is being guarded by nobody and doesn't have to run and catch. One on one sessions can never replace actual playing time. He hasn't played a lot in the last 3 years. Why is Roddy to good not to go to the D-league? Why was it great for Dojo, but a no-no for Roddy?
