Roddy can't be the starting SG and the backup PG. And odds are that he's going to be the starting SG unless we get Wade or JJ or some such in here. He's not going to play 40+ minutes per game in the regular season. JJ is a very nice security blanket to have for limited (8-10) minutes per game at the backup 1.

I don't know how it will shake out, but I'll be pretty surprised if Roddy isn't the starting SG. Maybe he'll come quickly off the bench, but I'd expect him to get 30+ mpg at the 2.

*edit* Again, this is of course assuming that we don't get a star SG in the market this summer.

That's basically the nice consolation prize if we don't get one of the bigger wing options this summer.

When you've got backups like Nate Robinson making 5 mil, Jarrett Jack at 4.5, Ridnour at 6.5, you like that 1.8 a lot better for a backup. Sure there are guys like Arroyo, J. Williams, and Augustin who are on much modest salaries, but there are inflated ones as well.

Again, it's just all dependent on if Rick learns his lesson.
