Saying there is no downside to exercising a contract option is NOT the same thing as saying there's no downside to JJB being on the roster next season.

literally, the signing is an increase in the possibility that he stays over the possibility of his staying if he didn't sign. You can't separate the two literally.

It's 1.8mil. If they're deathly terrified of how Carlisle uses him they can freaking cut him.
I'll say again, there is *literally* no downside to exercising a 1.8 million dollar option on a player that plenty of teams would pay more for.

im all for this. jj would be starting for the knicks if they signed him.
now with that being said, he should stay..
but JET should go. he makes too much money to be another undersized gaurd for us.
we have roddy b and jj. thats enough
jet and damp have got to GTFO...their time is up

I do not understand the notion that the Mavs would have been better off last season if, say, Barea had spent the year on the IR. That just blows my mind.

The way I hear it, we would have been beter off last says if Barea, Terry, Kidd, Najara and Damp had spent the year on the IR. Dirk would have had to set a few records just to win a game!

i definitely don't get all the JJ hate. he's a serviceable player.
the thing about JET is that he's too streaky, and seems to fold in the playoffs. Damp is just old and he looks like it.

There's a handful of teams that would be willing to take JJB for MORE than 1.8 mil too.

And next offseason if he plays more than just backup point guard minutes... we will be wishing that other teams had offered him that money.

We need a 3rd PG anyway. He knows the system and the price tag is ok.
Its just up to the damn coach to handle him what he is: a damn 3rd PG, so lets hammer him with DNP.
Barea should see the court with foultrouble or injuries of Kidd or Roddy.
And i do not want Roddy as a fulltime SG because that means there is a reason more to play Barea. Roddy has to learn the crappy PnR and then Barea is no topic anyway.

I have no problem with extending Barea, because I think it's a good idea to keep a serviceable player around. I don't think you let a serviceable player walk just because you're afraid the coach will overuse him.
That said, I wouldn't call Barea a "steal" at $1.8 million, nor do I believe that there are a bunch of teams out there dying to sign him for that or more.

he's not quite a bargain compared to say Anthony Morrow making 700,000 or the Suns signing Matt Barnes for the same 2 summers ago. but it's still a no-brainer to pick up his option

There are some back-up PGs out there making over 3-4 million, some are making around what JJ makes, but a little bit higher...I'd still say it's a steal.

raise your hand if you think Barea would be a bad idea at 10 or so minutes a game. . . [no one?]
raise your hand if you think Carlisle will limit Barea's minutes to 10 or so a game . . .

I predict that Barea's minutes (if he's in the rotation) will be limited to 10-14 mpg as the backup PG.

Roddy needs to be the backup point guard. Terry and Butler play the 2 guard so if Barea is playing the backup point guard, Roddy isn't. That is how Barea can hurt us.

Anyone who disagrees with this move is stupid. He's coming in cheap, and will more than likely be used as a sweetener in a trade.

I highly doubt that, and if it does come down to that, I fully expect Roddy to out perform him and earn his minutes next year. Mark my words, Roddy won't be riding the pine as hard next year.

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.

Hopefully he is traded. We have no use for him any longer. We probably shouldn't have has much use for him this year, his team worst adj +/- shows that he was more of a negative. But whatever. I like picking up the trade chip.

well thankfully damp is gone anyway.
and if he does come back itll be really cheap. but hes not worth anything to me, sure hes a good defender. but we need a big man to get buckets down low.
im a JET fan, but he needs to find a new home. we have no use for him if were bring back JJ. we got kidd, JJ and roddy.
now we need a SG that can attack... sadly i dont have confidence were gona get one..

Do not, however, confuse "picking up his option'' with "he'll definitely be a Mav next year.'' If you know what I mean.

And don't ever think he'll be "just a backup" under Carlisle too.
Let's pray he gets traded and the Mavs get an upgrade in talent.

JJ's a legitament spark off the bench if no one else is sparking. So why not bring him back? Doesn't make sense not to. He just needs to have his role as 3rd PG who can provide offense if no one else is.

Without immediately looking at a list, I would wager that JJ is one of the 10 best backup PG's in the league, as long as he is relegated to just playing backup PG and not whacky off-guard thing in the three-guard lineup. A top-10 backup PG is a steal at $1.8 mil, in my book.
And if he's not a Mav next year, that's fine too, long as we use him smartly in a trade.

I would put Barea as the top 10 weakest backup point guards.

A good way to measure that is by looking at his plus/minus. He is -6.7 in that category and his playoffs didn't help his cause in that category. He is easily one of the worst top 10 backup point guards in the league . Now he might be one of the best 3rd string backup point guards in the league if used that way.

Quit spewing that plus/minus stat to me. I don't believe in that crap. You're getting dumber and dumber by the post...
