Roddy is on the bloc as a salary dump
That's what ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reports in his TrueHoop post on trade rumors:

Sources say Dallas is about ready to move on from the Roddy Beaubois experiment. The Mavericks have thought for years that the talented young Frenchman could be another Tony Parker, but he has not been able to master the move from shooting guard to point guard. Nor has he been able to fill the void left by J.J. Barea. If they don't move him before this year's deadline, he could be gone over the summer.

This would be a financial move for the Mavs, who are trying to create as much salary cap space as possible this summer. Moving Beaubois in a salary dump, similar to the December deal the Mavs made to ship Corey Brewer and Rudy Fernandez to Denver, would clear another $2.23 million off the books.

Bibby and Walker for Roddy B and Wright + 2nd rd pick.
Bibby needs to retire, Walker minutes can be replaced with Novak and JR.

Roddy got great hops, decent handle. Plays great D. Has been learning under JKidd, hopefully he picked up few pointers.
Wright can back up Tyson. Great shot blocker, can jump out of the building.

This trade will have to wait until after March 1st. But it is worth exploring.

And Bibby can play pg?
Brandon Wright is better than who we have now backing up Tyson, which is no one.
