Others Think So Too
Quentin Albertie of FanSided’s KingJamesGospel.com identified Sergio Rodriguez as a piece for the Cavaliers play-off run this season. In fact, it was this story that set off the NBA Rumors to the trade scenario.
"With Simmons in as point guard, Rodriguez will come off the bench. Rodriguez has been a great floor general for the Sixers. However, with T.J. McConnell and Jerryd Bayless as younger players with better defense and with three years left in their current contracts it’s clear he was signed as a stop-gap solution. Add in Simmons returning, it’s unlikely he’ll be back next season. Nonetheless, that doesn’t necessarily make him expendable. Rodriguez is a creative facilitator and finisher who is a veteran that can command the young team. Especially with Bayless out indefinitely due to injury, it’s hard to see the team putting him on the trading block."
And so, it comes down to the offer. That is the one piece that will make or break this deal. Too little and it won’t happen. Too much and the Cavaliers will walk away. So what is the FMV of a reserve PG for a season?
