In a lost season, tough decisions have to be made. Saturday night, the Dallas Mavericks made one of those decisions by requesting waivers on veteran big man Josh McRoberts.
McRoberts joined the Mavericks last summer via trade with the Miami Heat. The Heat got back A.J. Hammons, a second-round pick, and cash considerations. At the time, the move was viewed skeptically as McRoberts was sidelined with yet another injury. However, at least one person saw the potential of McRoberts. That person was me.
I fell in love with McRoberts’ game during his final season with the Charlotte Bobcats.
