I thought benching JRich for Green IN MIAMI last night was either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. I think it is important that Dallas not do anything to taint the leagues view of JRich. They need him to opt out and they need Duffy to be satisfied with how JRich was treated this season. I'm not sure benching JRich accomplished either of those thing.This is also why I’m preparing myself for the chance that JRich returns...pay him something and make Duffy happy. Even if it is “Powell-type” money to come off the bench, I think the Duffy role is something we overlook when we want to lose JRich as soon as possible this summer
