While overseas, Roberts was traded to the <a href="/facts/New_Jersey_Nets/5tL057Rj">New Jersey Nets</a> on November 12, 1982, for <a href="/facts/Phil_Ford_(basketball)/IjRv26c8">Phil Ford</a> and a second-round draft choice,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> and from there was traded to the <a href="/facts/San_Antonio_Spurs/h9dRTffC">San Antonio Spurs</a> on June 7, 1983, with other players in exchange for coach <a href="/facts/Stan_Albeck/ydbXaFmw">Stan Albeck</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> Afterwards, he played his first full NBA season with the Spurs. </p><p>He played just over a season with San Antonio before being traded to the <a href="/facts/Utah_Jazz/2zsxzE6W">Utah Jazz</a> for two second-round draft picks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> In September 1986, the <a href="/facts/Boston_Celtics/kAm5yWCJ">Boston Celtics</a> offered him a two-year deal worth $315,000, which the Jazz matched.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> Almost immediately after matching the offer, the Jazz traded him to Boston for a future draft pick<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> and two Boston-Utah preseason games, the Celtics agreeing to play the Jazz twice during the next preseason as part of the trade.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> He played two seasons for the Celtics, appearing in the <a href="/facts/1987_NBA_Finals/WRHVw7dc">1987 NBA Finals</a>, before being chosen by the <a href="/facts/Miami_Heat/m7zgmdyH">Miami Heat</a> in the <a href="/facts/1988_NBA_Expansion_Draft/RIMe1Mm8">1988 NBA expansion draft</a>. </p><p>However, Roberts was traded to the <a href="/facts/Milwaukee_Bucks/0rYS33Pz">Milwaukee Bucks</a> before ever playing a game for the Heat. He played for the Bucks for five seasons, where he had his best years as a professional, reaching the 10 points per game mark and playing more minutes than he ever had in his career. The highlight of his time in Milwaukee came in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals in 1989, in which Roberts replaced injured forward <a href="/facts/Terry_Cummings/lbppRz34">Terry Cummings</a> and scored a career-high 33 points in a 96–94 loss to the <a href="/facts/Detroit_Pistons/t3XpkL15">Detroit Pistons</a>.
