    I see Milwaukee is looking to move oj mayo.. Thinking we can move couple pieces to grab him or future first... Only has two years 16 million left on contract.. Move into starting two spot or 6th man role.. Thoughts?

    ... Who the heck is that? Haven't heard that name in a while.

    My thought is that hopefully CJ becomes better than OJ.

    I think I'd need at least Henson from them to take Mayo off of their hands.

    It amazes me how sought after mayo was coming out of the draft. How the tables have turned

    Funny how making millions can make you lazy and complacent.

    Do you think it's that? I thought he was more of a "ball hog" that had no understanding of team.

    I thought he was pretty good for Dallas.

    Honestly, I thought he was good there too. Maybe he just needs the right coach.

    Yes I believe that he knows if he can score he will get paid and he will be because there is talent there.

    He was ok in Memphis also, and seems to "get it" that he's not what he was expected to be out of HS. And accepts that. He'd easily fill the 6th man scorer role for us. And is an underrated defender, IMO. BUt again, I'm not bailing them out of the contract they gave him. I'd take him, but I'd want more.

    Yeah personally I would love to have a defensive wing coming off the bench. For scoring, I would like a bench big that can score.

    Mayo is still only 26 and if on right team like wAs with Dallas I like him a lot... Another thought is Wilson chandler is available to and could snag him.. One year left on Wilson's contract..

    Yeah, I've been suggesting Shawn Marion as a defensive wing. He's played the 3/4 positions for the Mavs and he has experience working with Stotts.

    I actually like mayo.

    But I'd much rather just try to sign sefolosha for 1/3 of the cost

    Thabo seemed pretty washed up last season.

    I think the age is the problem. But I always liked Marion

    He's dependable and played well throughout his career. His defensive mindset would certainly help in the way of improving the defense from within.
