With mayo, we'd assure ourselves of having at least 1-2 shot creators on the floor at all times. I think some of you are underrating the value of that.
Could Matthews and a sign and trade with Hickson get us Asik? Clearing room to sign Mayo. I'd be totally up for this.
I want separate threads. I want to get news quickly. A thread titles that list actual news allows me to come here and find out what's going without fishing through one thread.
That's the thing... he shoots too much, takes bad shots, and he's really not that athletic. In fact, I remember being really surprised with how unathletic he was when he came in as rookie. Mayo had a good season statistically, but like I was saying in another thread, you have to consider a player's style of play and how it'll fit in with your team, beyond the statistics. Mayo's a guy that needs the ball in his hands to be effective. He's also a black hole offensively, and once he sees a few shots falling, he tries to really dominate the ball and pretend like he's MJ out there, jacking up anything that comes his way. Add to that the fact that he'll probably be looking for a lucrative, long-term deal, and I'd personally advise against that one. I was pretty damn glad when we didn't offer him a contract extension last summer... addition by subtraction.
