He posted similar but slightly lower numbers the next season, and his statistics declined significantly while serving as the Grizzlies' sixth man the last two years. The Mavs switched gears to Mayo after plans to lure Deron Williams to Dallas fell apart. "We went on the option for the big free agent. That didn't work out.
