OJ Mayo package idea?

[slamtheking]

Anybody else think its crazy that they extended conley and now they are going to have to give up Mayo or Gasol?

I'll think they are nuts if they lock in Gasol/Randolph/Mayo/Gay as their core team.

don't forget Conley as their starting PG. 

I agree, that's not a playoff starting line-up.  Randolph would be the best chip to use to bolster their team once he's on the last year of his contract.

Oops I meant to type Conley/Gay/Randolph/Gasol

Adding Mayo to their long term plans would be the worst move they could make at this point.

I agree that would be a major faux-pas.  of their starters, I'd keep Gasol and consider everyone else trade bait.  Gay's a good second scorer but his contract is a bit much.  Randolph, Mayo and Conley are flashy trading chips they can use to bring in a better player or two.

I am all about trying to get Mayo.


Even if they have to give up Nate to get him (when West is back)

TP...i agree with you.He is a hard worker off the court sorta reminds me of Ray Allen in his work ethic and seems to be getting better each time i catch one of the Grizz's games.I don't think he is completely happy on that team either.

Ray could be a good mentor for him i think.

Heck, I'd offer Nate, a 1st round pick, and a 2nd round pick for Mayo and see if they'd bite. A 2nd unit backcourt of Delonte and Mayo would be effective offensively, and we'd get a viable future piece along side Rondo finally.

As for offering Bradley, I have no idea what to make of the kid - a could be a really talented NBA play some day, but this isn't the greatest opportunity for him. He's not going to get minutes, and Danny & Doc seem hesitant to send him to the Dleague to get burn so what his value really is is kinda questionable.

He is the emergency player right now.

Would anyone be against bringing back Tony if that were part of the deal of getting OJ?

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2wfmmag

Tony, OJ, and Haddadi for Quis, Nate and Bradley

Add in a 1st and 2nd rounder and that deal isn't too farfetched.
Understand that Memphis isn't an organization bringing in profit or a huge fan base. They're willing to pay a few good players, but not overpay an entire starting 5. I expect them to try to talk Zbo down to a contract, and fight it out with Marc. Mayo will be the odd ball out, and they will give him up for less than he's worth(ie. Pau Gasol)

In my new trade, they lose an extra year of Tony's salary of bench warming, and the won't have to pay OJ, along with getting a great backup scorer and energy dude/fan fav Nate plus Avery could develop into an improved Tony. Quis could fit right into that group of guys(IMO) Lastly, they get some draft picks for w/e year they want them. We never use them. Semih is the last draft pick since BBD to actually crack the rotation, and that took 2 years in Turkey to accomplish

It's a simple trade for us. We get Ray's replacement and the 6th man of the year on a championship team, our lock down defender back in Tony, and another 7 footer. A healthy West makes this trade flawless for us now and later

i dont like this. i think bradley has the potential to be better than TA and ainge didnt want to sign TA to a 3yr deal. id look at maybe nate/JO and draft picks for mayo but the celts really need a 6-7 or 6-8 sf more than another combo guard

Maybe Bradley might be a better defender than Tony one day. Who knows.

But, OJ Mayo makes this deal worthwhile. It also makes it extremely unlikely..no way does Memphis pull this trigger.

Also, I'd take Tony on this team now and have a better shot at a chip than keep Bradley for a worse shot, even if Bradley turned into Joe Dumars incarnate.

why would you get rid of your only legit SF back up (quise) and a young player just to get back a good defender with a very limited offensive game and ANOTHER center.  nate and JO for haddadi and OJ. that would be a good deal for the celts. i dont think they want TA back they had the chance to match the offer memphis gave him and didnt take it. i like TA but i think that they have enough options at the guard positions. if you played west OJ and TA thats a pretty small lineup.

Well for one, OJ Mayo is far and away the most talented player in the trade.

Two, Tony Allen does a better job on SF's than Marquis Daniels does, so I'd rather have Tony.

Three, if we're giving up JO, I wouldn't mind the sasquatch known as Haddadi in return. Worst comes to worst, he's terrible.

id definitely go for OJ i just dont see why we would want TA. i think West is a better and more alround player and quise offers better handles which would be needed. we cant afford to have TA runnin around like headless chicken tryin to create something. would memphis give OJ for nate??
