I think there are some crazy jumping to conclusions here. #1, we're assuming Mayo isn't lying to look good to the Boston media....or isn't being a little less honest than possible (maybe he didn't kill the trade, but might have said he wouldn't sign a long-term deal with Boston). #2, we're assuming KG is the main "culprit" in killing the deal - Mayo wasn't playing great and Ray was not hobbled at the time...and it seemed unlikely that Ray would leave the team if we gave him the best offer. It might very well be the case that Ainge and Doc, along w/ some consultations with the players, decided to not pull the trigger. Or...as previously reported, that Mayo blocked the trade (either by refusing it, or refusing to sign an extension - which I could understand, as this was maybe his big payday and being a role player in Boston wasn't going to pad his numbers any).
