lol. They arent the Clippers or the Knicks, they have no bench.
Players need to rest, but when you try to find proper rest for players. The plus/minus gets out of hand like the quote above states.

I hate it when these writers do this....His stats aren't telling. The W's defense has been significantly better when he's on the floor.
that would require them to be good at their job though.
LOL, yes!!

Assuming Mayo averages what he did in the Toronto game last night for the year, how much will it cost the Mavs to keep him? I don't think he would be a max player, but I think he may like his fit here. Which team will be primed to buy him out if he continues to be a consistent and efficient 20 ppg?
i don't know what would happen if an asteroid the size of Texas hit the earth?
If he continues to put up 20-5-5 efficiently he's a 12M per year guy.
Who? there will be plenty of teams with massive amounts of money at the end of this season.
I think something like 10 teams will have room for max offers.

There is no max for OJ.
Odds are, imo, he opts out. Then re-ups at 3 for 24.

After the contracts give out this year?
no chance he signs for only 7 digits per year.
Derozan got 11M per.

Dallas should be able to afford that and they have Collison's Bird rights. So Dallas will have the option to keep the backcourt in tact. They may be able to backload contracts too since Dirk's next contract in two years will definitely be smaller. Hopefully he pulls a Tim Duncan and gives Dallas some more wiggle room. Dirk actually doesn't have an agent and has handled all of his contractual discussions with Cuban personally. I don't think Dirk would mind something along the lines of 10m a year once he is 35.
based on theignoramus' post, i'd say it's because you are a junior member. maybe blackace will change you to a member to allow you to exercise your right to vote?
on another note i voted for my little kobe
edit: holy fuck this was so late. that what i get for gaffing at work

Standard raise off the rookie deal.
Mem, essentially, cut OJ. He isn't in the running for the guaranteed raises off a rookie deal anymore.

I like the prospect of Dallas keeping Dirk and Marion as the older and cheaper vets with Mayo and Collison becoming the new faces. They'd have enough money to make another smart move and get a near-all star player.

That's what has me so intrigued by this year. Both him and Collison definitely have the potential to be a lethal backcourt, but for years they've been stuck at a place where they can't shine. Hopefully they can actually break out and we sign them for long term.

A lot of teams seem to be going for the good player at every position route pretty much the Philly Mem Den models
Uhh? Thats a nice storyline, but they cut him because he didn't get along with the team and they couldn't afford too. (or refused to afford to).
And Derozans contract is not "standard rookie raise". What mythical tale does that come from? Why didn't a billion other rookies get it?
I'm also not saying that Mayo is necessarily WORTH 12M per, but i really would be surprised to see him sign for anything under 10Mper if he puts up anything close to 20-5-5

Financial Flexibility prevails! Think how bad Dallas would have been if they paid up to keep Chandler, Barea and Terry.
Having good players at every position is every team's model. It's just a lot harder to do if you have superstars at 2 or 3 positions.
Also I really doubt Mayo will average 20-5-5. 16-4-4 is more realistic on the optimistic side of the scale.

If he does 20-5-5 he is without a 10 million player in this market. Plus he is in Dallas

Jason Terry was getting about 12m and getting like 18,3,4 at best.

It's not really
It's every team's hope
But GMs aren't stupid and know you can make a team with 2 second options and great role players
Or a team with 2-3 superstars plus whatever

Who knows, as much grief as I give RC for not playing younger guys, he really is able to help players grow their game. Maybe with a good coach finally, Mayo can flourish. I was really surprised by his ballhandling last night when they were blitzing him as soon as he got the ball.
Ezili is gonna clown Dwight.

Shouldn't be he was a PG project for a bit in Mem
Who wrote that garbage? He had a bunch of assists last night, took some charges and blocked some shots. He's been a positive for nearly every minute he's been on the floor
Just wish they'd let him play the Lakers game before shutting him down.

I always felt that it was best to have a team full of players that had a purpose for your game plan. Not every player is going to be great, but they should be able to do something to add to the team. A team with an all star guard and center would want to have a deadly 3 point shooter. That shooter wouldn't need to have great handles or be a great defender since the guard will create opportunities and the center can help erase a lot of his mistakes. It isn't too expensive to get a guy who is just really good at shooting and not much else. You wouldn't want that same player on a team that has no ball handlers already or already has a bad defense.

Every decent lottery pick has gotten 10m or so these past few years.
No GM has to pay OJ 10m a year because he isnt a restricted FA. He is making 4 million right now. Why would any GM offer him 10 or more before anybody else does? He will get low-balled.
