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.
What are his real numbers?Jimmer's numbers this season: 25.1ppg on 71% TS

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.
Shouldn't be he was a PG project for a bit in Mem
What are his real numbers?
I think getting specialist players is what you do last to plug holes
I actually hardly ever watched Mayo while he was in Memphis, but I was hearing on some forums that his handles were bad and to be honest, he seemed to have problems with them in preseason.
Great to see that he is able to handle the ball well, I just hope to see him start attacking the rim a bit more. I know RC had him work on mainly his jumpshot all summer, but I wonder how much they've worked on attacking the basket.
I'm just glad Houston already made their move for Harden. They would have been primed and ready to throw money at OJ if he continues to play well. And being a complete free agent means he could get more money. When you are restricted, you're only going to get paid what the market bids for you. As a free agent, he can hold out for what he wants until he gets it. I don't see why OJ at 10m if he becomes an efficient 20,5,5 is bad. That seems on par with what you would pay somebody for playing the "Robin" role to somebody's "Batman".
The new CBA taxes really start to kick in next summer. He isnt getting 10 plus unless he avgs 30 here on out, imo.
Wright and Ed Davis both should have stayed in school longerActually I gotta give love to Brandan Wright. Dude has been ballin this year. It's like he never misses around the rim, and now he's able to shoot a jumper? If only he can keep healthy!

Players like Derozen's contracts don't really kick in until next year. You're basically saying that unless he becomes MJ, he won't get paid. That's ridiculous.
dIEHARD has similar feelings as R Kelly in regards to things being 'nothin' but a number'
Ironically, he is also upset about people pissin' on Jimmer.
And no GM had to pay derozan 11M per
No GM has to pay anyone, 11M per.
He's making 4M now on the rookie scale, next year you pay him, or he walks, you won't even get the benefit of him being a RFA, and being able to match.
People will pay him because IF he does put up 20-5-5 efficiently, those are really great numbers for a SG in this NBA.
So better than ass
Awesome
Its ridiculous, but thats exactly what Im saying.
Lets say the bucks offered 4 for 44 next summer. Why would Cuban counter that with more money, for OJ Mayo, considering tax implications?
I don't think Wright's game was hurt by lack of college play, but Wright's body definitely wasn't NBA-ready. I know he put on like 15 lbs in the offseason, which seems to have helped him not get outmuscled as much. He doesn't really look bigger, but he definitely has been playing stronger this year.
Per36 is as useful as freakish wingspan
Why would the Bucks offer him 4/44 when they have Monte Ellis and Brandon Jennings?
Why would the Bucks offer him 4/44 when they have Monte Ellis and Brandon Jennings? And your example is essentially an example of OJ getting payed. This isn't a question of will Dallas match OJ's best offer from others. This is a question of will OJ get paid anywhere.

More power to OJ and his agent if he gets 10 next summer.
no but seriously my originally projection of "The WhiteHouse" keeps looking better.Eddie
And im saying he wont.
They match in seconds because SG is the toughest spot to fill in the NBA at the moment?
And with out him they're starting Vince Carter?
Not sure I'm going to vote...Because really, both options are two sides of the same coin...
But you just asked me if Bucks payed him, why would Cuban counter offer. Your argument that OJ won't get paid is "If Bucks pay him, Cuban won't". But the Bucks just paid him! So he did get paid!
The Roddy B movement could always start up again![]()
Jason Terry was getting about 12m and getting like 18,3,4 at best.
Vote or die!
That was the old Mark Cuban though.
Salt Lake City police Detective Josh Ashdown said a pair of Utah Jazz fans were attending the basketball game Wednesday night when they started trash talking with a pair of Lakers fans.
The discussion escalated and the Lakers fans challenged the Jazz fans to a fight, which they declined, Ashdown said.
Security threw the two Lakers' fans out of the game, but they apparently decided to stick around to continue the confrontation with the Jazz fans, he said.
The Lakers' fans spotted the Jazz fans standing on the corner of 100 South and 400 West and started trash talking again.
At that point, one of the Lakers' fans pulled out pepper spray fogger and let loose with it, police said.
At ten million or more, I dont believe he will.
He lucks out and gets 10 from somebody else, I dont see Cuban matching.
But players do luck out and get paid.
