O.J. Mayo

Call me obsessive, but I really want to see him in a Suns uniform. After bearing through our entire 128-103 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies last night, I became a huge fan of O.J Mayo's game. I really think this guy is going to be special. I mean, I always knew he was going to be good, but I am now predicting that he will exceed the career expectations I originally held for him. I can see him taking over games offensively, a la Kobe Bryant. He will be the one of the, if not the best shooting guard, around in his prime. I posted a trade idea a week ago, in which the Suns acquired him. Alando Tucker was involved in it, but since we already traded him, I would like to propose an updated version of my trade idea. So here it goes:

Phoenix gets:

Memphis gets:

Houston gets:

I really think this trade benefits all three teams. Phoenix will have future superstar in Mayo, who can step in today and fit in nicely on our team and its system. Memphis will have the money to lure a big name free agent once T-Mac's hefty contract expires this off-season. Houston will receive Zach Randolph and J-Rich. That sounds good right now. I imagine adding a healthy Yao next season will only make it sound even better.

What do you think?

Houston will not trade Scola or David Anderson

especially not for Zach Randolph

He's a scorer.

I don’t think he really does much else. He may prove me wrong, but still, I think we’ve already got a few of those on our team.

I think Memphis know what they have in Mayo

Mcgrady’s expiring is no guarantee of someone like lebron or wade, which are the only two that are worth considering in exchange for Mayo’s almost unlimited potential

I actually think thats a good trade Zach Randolph is the most underrated player in the game and gives the Rockets too good players Memphis is cheap and once T-Mac comes off the books can make moves..We get MAyo..im just not ready to get rid of Earl Clark..maybe throw in Lopez or Dragic but Earl Clark is going to be good

Randoplh

He seems okay to me, yes he’s been nomadic, I can’t think of any behaviour problems off the top of my head about him like getting DUIs, firing guns at strip club parking lots, beating his wife, or the like.

Chauncey Billups was tossed around a bunch before he settled in in Detriot. He seems to be doing great in Memphis. They may not want to trade him.

He's just a punk player. Or was.

See: last year when the Clippers played the Suns. He got into it with Amundson and threw a stiffarm-looking punch at him.

That, and I think the reason he hasn’t been able to play on one team for longer than a year or two is because he doesn’t play much defense and was too “me” concerned. He’s doing much better this year, and I think he’s found a good spot in Memphis. Good for him.
