I was originally really high on Mayo, before the rumors started about Memphis possibly shopping Gay, to re-sign Mayo. The more I think about it, I would be really happy to see Fields matched, Mayo signed and a package of players (ie: Calderon, JJ, Amir/Davis) traded for Iggy.special1 wrote:
Imagine this wing rotation!
Starters: Iggy & Mayo
Bench: Kleiza (could play some at PF, with Amir/Davis at C) & DeRozan & Ross

I'm pretty sure we'd lose DD to the 76'ers if we traded for Iggy. which I'm fine with, especially if our starting line up is:
Lowry
Mayo
Iggy
Bargs
Valc
Christ that's a line up!
i8theball.com it's a website...about, you know....basketball.
if James harden is available I'll throw everything we have got. I will try to make him our franchise player and I suspect he will thrive in that role under Casey. As far as I am concerned everyone is expendable for a player like Harden.
I'd like it. Iggy provides perimeter defense and both he and Mayo provide offense, both by driving to the basket and with outside shooting. If they got Mayo signed, it would make giving up DeRozan easier to deal with, in a trade for Gay or Iggy.
I also mistakenly included Fields in my post, but corrected it to be Ross.
Peitrus sucks
Whoa where did all these posts come from?
No offense but I don't understand the fascination with OJ Mayo. I really don't. We don't need a SG, and if we did, he's not what I'm thinking of.

If the Knicks match the offer for Landry Fields, where does that take us in terms of cap space? I'm seeing some OJ Mayo calling in here, I just can't imagine how the Raptors would even get him. Ideally, I would love to have Mayo in the team. He's gritty defensively, can knock down the shot & can be a secondary ball-handler.
I don't think we have seen the best of him, especially since the Grizzlies were so loaded inside, it took away a lot of driving space for him. What I don't like about him is he is inconsistent & a chucker.

They could offer Mayo the $6.3M that would be going to Fields. If they dumped any players via trade or amnesty, they'd obviously be able to offer more. I wouldn't necessarily like Mayo on his own, but if Mayo and Iggy were both added, I think that would make for a stacked and well balanced lineup.
how about Mike Dunleavy
Free agents!
Free agents only!
Free agents only please!
Advanced stats love Iguodala, and so do I.
I'll take a 17/8/7.5 guy all day every day.
Throw in that he's a top 5 defender in the league, and I couldnt be more sold.
He's a steal at his salary, so don't bring salary into it, imo, unless you think PPG is the be all end all stat(It isn't.)

It'll show you a side by side comparison of Gay and Iguodala.
how about bring back Hedo Turkoglu
Same feeling. He's got talent, but he's never lived up to his potential. There was always talk of him becoming an all star type player. Maybe he still can, but I just don't see it.
Perhaps it's because an old NBA 2k game had his potential listed at A+, so I've been programmed to think he should be better by now.
Walking like I'm already there.
I guess a good plan B would be OJ Mayo. So, we can either move demar to SF or maybe include him in a package that would get Gay or Iggy. But i'm also fine if we end up with fields. I think they'll make the 8th spot but lose in the first round. Hey, i guess i'm just an optimist.
I would take a look at the following young guys for a cheap deal... The bigger names aren't going to sign in T.O.
CJ Miles
Devin Ebanks
Donte Green
Anthony Randolph
Bill Walker
DJ White
I forgot about the amnesty clause. Of course, that is another potential $10M in cap space even if Fields' offer is matched. I have a feeling the Knicks will match the offer for the same reasons why we would want Fields + the idea that an expiring contract in his third year for someone who still wouldn't be considered in his prime.

The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.
Colangelo missed out on the best free agent value player the Raptors had a chance at. Lou Williams. Now I say they go after Randy Foye and if that fails CJ Miles or Shannon Brown since we have no shot at Lee , Mayo, or Rush(GS will not let him go)
Did you even watch the playoffs?
