The Mavs took Mayo this year on a flyer and marriage worked well for both sides. With an injured Dirk, the Mavs needed someone who would dominate the ball and put up shots and OJ generously obliged. Mayo can be absolutely delightful when he’s got the three going, but when he doesn’t it’s ugly. He’s opting out of the final year of his contract which means he wants to get paid more than the $4.2 million he was scheduled to make. He’s indicated that he wants to stay in Dallas, but are the Mavs willing to pay?

Possible Destinations: Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns
