Can Mayo Succeed and Still Fail?

By Chip Crain On August 10, 2012 · 7 Comments · In August 2012

So many comments have been made to me lately about what would happen in Memphis if O.J. Mayo goes back to scoring 18 or more points a game in Dallas.

I always respond to the question with a question: what if Mayo scores all these points and the Mavericks miss the playoffs?

Let me clarify something. I fully expect that, given the minutes and opportunity, Mayo will be quite capable of scoring 20 points or more in Dallas, Memphis or [...]

What Does Mayo Leaving Mean?

By Chip Crain On August 8, 2012 · 10 Comments · In August 2012

O.J. Mayo is no longer a Memphis Grizzlies player. That is known.

What is not known is what effect that will have on the Grizzlies going forward.

It is also known that the Grizzlies relinquished their rights to match any offer for Mayo.

Kevin Love is [...]

I’ll be honest — I don’t know what is happening or what will happen, although I believe that the trade is likely to take place. Granted, I don’t know that it [...]

Mayo to Dallas

By Chip Crain On July 17, 2012 · 31 Comments · In July 2012

According to O J Mayo’s personal twitter account, later confirmed by Marc Cuban’s, O J Mayo has signed a contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

This is good news for Mayo who has been traveling around the country looking for a place to play this season.

Memphis is losing their first player considered a superstar. Regrettably Mayo never developed into that type of player here in Memphis.

Jerryd Bayless: Best Free Agent Signing?

By Red Coleman On July 16, 2012 · 9 Comments · In July 2012

The morning after news broke about the Memphis Grizzlies agreeing to terms with former Toronto Raptors’ guard Jerryd Bayless, Chip and I were discussing what a quality move it was. Then Chip asked an excellent question: “Is Bayless the best free agent signing the Grizzlies have ever made?”

While you can make the case that other players have become great signings after the fact — think James Posey and Tony Allen — in terms of a high-caliber player who fills [...]
