Hmm...very good points, UD. It would be awesome if he stayed here and continued to play well for us. I see no reason why Mayo and even Collison can't be our backcourt for many years to come. I'm sure Collison's play will improve once Dirk gets here, I still remember the effect Dirk had with JJ when he was here. What I really want to see is OJ elevate his game up to the point that he earns his first all star berth. However, it's still very early and there's a lot of work to be done.
