From SI - players on notice for next season ( http://nba-point-forward.si.com/2012...?sct=nba_wr_a1)

• O.J. Mayo, Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs think Mayo can be a star even though he’s nearly 25 with a résumé that clearly screams “nice role player.” And that’s fine! The league needs nice role players, and in Memphis Mayo showed a willingness to develop the non-glamor parts of his game — defense on and off the ball, running around screens for catch-and-shoot chances, etc. That stuff works in any context, and in Dallas, with Darren Collison and an army of combo guards, Mayo figures to get minutes and a chance to run some pick-and-rolls with Dirk Nowitzki. Ask J.J. Barea how much money Dirk can earn a productive pick-and-roll partner. Mayo has a $4.2 million player option for 2013-14, and though Dallas is saying all the right things about wanting to keep him, Mayo is surely hoping for a bigger payday. Would Dallas give him one in the event of an opt-out, squeezing its already tighter-than-perceived cap sheet for next summer?

RT @TyLawson3 Good game between Dallas and Portland. Good thing we didn't end up getting Dallas. Coach Karl lost his mind.
