I bet it's a SNT. Wonder what their needs are. I bet they could use some DoJones!

Holy cow, that came out of nowhere. But I love it. Might not make us contenders, but we're definitely going to be much-improved over next year. I wonder if this involves the sign-and-trade that sends Terry to Boston? Possible that we send out Vince/Roddy to Memphis?

Posters on insidehoops are saying 1-year deal... can't find a source though.
Caplan saying it's multiyear.

Front office put together a really nice off season after the Deron disappointment. Cuban got perfect deals from every target, just incredible. I actually think this roster can contend, call me crazy:
PG Collison/West(Re-sign?)/Beaubois
SG Mayo/Carter/Beaubois/Cunningham
SF Marion/Carter/Crowder
PF Nowitzki/Brand/Wright
C Kaman/Brand/Wright/James
A surprising amount of depth and talented youth. 50+ wins and a noise maker in the West is not out of the question at all. If Dirk comes in fit and can score efficiently after a fall off last year this team will be very fun to watch.

Caplan says it's a multiyear deal. It's gotta either be a 2yr deal with a player option or part of a sign and trade. Either that or we just got one hell of a bargain. Of the remaining free agents, he was my second choice behind only Courtney Lee. Huge signing.

And we still keep cap flexibility for next year. Cuban is a genius.

Don't think it can be a SnT. Memphis doesn't have cash to sign him, I don't think.

Indeed I was a fool to be panicked early when the free agency period began.
I bow to the Dallas front office. I am not worthy.

Am told Mayo deal is multiyear, but not sure how long. Mavs had about $4M in cap space.

Woot!!!!
I'm actually pretty damn happy about the moves made within a week span, really good stuff. Since we will not see what this team will be like until things start, can't really say if they are contenders or not. But i really like the direction the team is going, the sky is the limit with good youth + veterans around Dirk.

I hope it is a S&T and the Mavs ship out Dojo or some other spare part.
Mavs got infinitely younger, more penetration, and athletic this offseason.

How does this affect the Delonte situation?

Isn't Mayo friends with Dwight? I wonder if there's a hidden angle to this as well.....

This is fantastic! I gave up on this possibility quite awhile ago. I really hope it is a multi-year contract. With the right coaching (and RC is the right coach) the ceiling for Mayo is through the stratosphere. Again, I really hope this is a multi-year contract.

Mayo's an average player. His PER numbers are nothing exciting but he fills a need and he could always grow up a little and blossom.

This. He's a starter and he's young. Not great but not bad to start with. Add the play with Dirk effect and we should have something.

For those of us who lean more towards Mavericks fan than NBA fan, can someone give a rundown of Mayo's game?

I don't think this necessarily seals the fate for Delonte in a bad way. I think you see Roddy play in his comfort zone as the 2 (off the bench). That still leaves a major need for a PG.

Athletic and strong. Needs to shoot better. Streaky shooter.

Yahoo Sports’ Marc J. Spears reported on Sunday that the free agent Mayo had also drawn interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls and Phoenix Suns. The Suns had been expected to make a strong push after losing out on restricted free agent Eric Gordon, whose offer sheet was matched by the New Orleans Hornets.
The 24-year-old Mayo earned $5.6 million last season with the Memphis Grizzlies, and terms of the deal weren’t immediately disclosed. He averaged 12.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game last season with the Grizzlies.
The Mavericks have claimed forward Elton Brand off waivers and signed center Chris Kaman and now Mayo after losing out on their biggest free-agent target, Brooklyn Nets guard Deron Williams. They also lost guards Jason Terry to the Boston Celtics and Jason Kidd to the New York Knicks in free agency.

To paraphrase "40-Year-Old Virgin," stop putting PER on a pedestal.
Maybe he's an average starting two guard, but he's much more than an average player. Willie Green and Anthony Morrow are average players. Mayo is a legitimate starting shooting guard, and honestly, that's a breath of fresh air.

Pretty sure the Mavs don't value Mayo as a player - they just want him for his contract, like Kaman...

Maybe Shark Tank is like porn for Cuban. It gets him all worked up and then he wants to go out and do some real business!
