If we get the 5th or 6th pick, would you be down for a trade like this?

Knicks trade: #5 or #6
Nets trade: #10 and #21

Hmm considering Gordon or Mayo are available most likely.

If Mayo is available then yes. If he's been taken then its a no.

If Mayo is available, then I assume the Knicks would just take him. I think he'll go top 4.

If Gordon's there I'd strongly consider it

^ If Zeke was GM, maybe. Walsh knows he needs a potential star.

This doesnt happen.

I was extremely high on drating Mayo, but now I started thinking about the flipside.
He has been compared to a new Kobe or other star shooting guard(which is completely unfair), he has been compared to Chauncy Billups(who is a star PG, and completely underrated), which is also kind of unfair because he is not truly a PG.
He has been compared to a lot of players.
But, I was thinking about it, he may very well be the next Larry Hughes.
Very skinny, fast, but not lightning quick, very good defense, great handle, good playmaker, but very turnover prone, good jumper but shoots too many, can finish but would rather pull up, not really a SG or a PG, but has decent height for either, very poor shot selection overall, and at some times a down right ball hog.
Mayo seems more passionate about the game, so if he isn't injury prone, curves his shot selection and puts up numbers that are more consistent with Hughes standout years that is just fine.
But, if he turns out like Hughes himself, injured all the time, and a guy that only gives it his all during contract years and plays like crap the rest of his career, the Knicks could have him.
