Good move for the Bucks. Much more versatile than Ellis and will probably cost less.

OJ cares more about money than winning. That's just great!

with more versatile you mean: better three point shooter?
I think it's a wash between the two.

Mayo is a better shooter in general, but he's only that, a shooter. he can't create his own shot and is never attacking the rim at all.
also: if he isn't the 1st option, he'll mail it in effort-wise.

also: the term "monta ellis defense" should be named "OJ Mayo defense" if you watch him play ;)

Another great decision by Kohl and Hammond to 'go for it', and by 'go for it' I mean get the 8th seed and stay in basketball purgatory forever.

The 2014 draft class is right around the corner and they're about to spend Anywhere from $20-$25mil on Jennings and Mayo.

Great...

Being a Bucks fan is stupid. Illogical. I'm a SuperSonics fan in 2015

Mayo is a big upgrade over Monta Ellis. Having said that, this is a bad fit, and a franchise with no direction.

The Bucks are locked in on any guard with talent. Especially if he can't or won't pass and is not a team player. Additional bonus points if he doesn't put effort into his defense and has a poor reputation around the league.
