"I'm not happy," Mayo said, "but at the same time, if this is what's best for the team, I'm all for it. If it betters our team situation, I've got to deal with it."

I haven't been this upset about the NBA, since I realized my favorite player Tracy McGrady would never return to his 25+ ppg self. For the first time in the 9 years I have been watching OJ Mayo showcase his ridiculous talent, this is the first time where I can honestly say I am disappointed in him.

He is not the next Kobe and that's hard for me to say because I was sure I found the next Kobe, someone going to be the Next Kobe, but I know for a fact it won't be OJ Mayo. Don't even see him getting on an all-star level even in prime doubt he would even be better than Eddie Jones.

To say, if this is what is best for the team then I got to deal with it, tells me all I need to know about a player and how good he will be I don't want to sound like Colin Cowherd, but it is true. I would expect something along the lines of give me the ball, and let me make a play if you want us to be better. That's show the killer mentality that every superstar in the making needs. Especially loosing your job to an inferior basketball talent in Xavier Henry who has proven nothing at the NBA level. Kobe would never stand for it, we all know Allen Iverson would never accept that. Both of them are true warriors mentally which is part of the reason they are so good and with comments like that I am ashamed of the title lilojmayo.
As of this of now I am no more an OJ Mayo fan. That's just weak.

Yeah I need to. I mean this would be different like I understand the whole PHX situation with Dragic and Nash. Nash is still a top 5 PG most still averaging a double double so a young fella like Dragic needs to just wait a few years. This would be different if Mayo was learning the game under Kobe's watch, or even Vince Carter i would understand with all his experience.

But come on your loosing your job to a guy who is younger than you has yet to score 15 or more in the NBA has proven nothing and your ok with it, come on that doesn't even make sense.

This is what i need, I have been this down again since I realized Tmac would never be Tmac again. I mean are the Grizzlies going to be better if OJ willingly comes off the bench and plays 30 minutes a top notch 6th man plays probably.

But it isn't about that. This is takes disrespecting ones talents to a new level and I am still in lost for words that Mayo is just accepted it without a fight.

Dude just needs a change of scenery word to SuperCoolBeas.

the bulls would be a good spot for him

I'm really surprised he lost his starting job. I understand sitting him and Randolph for being late, but he's being replaced by a "shooter" shooting 35% whose overall efficiency is in the toilet as well. What's the justification, I wonder?

And I wouldn't get all down on him for that quote. Maybe if you'd mentioned that he doesn't have the elite quickness but this quote is actually a credit to him. He said he's not happy about it (understandable) and then put his team first (yay).

The coach acknowledged that some would see the switch as a demotion for Mayo.

"Unfortunately, a lot of people will think that," Hollins said. "But to be perfectly honest, it's not the case. It's always difficult when you make these types of decisions because everybody is reading into it more than what they should."

Did you even read this part? Yeah, he's not the next Kobe, but I think it was foolish for anyone to have EVER thought that. OJ is still pretty good and has a chance (albeit very small chance) of becoming an all-star in the future.

So you're upset because he's trying to put a positive spin on it by putting the team first? Sorry, but you're an idiot.
