This Rumor if true may mean they maybe willing to move OJ Mayo. I been watching his play and believe he could become a more complete replacement for J Crawford. Also, OJ, Jeff, Pape & Kirk could let us
move Joe's ( ) contract.

Change in Team Outlook: +5.3 ppg, -1.4 rpg, and +1.2 apg.

why would the grizzlies do that trade?

They play better with Battier, who is a glue guy and good 3 pt. shooter. Gay is wonderfully talented but sometimes forgets where his team's bread is buttered: the 2 big men down low, especially Randolph. Plus, Mayo's been disappointing. Iguodala would greatly improve their athleticism.

It's an interesting prospect for MEM. For PHI, it's simple: open space for Turner and replace a super-athletic SG with a super-athletic SF.

Just go Mayo & Hamed Haddadi for Marvin.

Shoot me. NOW

Hamed Haddadi???
Another tweener guard?

I actually watched Hamed in the WBC and he looked good, even against the USA. He averaged 20 PPG(although he got like 20 FGA), 8.8 RPG, and 2.8 BPG. 7'2 265 looks damn good despite him being slow. Not saying he should just come in and be a legit starter, but he ain't that bad of a player. Great rebounder & shot blocker if not nothing else.

Mayo can just replace Crawford if he gets to expensive. Same skill set player, maybe even better scorer. I think he can play some back up point as well and distribute better than Crawford.

Marvin isn't getting anyone right now. I could stop there but I won't. Hamed is tall, but hasn't adjusted to the speed of the NBA and likely never will. I think Mayo's play has earned him a re-up in Memphis. I don't think the Gay/Iguodala rumor has any real impact on his situation.
