Now the thing is what do you fans want, would you rather have Iggy, Mayo, or neither?

Iggy is a better at everything except shooting, so I'd take him extremely easily.

Iggy is way, way, way worse in salary.

Yes, but he's way, way, way better on defense.

Mayo's defence is a little weird. His rookie season a lot of people were praising it and while he wasn't locking players down he was playing well enough to be considered good. After that it just took a nose dive.

I think it might have had something to do with the coaching change. Iavaroni seemed to like him more and his advanced stats look better as a rookie for some reason. His PER differential was only -1 instead of the -8.5 it has been this season, for example. It also looks like the ball got taken out of his hands a lot as his ast% went down but the amount his jumpshot has been assisted has gone up a huge 18% from then to now.

I know he's not perfect but I see a lot of the same things with him that I saw with Beasley. His team misuses him, he has a skillset the team could use and he's young/cheap with a familiarity already with the core of our team. I wouldn't sell the farm for him, or even give up Webster or Johnson, but if he can be had for cheap I think you do it.

there's nothing special about oj. he's always given empty numbers. a good game here, a bad game there, a mediocre game here. forget his high school days already.
