DALLAS  —  The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have signed free agent guard O.J. Mayo. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Mayo (6-4, 210) was the first round draft pick (third overall) in the 2008 NBA Draft of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mayo’s draft rights were later involved in a draft day trade that sent him, along with Marko Jaric, Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner, to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Brian Cardinal, Mike Miller, Jason Collins and the draft rights to Kevin Love. The  Huntington ,  W.Va. , native has played in 301 career games (181 starts) with  Memphis . He holds career averages of 15.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 32.8 minutes per game. Mayo has also proven to be durable playing in 301 of a possible 312 games throughout his four-year career. Mayo was named NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2009 and runner-up to Derrick Rose for the 2008-09 NBA Rookie of the Year Award after a...

It is tradition - Throughout NBA history the biggest of the BIG MEN have made their way to Los Angeles to wear purple and gold. Mikan, Jabar, O'neal, and Chamberlain seem to come to mind. He already lives in LA - Dwight Howard spends his off-season cruising, eating, and living it up in LA. That is going to be impossible if this deal does not get done. NBA Titles - No doubt he has a better chance with the Lakers to get a few titles than with Brooklyn, Houston, and Orlando. It is a Laker tradition. Steve Nash & Kobe Bryant - Howard will finally be around veteran guys that can absorb some of the spotlight. Their leadership would help him fully develop into a global star. Heir to the Throne - Kobe plans to retire in two years. By that time, Dwight's star power should be in another galaxy. Perfect timing to be the next all-time great "Laker" in the franchise's rich history.

        The former New York Knicks point guard, Jeremy Lin, is currently a free agent, after having a "Cinderella" type of year! He came out of know where and got his chance to start for the Knicks in mid-season, and shined! He started out averaging over 20 ppg, then once teams starting adjusting to him, and his play style, he only scored about 14 ppg.                                                      The 23 - year old Lin has a decision to make. The Houston Rockets have offered him a 3yr 25 million dollar contract, but the Knicks have until midnight tonight, July 17, to offer him a contract, or he will most likely end up going to the Rockets. The Knicks have recently signed point guard Jaso...

The Chicago Bears and Matt Forte agree to 4 year deal that totals $32 million dollars. Ray Rice gets a 5 year deal from the Baltimore Ravens that totals $40 million. The Rice deal will pay him $17 million the first year and $25 million over the first 2 years. Both RBs expressed their displeasure with the franchise tags placed on them by their respective teams. They both planned not to show up any team activities until the deals were done. Now, we know who is going to picking up the tab for a few dinners. Expect more deals to come including the Ravens Ed Reed and QB Joe Flacco, Maurice Jones-Drew, Derrelle Revis, and more. (To sponsor this post and more click here)

The Pittsburgh Pirates met their match today when they traveled to Milwaukee to face the Brewers. On the mound for the Pirates today was A.J. Burnett, their star pitcher that came over from the New York Yankees. Burnett had won nine consecutive games, despite the no decision he had on july 8, against the Houston Astros. On the other side the Brewers had Yovani Gallardo, who has had a decent year with a record of 8-6.                                                 You would think by looking at who's pitching and at both lineups, that the pirates would have an easy win. But think again. The Pirates struck first blood as Andrew McCutchen hit a solo shot off of Gallardo, to get his fifth home run in four games. Despite the home run Gallardo had a very solid performance striking out a career high of 14 out of  the 17 Pirates who went down on strikes. The Brewers we...

Drew Brees gets a new deal from the New Orleans Saints that sets new NFL record; $100 million dollar contract with $60 million guaranteed. After Roger Goddell made his own NFL history with the punishment of the Saints organization do to the "bounty-gate" scandal, the Saints decide to make history of their own by signing their franchise quarterback to  record breaking deal. Drew Brees was very vocal about not starting the season under the franchise tag before the suspensions were levied against the GM, head coach, and players; but the talk got even louder once the hammer came down. The Saints faced a season of turmoil after the punishment was laid down. Ironically, now a quarterback benefits from the Saints defense targeting to injure quarterbacks. Brees himself was a victim of rough play in the last year of his Chargers contract that led many experts to say he would never play at a high level again. He was damaged goods. It was that reason alone that the Saints were able ...

There has been a lot of trade talk concerning the Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard. The Houston Rockets are the latest suitor trying to close in on getting Howard. Originally Howard was wanting to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets, but unfortunately with the re-signing of Deron Williams, and the landing of former Atlanta Hawks star Joe Johnson, the Nets didn't have enough money to bring Howard into the mix.                                        Houston has reconstructed a trade that would work for both squads. With the Magic having to reconstruct their whole team, the Rockets will possibly be bringing in four other Magic players as well. The Rockets have already released Luis Scola to clear more cap space so the trade can happen.                           ...

The NFLPA decided to finally do more than just talk. The formally file a lawsuit against the NFL, specifically against Roger Goddell's iron fist. Goddell delivered the biggest punishment ever to the New Orleans Saints for their involvement and cover-up of their alleged bounty program. Now the public will be able to see the evidence presented to Roger Goddell that warranted such a punishment.

Jason Terry is excited about the possibility of joining the Boston Celtics for the upcoming season. Talking with Terry we learned that Mark Cuban did call him to inform him that the Mavs will not offer him a qualifying offer. "He called me to say that the Mavs will not be able to offer what any other team could. We will not offer you a deal", says Terry. "Boston will be a good fit for me". Terry is currently focused on his daughter's AAU team as they try to win a National Championship in Orlando. Full interview with Jet will air on Tuesday's show.

Words are only words...right. After Steve Nash gave a radio interview saying that he was "old school" and thought it would be to hard to wear a Lakers jersey, he will now join the team next season. Nash, a two-time NBA MVP, will replace Ramon Sessions who opted out of his final year to pursue free agency. This will definitely help the Lakers stay title contenders in the Western Conference. Nash turned down a lucrative deal from his home country Toronto Raptors of $36 million for the same 3 years. Lakers acquire Nash through sign and trade with Phoenix using a trade exception from Lamar Odom's deal. Nash was also being pursued by his old team the Dallas Mavericks, NY Knicks, and Miami Heat also.

Deron Williams is about to have the biggest week of his career. The Mavericks, who have put all the eggs in one basket, get the first try to sign D-Will. Representing the Mavs will be Rick Carlisle, Donnie Nelson, and Michael Finley. Dirk and Mark Cuban are both out-of-town. This process started over a week ago with Jason Kidd golfing with Deron in the Hamptons. The Nets best chance may be to make the trade for Dwight Howard before Deron arrives on Tuesday.
