OJ Mayo opts out of Dallas deal, hopes for long term contract from Dallas

[jonathanlambert33]

DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks shooting guard O.J. Mayo said he would decline the player option for the second season of his contract, deciding to become a free agent for the second consecutive summer.

Mayo, who could have returned to Dallas for $4.2 million, said he hopes to work out a long-term deal with the Mavs.

"Getting something long term, locking something in is what I think is best for me," Mayo said Thursday after his exit interview with coach Rick Carlisle and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson.

hes not but in a weak market and joe dumars holding $22M+ hes gonna get a big offer and cuban will likely match.

Honestly I would say 4 years 28 million sounds like a good deal for Mayo.
