They were offering that much for Ellis?...
How did we not pull something off for those too? Damn.
Right there with you man. If that part about asking for Monta straight up was true, it kind of drives me nuts that we couldn't offer a package of K-Mart and filler (for whatever aid they wanted, whether it be talent or cap-related).
Memphis is a team you would hope we were in contact with regardless of this package, but I didn't know Mayo was on the table. There'd been rumors about Thabeet before, and we obviously want him.
Mayo though, talentwise, would be a damn good complement to Reke. Athletic, is absolutely a playmaker and can play the point, shoots decently from 3, and can legitimately guard most 2s and 1s thanks to his athleticism. And this year, he's dialed back his tendency to chuck shots considerably and, though he's a little streaky shot wise, he's been a great all around player all season (read: love him on my fantasy squad).
Long story short, I hope this package is still available come summer, because I'd still like to make a run at it. 2 pieces that would fit beautifully. Well, there's nothing beautiful about Thabeet, but, you know...
