by The Sports Diva , TSD Magazine Minnesota? Memphis? Minnesota? Memphis? Well at least we know NIKE likes you. Before the draft started, before anyone knew what team's roster O.J. Mayo would be on, NIKE knew they wanted him . Mayo will be included in Nike’s advertising campaigns and he’ll wear a customized shoe that could be released in the market he plays in or at a Nike specialty ...

Well, I must admit that this was the best draft night in Grizzlies history. Not just because we got my favorite player in the draft, O. J. Mayo, but because for once the GM of the Grizzlies was active and aggressive. My continued faith in GM Chris Wallace even in the face of the unwarranted criticism of the Gasol trade has been rewarded in spades baby. We freaking got a player with some ...

Two years ago they made the mistake of shipping out Brandon Roy before he had ever played a game for them. They got back Randy Foye. Exactly. So when the Timberwolves took O.J. Mayo with the third pick, as we predicted here at LBS , I wasn’t too surprised. I just really couldn’t figure out what Minnesota’s plan was; they have just a group of players that play the same ...

In another draft day trade the Memphis Grizzlies sent Donte Greene to the Portland Trail Blazers for Darrel Arthur and a second round pick next year. Earlier the Grizzlies traded the draft rights to Kevin Love to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the draft rights to O.J. Mayo.

The Grizzlies acquired OJ Mayo last night. It's not the homerun that everyone was hoping for, but it's also not the usual crap we've come to expect.

The chances are great that he'll be better than Kevin Love. The ...

Beware the grizzle? I'm not there quite yet (something about a 20-win season causes any unbridled optimism to be quickly put in check), but color me more-than-mildly intrigued. As professed before, I am not a rabid NBA hoops fan. I'd be lying to your collective faces if I claimed to have a deep and profound understanding of the Memphis Grizzlies, or boast those unique insights into player ...

Two league sources told ESPN.com that the Wolves have reached an agreement in principle with the Memphis Grizzlies that will send the draft rights to Mayo, Marko Jaric, Antoine Walker and Greg Buckner to the Grizzlies in return for the draft rights to Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins.

TONY BLOGS correspondent Gerry Harris told me earlier that he would have liked to see Memphis get OJ Mayo, pairing him with Rudy Gay for an electrifying combo.
