You're right that Mayo isn't exactly a stabilizing presence in the locker room, but he is certainly talented and put together a fine season with Dallas and they got him for a decent (though not great) contract. If even marginally so, he's also a better fit with Jennings in their back court than Monta was and is an acquisition that I can't really fault given the direction they seem to be wanting to take their team.
I cant back you up on his fine season. I feel like Mayo is one of those players who can make the stats look OK, but does not really help the team win. He struggled to be consistent in Memphis, who got better without him, and then played pretty OK but not James Harden or Terry great on the Mavs, who ultimately missed the post season. Jenning may be on eof thise as well, but in any case I think the bucks are on the treadmill of mediocrity. He has been in the league long enough to grow up and make a difference, but seems unable to take that next step. I think this kind of player is the poster boy for what the cavs are trying to avoid. They are looking for players who can commit to being the best. Tristan, Dion, Kyrie of course.. I think that is the main property they are looking for.
