Mayo's Decision To Sign With Mavericks, According To Report http://sbn.to/Orm3XY by Tom Lewis he Dallas Mavericks made a couple of key offseason moves to bolster their backcourt by trading for point guard Darren Collison and signing free agent combo guard O.J. Mayo. 小牛暑假藉由交易到Darren Collison與簽約O.J. Mayo，補強了後場。 After four years in Memphis, mostly spent coming off of the bench, Mayo was looking to raise his game with several teams interested in his services. According to ESPN Dallas, Mayo sought the counsel of veteran guard Chauncey Billups to help sort out his decision. 在灰熊大部分時間都當板凳救火隊的Mayo，變成自由球員後就希望能提昇自己的地位， 而不少球隊也對他有興趣。根據ESPN達拉斯分站的報導：Mayo曾經向老將Chauncey Billups（老畢）尋求意見。 Billups suggested Dallas due to his past experience playing for Rick Carlisle in Detroit at a similar point in his career. 老畢推薦的球隊正是Mayo選擇的小牛，而關鍵就在於老畢當初來到活塞時，遇見的教練 Rick Carlisle（卡帥）。 "He said (Carlisle) is a great coach for me to help expand my game," Mayo said. Mayo坦承：「老畢說卡帥很棒，因為他能讓我進步。」 Billups, like Mayo now, was a No. 3 overall pick in his mid-20s who hadn't lived up high-lottery expectations when he signed with the Carlisle-coached Pistons in the summer of 2002. Detroit was Billups' fifth NBA team, and while he showed promise as a part-time starter the previous season in Minnesota, he had yet to prove he could be a premier point guard. 老畢的遭遇跟Mayo很像：以第三順位獲選，但當時還沒達到當初球評對高順位球員 的期待。而當老畢在2002年來到卡帥執教的活塞時，這已經是他NBA生涯的第五隻 球隊。儘管他先前在灰狼已經有進步的跡象，但他還沒成熟為最頂尖的PG。 Carlisle gave Billups that opportunity in 2002-03, when he started for a 50-win team that advanced to the conference finals. That was the only seasons Carlisle coached Billups, but Billups gives Carlisle credit for helping him become a five-time All-Star and one-time NBA champion who is now known as Mr. Big Shot. 卡帥後來給了老畢機會，而他也不負期望率領球隊拿到50勝，並打進東區冠軍賽。 儘管這也是卡帥唯一與老畢合作的球季，但老畢仍不吝感謝卡帥幫助他後來入選 明星賽五次、拿到總冠軍一次，並且擁有「Mr. Big Shot」的美名。 Mayo won't be taking many big shots in Dallas this season with Dirk Nowitzki remaining the first option in crunch time, but the Mavs will certainly benefit from Mayo becoming a threat to make plays down the stretch. 由於Dirk Nowitzki仍是球隊一哥，Mayo可能還不會獲得太多處理關鍵球的機會，不過 有了他的助陣，小牛對其他球隊仍是不可忽視的威脅。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 心得：看來老畢不當球員後，去當球管理職務應該也蠻適合的。 不過，這樣另類的資敵方式，不知快艇球迷會怎麼看待？ --
