Sure. We could do JR and Chris Smith for OJ Mayo and the rights to Todd Mayo.

Jr will probably have a better second half as he recovers from the knee injury but being out of NY may help the most.

Lettuce and tomatoes hold the Todd Mayo please.

So yeah, Mayo for JR would be a dream no matter how badly Mayo is playing.

If Woodson didn't enable JR as much as he does and sat him more often when he goes off the rails, Im guessing that we would see more of JR from last season. Woodson talked about accountability when he criticized Beno and gave JR a pass for the Houston game. Talk about a disconnect.

Woodson's handling of JR and the Knicks organizations handling of the Smith boys is bizarre. JR needs to be benched or suspended. The Knicks should consider using the stretch provision and waiving him. In the past there were positives and negatives with JR. Just negatives now.

Stretch provision? Drawing a blank.

It allows the Knicks to waive Smith and spread out the amount he is paid over a longer time period so that the cap hit isn't as bad annually.

Thanks, not as familiar with the inner workings of the cap as I should be.

I've wanted Mayo on this team for nearly 3 seasons, so I'd welcome that trade. The only thing is that I don't see the incentive for the Bucks. They have the 3rd lowest payroll in the league and will be dangerously close to being below the threshold of +/- $43 million, so I don't think they are as interested in saving money as an average franchise. And talent wise, I still think Mayo is the superior player despite his poor play this season, so I don't see them taking on that headache especially with a young and impressionable team.
