Mayo involved in 8 player deal to Memphis



I guess the "rivals" swapped teams.

Memphis also received guard Marko Jaric, forward Antoine Walker and guard Greg Buckner in exchange for the draft rights to forward Kevin Love (fifth overall), guard/forward Mike Miller, forward Brian Cardinal and center Jason Collins.

The Minnesota Timberwolves sent #3 draft pick O.J. Mayo along with guard Marko Jaric, forward Antoine Walker, and guard Greg Buckner to the Memphis Grizzlies for #5 draft pick Kevin Love, guard-forward Mike Miller, forward Brian Cardinal, and center Jason Collins.

So the lineups of each teams should look something like this:

T-Wolves: C Al Jefferson, PF Kevin Love, SF Mike Mil! ler, SG Randy Foye, PG Sebastian Telfair.

Grizzlies: C Darko Milicic, PF Hakim Warrick, SF Rudy Gay, SG O.J. Mayo, PG Michael Conley.

Something like that. But I don't see either team getting anywhere fast. Plus, they are in the packed Western Conference, so neither of them will probably make it to the playoffs for a couple mor years.
