Why can't they just release him?

The fuck has happened to Mayo? Guy was a legit all-star for most of the season but has disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Last 4 games: 7 ppg, 25% FG, 5 TO

Guaranteed contracts for first round picks.

They can release him, they would just have to buy out his contract.

Shit like this is why the NBA needs non-guaranteed contracts like the NFL.

**WWF** · 12-30-2012, 04:34 PM

LOL, NFL Contracts are terrible.

**Notorious** · 12-30-2012, 04:37 PM

Not make all contracts non-guaranteed. But shit at least make some of them non-guaranteed.

Actually, I think the NBA can make contracts non-guaranteed, but majority of players will only accept guaranteed.

So Lopez is now averaging 18.7/7.

He leads all centers in scoring, ranked 15 in all NBA scoring and is 5th in most shots blocked per game.

Meanwhile all the talk is Deron struggling, JJ struggling but what about Lopez who is carrying the Nets and quietly living up to his contract

He really does deserve some all.star consideration and I wont be shocked if he gets in.

Only so many big men can get in. If KG does indeed get voted in, then we're looking at like two spots open at center.

Bosh
Lopez
Noah
Chandler
Horford
Varejao

Two or three of those guys are probably getting left out, so it should be interesting to see who makes it in.

**Red Viper** · 12-30-2012, 05:03 PM

Vaj won't make it.

**WWF** · 12-30-2012, 05:05 PM

Lopez doesn't deserve entry over Horford/Noah/Varejao.
