Mayo is hoping to rejuvenate his career in Minny.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have struck another deal, completing a one on one player swap between spit fire combo guard Shabazz Napier and the sweet shooting wing man O.J Mayo. The trade was already approved by the CSL. Mayo is expected to strengthen up the wing position of the team which recently lost Thabo Sefolosha in a previous deal.
"We have a big hole right now in the wing position, particularly the SG spot so O.J should be a good fit. He is projected to be our 6th man coming in as we are keeping the starting unit for the meantime. We liked what O.J can bring to the table. He can shoot the ball, no doubt. Hopefully he can be consistent on that coz that would be his main role for the team." - GM rh0xxy.
This is the second deal in as many days for the Wolves who are looking to improve its chances for the ongoing CSL season. The Wolves are currently running first in their division with a 17-9 record, although just 2 games above the previous division leader Utah Jazz. The team has won 5 games in a row, and 12 of the last 13 games to volt back to the top of the Nortwest Division.
Meanwhile, Chris Paul has suffered a sprained wrist in the team's road win against Brooklyn. There is no time table for his return but physicians said he has to rest for 2 weeks at most.
