Mayo

You just knew there was no way McHale wasn't getting his white boy...
This is from Simmons column today:

Right after I handed in this column, Chris Wallace and Kevin McHale hooked up for an eight-player mega deal that was the Atrocious GMs' version of the "Freddy vs. Jason" and "Alien vs. Predator" movies. Basically, Minnesota turned O.J. Mayo into Mike Miller and Kevin Love, Memphis took back bad more bad contracts than Minnesota, and Wallace cemented his reputation as the undisputed worst GM in basketball.
Needless to say, Mayo was probably a lot happier than he was at the 4:50 mark of this diary. Also, congrats to McHale for being the first GM to trade for three white guys in the same deal since Alex Hannum in 1965. And if you're scoring at home, I think McHale was Freddy and Wallace was Jason.

I can't believe this....but I can. Granted, I am not a big Twolves fan, but still.

I picture the front office guys in Memphis like those (3) Houston Astros guys from the Seinfeld episode. they have to meet with Costanza and talk about inter league play.

Anyways...I can just see those guys, after a couple 13-14 firewaters and around 12am....saying...."lets call that Son of Bitch McHale" "Let's make a trade with that Bastard!"

Glad I didn't waste anytime getting to know the team last year because you'd have to do it all over again.
