O.J. Mayo, one the more intriguing available free agents, is looking to sign a new deal within the next 10 days, and there are plenty of available suitors. Â Read more after the jump.
Saturday night Yahoo! Sports’ Marc Spears has tweeted that the Los Angeles Lakers,Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns are the finalists, while WEEI.com in Boston is reporting that the Celtics are also interested in Mayo, but that it would be contingent on finalizing a sign-and-trade deal for the newly acquired Jason Terry — a move that has technically yet to be finalized.
While no potential deals have been reported in terms of years and dollars, it could be the Bulls that emerge as the strongest contenders in the Mayo sweepstakes.
If the Bulls are successful, they would have an athletic guard in their rotation and add a much-needed ball handler to their backcourt with Derrick Rose’s future uncertain.
