The Dallas Mavericks took a chance on G O.J. Mayo this past off season when they signed him to a relatively small two year deal. The deal had a player option for the second year which would have paid Mayo $4.2 million but this morning Mayo declined the option and will become a free agent. Mayo started the season strong but tapered off towards the end of the season causing Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle to grow frustrated.

First 61 games: 17.4 points per game, 46.2 percent from the field, 42.4 percent on 3-pointers
Final 21 games: 9.3 points, 39.9 percent from the field, 33.3 percent on 3-pointers
