USC's O.J. Mayo was taken by Minnesota at No. 3 with Kevin Love of UCLA going to spots later to Memphis at 5 in the first round of the NBA Draft tonight (hey, it's in the a.m. in New York City right now, of course).
But I've learned from informed NBA sources that the Trojan and Bruin will soon be swapping NBA destinations.
According to the sources, Minnesota will send the rights to Mayo, along with current Timberwovles Marko Jaric, Greg Buckner and Antoine Walker, to Memphis in exchange for the rights to Love and current Grizzlies Mike Miller, Jason Collins and Brian Cardinal.
So maybe Mayo and Love can look each other up before the early morning turns to late morning in Manhattan, and exchange those hats they wore while shaking hands with David Stern Thursday night!
