Keep in mind Bird almost had Mayo twice for very reasonable deals. Just think if Mayo signs there
They have cap space to get a deal done if they renounce some FA's and don't extend QO's to a few and make 1 trade. So I'll call it Mayo will be a Pacer this summer as will D-12 a Rocket.

I don't think they're going to have much cap space at all. I'm sure they're looking to resign West and his cap hold/new contract will eat up all that space. Of course, Mayo shouldn't command anything more than the MLE anyway so he could still end up there.

I remember hearing about that; some deal structured around Josh McRoberts and the jackass GM under Bird demanded a 1st round pick, which caused it to fall through. I do suspect they'll go after Mayo and lose Augustin but I don't see Mayo accepting a bench role. Maybe they move Granger and slide Stephenson to the bench instead.
