Maverick Carter, O.J. Mayo’s marketing agent, confirmed this morning that Mayo has signed a four-year deal with Nike.
Mayo is the first of the high-profile draft picks who will be drafted on Thursday, to have signed a deal. Carter would not comment on the financial terms of the deal.
“It’s a great deal,” said Carter, who also worked with Mayo’s new CAA agent Leon Rose on the shoe contract. “This is the best company for him. There was discussions with other brands about giving him more money if he was drafted into a bigger market like New York or Los Angeles, but Nike showed they really wanted him because they didn’t care what market he was in.”

Will some of the big names involved in trade rumors have new zip codes by the end of the night? What about O.J. Mayo?
