Jul 15, 2012, 11:32 PM | Updated: Jul 16, 2012, 12:58 am

O.J. Mayo completed his visit with Phoenix Suns’ brass over the
weekend
, but it doesn’t look like the two will match up unless
Mayo’s price tag goes down.

Arizona Sports 620’s John Gambadoro tweeted Sunday the Suns weren’t
comfortable with Mayo’s asking price.

The Memphis Grizzlies free agent was the third pick overall in the 2008
NBA
draft but held a bench role with the team for the past two seasons.

In 2011-12, Mayo averaged 12.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per contest in 66
games.
