Will Mahinmi play now that Bonner is injured?

[Tp9gospursgo]

Haven't seen him play, would like to at least see him in for a minute or two..

[blkroadrunners]

I really doubt it.

[duncan228]

McDonald has him on the Projected Inactive list for the Clippers game.

Also, they seemed to be quite 'aloof'

Common knowledge that Haislip has a decent chance of getting minutes before Mahinmi. Haislip has more of an outside shot than Mahinmi and has already suited up for one game.

[RiverwalkParade]

Hopefully Haislip does get his number called. would love to see the one time NBA reject take advantage of the opportunity to redeem himself. January looks like a favorable part of the schedule.

If this team gels over that time, is it time to put Bonner on the block? Would adding him back disrupt chemistry?

He has been playing at a decent level and probably has some okay value right now. Might be able to get something decent in return.

Bonner for LeBron.

[RiverwalkParade]

Not Lebron, but somebody that can play multiple positions, maybe a long 3? Don't know who would fit the mold but I don't think Bonner is going to be the key, defense will.

I really doubt it. Ian hasn't gotten any minutes this season and by now I think it is a foregone conclusion he wont be back next year. Too bad since I really though he could fulfill his potential as a Spur but he kept getting injured which delayed and finally derailed his stay here. IMHO

Haislip seems to be a more likely candidate or theo and the other bigs splitting Bonner's minutes.

And of course Finley will be back soon!

[bringbackmario]

Bonner's value has probably never been higher. He may draw some serious interest

[Ditty]

i would also love to see ian play over theo.

true I want this spurs bench to be young and powerful i hope theo is on the inactive tonight with Ian playing the 12th man and getting in the game espically if tonight should be a easy win

Oh thats right. I almsot forgot that Finley is often used to play both power forward and center on this team. Crap...

[SCdac]

Is Mahinmi even on the team??? It's a rhetorical question but it does feel like, now that his future is clear, Mahinmi is purely practice fodder for the rest of the season. Is the front office hesitant to play him for reasons other than skill level and inexperience? If we give him minutes and he turns out to be decent, are we sort of giving the league a preview of a cheap FA big for next season? Kind of feels like it, but who knows. Certainly doesn't feel like the Spurs are invested in him anymore, but at the same time do they not want to waive him and watch him get picked up by another team in this very season? Would we have Ian on our roster and use up on of our few spots, but purposely not do anything with him? Would we ever waive him, and if we would why haven't we yet?......... so many questions regarding Mahinmi.

[dbestpro]

Need another injury to free Mahinmi. Very possible if Theo gets more PT. He always gets hurt with extra minutes.

[loveforthegame]

Mahinmi will be lucky to get as many minutes as Hairston has gotten with Finley out.

[fyatuk]

Bonner being hurt should lead to Haislip moving up the ladder. Theoretically speaking, Mahinmi should move up if Blair or Ratliff gets hurt, but I doubt it.
