In the last few years, did The spurs have a promising, cheap, young big prospect ?

Could be nice to kick some ass :ihit
This guy got injured last year and never play an NBA game.. and you call him a bust.. :ihit
As a fan you should wait before saying any stupidy and at least trust him and be confident on him until his 30 first games in NBA..
At speaking French, yes.Quote:

I was getting pretty down on Mahinmi, too. But after seeing him in the SL, that's kind of ridiculous. He's basically the same age as Thabeet, which means that he could have easily been playing in college this past season. If the Ian Mahinmi we saw in SL was playing against college kids, he would be kicking asses and taking names.
I had to stop and think about that. A lot of players need that third and fourth year of college ball to strengthen their game. There's no shame in that. The ones that need it and don't get it really struggle in the NBA, at least for a couple of years. I can hear Barkley now, "Lemme tell yuh, Kinny. He needit to stay in college and learn how tuh play tha game."
So Mahinmi wasn't ready for the NBA the minute we drafted him. Not many recent high school graduates are - and that's how old he was. And right now, he's the equivalent of a recently-graduated college senior. If he had just come out of a college program, and we were seeing him for the first time, we'd all be saying, "Hey, this kid might be able to contribute this year." And we'd all be happy that a fresh-out-of-college big man could possibly make the roster and maybe put up 8 and 6, and block a few shots.
It shouldn't matter whether he's been honing his game in college, or in Europe and the D-League. Remember how old his is, rather than looking at how long ago we drafted him. And then remember those young guys running around, and past, Fab last season. I think we have good reason to be hopeful about him.
there you go, fixed.Quote:

Hard to prove yourself one way or another while riding the pine in formal wear.
Because he's a lazy douche with zero bball iq. Or he's great but he never gets to show it.
Educated guess: Mahinmi is going to sign with an East Coast team next off-season.
He's got Raptor or Bobcat written all over him.Quote:

Dude, that's the unkindest remark I've ever seen about Manhinmi--or anyone else for that matter--on this site.Quote:

Well, I guess we can consider him to have been a total bust at this point - at least for the Spurs.
He was the second the Spurs declined his option. They didn't even bother to try to get any use from him. At least they didn't pay a bunch of money to trade him away like they did with Beno. Let's hope his change of scenery is as ineffectual as Beno's has been.
A real pity. I think he'll develop into a really nice rotation player if given 20-24 regular minutes a game, and it annoys me that Dallas will probably reap the rewards.
I was very surprised when the Spurs declined Mahinmi's option before last season, because the moment the FO did that he was gone - we could have had him dirt cheap for another year, giving him more time to develop. I would have signed his option, and then played him a lot early to rest Dice and Tim for later in the season and post-season.
I think this is a practice we should adopt - play the youngsters early in the season (for the first 2-3 months) to rest the vets' (esp. Tim, Manu, Dice) legs. Most teams are in disarray for the first 4-6 weeks of the season, and that would be a great time to blood our youngsters whilst using the vets sparingly. In other words, it's time we started using the true 15-man depth of the roster in a strategic sense across the entire season.
We are essentially a rebuilding team right now, at the same time as we are still trying to contend. It is time we realised that our older players don't need to play all 82 games (imagine how fresh their legs will be at the end if they've only played 60-65!).
Also, go and take a look at the rosters of the other teams around the league. The whole NBA is currently in a transition phase - many of the stalwart players of the last 15 years have disappeared and the league is now on average very young, inexperienced and athletic. How about we give our young crop of athletes experience early in the season when other teams are weak, and help rest our old blokes at the same time? Makes sense to me.
He never had the opportunity to play. Most players need time out there to develop. Last year he had a ridiculous PER (21.6!)*, admittedly in only 165 minutes (a very small sample size), and whenever I saw him play I thought he was pretty good (excellent against Houston).Quote:

I reckon Spurs fans will be bitching about losing Mahinmi in 2 years.

Thank god Dallas officially signed him..hopfully these stupid Mahinmi threads can finally be laid to rest.... but isn't 2million a bit much to pay somebody who's that retarded?
