240 lbs would be ideal.
Agree. Pop is gonna half to force feed this kid minutes and live with the result, just like he did with Tony.

he has plenty of time this offseason to make 240
Less the physical stature.
Mahimni > Dwight
NFL teams often put their rookie qbs out there on the field to get real game experience. at least Mahimi wouldn't be getting tackled by 300 lb. behemoths trying to take his head off.
So what if he fouls out. He's got six fouls worth of experience--and maybe he intimidates the out of some folks coming into his turf.
Let him play and learn.
You made ME want to move to Europe now.
Problem is, there's no one in Europe making anything close to that kind of salary. And long-term contracts are non-existent in the Euroleagues. And then there's the matter of endorsement $, which is how the LeBrons and Kobes make their real $.
i dont doubt it.
I hope all this hype isn't for nothing. I really want this guy to workout for the Spurs.
"Mahinmi has the potential to be an All-Star,"
Man if we could manage to land Diop to go along with Mahinmi... we will be set...

Not a bad idea.
Diop is even more offensively limited than Oberto. I dont think the defense was a problem.
Diop isn't going to solve any of our problems. I don't understand the fascination with him. As others have stated, he would probably just takes minutes from Ian. I'd rather have Kurt for another year and try to develop Ian and possibly another young big before taking on Diop. Money for Diop should be used on a wing player instead. Azub, Matt Barnes, Pietrus, JR Smith, even Artest, should all be on our radar before Diop.
Mahimni will be an all star someday. He's so fun to watch and he loves to flush it down the rim every chance he gets
I't time for Timmy to play more center. True centers are hard to find. Mahimni might find playing PF an easier adaption. Regardless we need a #2 who can allow Manu to rest more. At times Pop was watching to clock to see how fast Manu could enter the game
Then timmy wont make the all star game or at least start.
i think just the fact that diop will be an instant upgrade over our current centers (kurt, obie) makes him a valuable addition. plus who can forget his D on duncan, if he can duplicate other great defensive performances on other centers/pf, it would do us wonders as well.
Solid rotation guy is all you need for next year
That is why I think pairing Hibbert with Ian would be nice, only if we can get a guy like J.R. though.
i saw him play down here in the RGV..it was the first home game for the vipers and i was impressed with what i saw..he's got a long wingspan...and was the best player in the building
I know this is probably going to be a yes, but is he playing in the Summer League again? I know its a yes, but just want confirmation.
[QUOTE=CosmicCowboy;2571872]Let me give you a scenario.
Obama DOES get elected this fall and with a Democratic congress pushes through the taxes on the "rich" they have been salivating over for years...lets hypothetically say the kick them from 40% to 60%...by definition, basketball players are "rich"
Lets say that the dollar drops another 10% against the Euro...
It is VERY conceivable that a talent like Le Bron James could come through and his after tax net on a rookie contract would be a little over $700,000 a year.
Lets say Minnesota gets the top pick next year...
A Euro team could very easily come in and offer him the equivalent of a 10-15 million a year AFTER TAX contract for whatever term they want...
I can just imagine THAT conversation..."you can go play on a TY team for $700,000 a year in ing MINNESOTA and freeze your ass off in a ty town with a ty economy or you can move to a cosmopolitan European capital on an established championship caliber team and make 20 times what they are offering you..."
Oh Yeah, did I tell you about all the hot pussy we have over here?[/QUOTE
From espn.com:
"Brandon Jennings, who signed a letter of intent to play at Arizona, is looking at the unprecedented option of playing overseas next season to get ready for the 2009 NBA draft if he's not eligible to play for the Wildcats next season.
Jennings told ESPN.com that he is exploring the possibility of a professional basketball career. Jennings' mother, Alice Knox, has retained an attorney, Jeffrey Valle, to help look into the possibility that Jennings could play professionally in Europe while he waits to become eligible for the 2009 NBA draft."
I think it's inevitable that this will happen more in the upcoming years.
