Ian is not a career bust, he's a season bust. It's still too early. I'm givn him 1 mo season.
When Ian finally plays I think fans will be happy. The real head scratcher is going to be next year with an aging Kurt Thomas on the squad. That second year on the contract is going to be more of a hindrance than Ian, who at least has some trade value.
I'd cut Ian some slack until he's on the court. It's not like he isn't DYING to play.
but i still prefer Ian 'Black Milicic' Mahinmi
oh, and i didn't make that up
any word on Ian's MRI?
I've given up on this guy. He isn't our saviour.
we are in the mood to celebrate a win over the miami heat, you bump this up to change the mood? this......
As of now, he's more folly than savior.I've given up on this guy. He isn't our saviour.
But it's way to early to give up on him - even if doesn't play this year.
How can you give up on him? He is just a kid!I've given up on this guy. He isn't our saviour.
George Hill, rookie PG-age 22
Anthony Tolliver, rookie bigman-age 23
Malik Hairston, rookie swingman-21
Ian Mahinmi, drafted in 2005, spending more than a season in the Spurs system, is only 22. No way in you give up on last year's best D-League player, who isn't hurting you by not playing as of yet, when he is only 22. Absolutely absurd. Good thing you aren't in charge, or the Spurs would have dropped Hill and Hairston after the first couple of games in the SL.

I find it funny that anybody would call him a bust..
he was the 28th pick, how can he be considered a bust?..
I find it funny that people continue to attempt to combat those bashing Mahinmi with something so alien to them as logic.
If I had a dollar for every time that i said the same thing....
Ian "the French uette" Mahiminiminime however you spell his last name
Is Mahinmi practicing? The last practice video I saw had him going through two-on-two drills.
I was expecting to see him play soon.
I wouldn't hold your breath on Mahnimi.
Last I heard is that he is going to LA to get a 2nd opinion. I wouldn't expect to see him in the Silver and black this year."There is still some blood in the ankle and nobody understands why." said Mahinmi. "I'm feeling better but it's time to settle that. It has lasted too long"
I would have believed you if you said that a week ago.Last I heard is that he is going to LA to get a 2nd opinion. I wouldn't expect to see him in the Silver and black this year.
Wow breaking news...
Mahinmi has practiced (without contact) one week ago.
He is also saying that he is feeling better. I guess that the ankle is quite fine but Spurs' medical staff is puzzled by the blood in the ankle.
The doctor in LA should be the one that has done the surgery for Manu. I guess Spurs' staff are waiting to see what he will say about the bleeding.
Best case would be that the bleeding is nothign serious and that Mahinmi is cleared to play again.
Worst case, would be a surgery which will mean the end of the season for Ian.
Is Ian walking to LA from San Antonio?
How long does it take to go to LA and get a 2nd opinion?
Key word: Airplane
+1
When was the second opinion supposed to be happen? And I hope it's nothing serious. Maybe Pop goes CIA and plays Ian heavy minutes against the Lakers, to see how he handles it.
P.S. Don't flame me, I know it won't happen, it'd just be cool to see. It would also be nice for Pop to go all out and play Oberto over Toll(if he is still here), If Fab is healed I don't see why he hasn't been playing lately, over than giving Toll repeated chances to make his case..
End of the season? His season never started.
Spurs are maybe the NAB team with the less coverage and Mahinmi is an end of the bench unknown guy.I won't be surprised that he has still seen the doctor in LA and that there is no report about that.
The only case, when you will have for sure a report is if he has a surgery. So don't be upset to have no news because if you get news now, it likely will be bad ones.
Bruno, you are a wise, wise man.
This encapsulates the problem with many fans in this thread, and with the instant gratification society we live in.I've given up on this guy. He isn't our saviour.
1. You've given up on a 22yo player who hasn't played (meaningful minutes) in the NBA yet!?
2. Who said he was "our saviour"? Why have expectations? Try waiting until he actually plays before you start labeling the guy.
To all of you who have said something along the lines of the post quoted above, get a grip, seriously.
Ian is no savior. He might be able to contribute. He seems frail, and very foul-prone.
The whole concept of saviour is naive, inane.
