Can we get a James White update?
Ian has the tools to be a solid 3rd big on many teams. Just not this one.
Can anyone honestly say he's better than any one of our five big men? Tiago is substantially more skilled than Ian... and he can barely crack the rotation.
I can't blame the front office for not wanting to spend the $4M (or whatever it was with the tax hit) to keep a guy around who would never see the floor.
One of the great ST myths.
did you watch that season or the playoffs that year? Hill played basically no minutes after the ASB and wasn't nearly prepared enough. His minutes look that way bec. he played most of his minutes early on in the season.
as for the playoffs, i don't buy that the Spurs would've lost. and you don't know what you're talking about with regard to Stephen Jackson because no one knew much about him that year, i was just bringing it up as a possibility.
you going to explain why?

Simply put, it's not true.

edited to change 48 to 49
Hill played in 28 games averaging 14 mpg post-all star break. A slight drop-off, but not much.
Quit making up evidence to support your points.
Edit: Just saw Mel beat me to the point - kudos.
Well then my bad. I still think he should've played more though. And I don't buy that Mahinmi is a bad player.
Its not that Mahimni is a bad player, but I never could understand all the Pop hate for not playing/developing Mahimni, like Pop was wasting away a future all star in Mahimni on the bench. Maybe because the Spurs have been short of viable bigmen for the past few seasons, which also explains the angst over Splitter's development, but for a number of factors, Mahimni has never been anything more than a bigman project. Talented physically, but after several seasons, still nothing more than a backup big man. If Mahmin was still with the Spurs, he would never get off the bench, so hes in a good place with the Mavs.
The problem is he is not a good player either, yet...At this point in his career he is simply a 4th or 5th big on a NBA roster.
Hey since so many of you watch the Mavs games can you update me on how that Ian is ahead of Haywood declaration is working out?
Talk all the you want, Manny. I bet he closes out this game.
He's looking awesome with his 2 fouls and one turnovers and well, nothing else.
I guess Carlisle is stunting Mahimni's growth back like Pop use to.

Holy did Ian really foul out in less than 8 minutes in ing garbage time?!?!??!?!
Dude just fouled out in 7 minutes of play
Where are the internet GM gurus on this one?
pipe down stubby - 6 fouls in 7 minutes is pretty darn efficient. He must have had a bet with one of his teamates on whether or not it could be done.
They are all scrambling, trying to figure out how to blame it on Pop.
I actually love the way he plays, he might of fouled out this game, but he usually does a really good job when he comes in before Haywood in certain games.
I truely can't believe why this uncapable player deserved 5 pages in a thread.
Ding ding ding
