Some of the guys posting in this thread I remember vividly that they were the same ones who favored RMJ over Petrius a couple years back. For mostly the same reasons they dislike Mahinmi too. LOL.
Given a choice of Blair or Mahinmi, I take neither. Untill Ianny learns how to keep his fouling in check, he'll be a role player in the nba. IF he can learn how to manage his fouls, he'd be the clear cut winner as the starting center. Ianny has better size, better defense, better shooting, and can actually score around the rim with defenders around him, unlike Blair. Plus he can shoot free throws and his ceiling is higher.

On PTI, Dirk mentioned that the glasses he had on when they were celebrating were Ian's, and he went on to mention how well he thought Ian played in game six. Apparently, the Mavs have been happy with him.
7 pages and counting for a guy that has a chance to be a role player.
this makes no sense, if you are given a choice of Blair or Mahinmi you have to chose one, an option isn't "neither", it is one or the other.
you're an idiot.
I never said I had to choose one or the other, I was simply given a choice. Since I created the scenario it's my prerogative to say no to both.
On a serious note, I think Blair reached his ceiling as a player in his 1st year in the nba. I don't know why his growth stunted as a player, but I'm 80% sure he's not going to get better. He's not going to learn to shoot the ball to 15', or learn a few post moves so his shots don't continually get swatted, or get some better touch on those horrible looking floaters that have no chance to go in, or actually get quicker on defense. At this point he's as bad as Bonner is as far as being one-dimensional. At least in Blair's case he gives you that one dimension no matter what the cir stances. But in today's nba 1 dimension doesn't really cut it anymore even for bench/role players much less a starter IMO.
Right, you would rather play four against five than have to choose.
Great thinking, coach.
You dishearten me with your jump to a false conclusions.Right, you would rather play four against five than have to choose.

I don't think I implicitly stated the spot would not be filled by a more elaborate choice. In fact I implied no such thing. I explicitly rejected both at this point in time. I don't doubt the veracity of the premise your feeble pseudo-intellectual brain envisioned, but it severely lacks a cohesive, cogent quality.
Perhaps your rebuttals would be better served with a more ad-hominem abundant approach, the tenets of which are less contrained by pure logic and common sense.
This is ing re ed. I understand ian was the difference and why dallas won the le and we didn't. him and you!
With the emergence of Mahinmi Brendon Haywood and his fat contract might be traded?
The Mavs 1st priority is to resign Tyson Chandler.
lol emergence
I would think Cuban is exploring that option. Especially now that he's seen that Cardinal can come in and provide quality big-man minutes.
The one series that Haywood was golden against (the lakers) was due to his superior size (which was very helpful against Gasol/Bynum). And now that the lakers are probably fading into irrelevancy for the foreseeable future Haywood becomes even more expendable.
Hey, you just said you wouldn't choose either of the only two choices you gave yourself.
That's hilarious.
The fact you don't see how hilarious that is makes it more hilarious.
I'm glad you can find such amusement with your little word games that essentially add nothing to the topic at hand.Hey, you just said you wouldn't choose either of the only two choices you gave yourself.
That's hilarious.

I said if I was given a choice between the two, I would take neither. Nobody said anything about the cir stances of this scenario, and anyway since it's my scenario it should be assumed that I make the rules for it.
But congrats on your irrelevant (and faulty) conclusion.
You made the rules for your own game, gave up before you started, took you ball home and pouted about the people who watched you quit.
Tough .
Did the ground rules I laid out state explicitly that I must pick one or the other? No, they didn't.
Try to comprehend this abstract form of thinking for a second, as hard as it might be for you.
Given Option A or B, I choose the non-existent Option C.
Hey, at least this isn't a Pop bashing moment. Seems you're coming around.
lol @ u thinking I "forfeited"
More like introduced you to the concept of critical thinking.
lol critical thinking
I choose not to run because I don't need to run, I'm comfortable most intelligent people would side with my line of thinking as opposed to your knee-jerk false assumptions.
You guys have the same argument every time. You just move from thread to thread.
