    i think pietrus would be a great successor to bowen, he seems to be rounding out his offensive game a little better as well. i don't have any idea how we could afford him or trade for him but it's a nice pipe dream.

    he doesn't play anymore in GSW, I'm sure they would be glad to get something, maybe a past draft pick or Barry?! :-) (he has 2 years left at around 2M$ + 1 qualifying offer at 3, this is something affordable I think...)

    A package with Rasho for Pietrus and ? (they need big)

    Saying Pietrus hasn't been playing in GSW is false. Before spraining his ankle March 8, he had been playing 25-30 minutes a game. It would take a lot to peel him away from the Warriors.

    Javtokas is likely in front of Mahinmi on the 'depth chart', so he comes over first. As young as Ian is, he can stand one or two more years of development.

    I doubt he could really reach his potential in SA due to the lack of playing time he will get. SA doesn't allow development, due to championship expectations.

    Did you develop Parker? No, he arrives and contributes offensively quite quickly. I don't expect Ian to turn into an offensive weapon before long for Tim. (as said Bruno, he only played BB for now 4 years...)

    What?

    I'm talking about your comment about the Spurs not playing new comers because they're always trying to win the le.

    Tony was a no body when he came to the Spurs. He was starting by the fourth game.

    Ian played yesterday against Paris, his stats are 14pts/13rbds/7to/3blk in 31 minutes but that's not the point of this post.

    A journalist from a San Antonio local TV channel was at the game, has filmed it and has made an interview of Mahinmi. You will have a report on Mahinmi in few days when the journalist will be back to SA.

    A scout from New Jersey was at the game too but don't conlcude that it was to evaluate Mahinmi for a trade this summer. There are some good prospects in Le Havre and Paris : Aldo Curti for Le Havre; TJ Parker (tony's brother), Robert Rothbart, Oleksiy Pecherov for Paris. anothe solution is that he was there to scout an older player for an invitation to a summer league.

    The source is a summary of the game made by Le Havre's website : link

    the only player that i probaly want from the nets is krystic, the other scrub players like RJ/VC/JK are off limits due to there overpriced tags.

    He's a first round pick, I would think if he's anywhere close to being NBA-ready he would want to start the clock on his rookie deal as soon as possible.From a purely developmental standpoint, he might be better off in Spain or some such place. I'm sure Ian's agent could avoid a Scola-like deal since he's already been drafted. This team could certainly use an injection of youth, though -- they could always send him to Austin for more PT in his first two seasons.
    If a player gets drafted but chooses not come to the NBA for several years while, I don't believe he is bound by a rookie contract. I could be wrong. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know.

    I am basing my thinking on Scola, who if I remember and have my facts straight, was asking for much more than a rookie contract.

    There is no rookie scale for second rounders. Ian was a first rounder, so he is bound by the scale, BUT his contract is also guaranteed money.

    That's cool. I'm looking forward to the report.

    Possibiliteis include:
    1. Nets are scouting someone else other than Mahinmi.
    2. Spurs are interested in a Nets player and are dangling Mahinmi. Pop has pined for Krstic since Thorn stole him in the draft.
    3. Nets are scouting Mahinmi to see if they want to offer one of their players for him (Krstic who they know Pop lusts for) in a trade.
    4. Thorn assigns someone to follow anybody leaving the SA airport and going oveseas to try to figure out who the Spurs are interested in.

    Seems like the Nets are always buzzing like flys around Spurs' scouts and players the Spurs are interested in drafting.

    Kristic is solid, but he is NOT a great rebounder (5.8 in 30 mins per game) and is not a shotblocker at ALL. I'd rather let Ian percolate for a few years and see what we have. You can never teach Nenad how to jump higher or run faster, but you can teach Ian to block out, rotate on defense and rebound. Mahinmi is a freak athlete in the KG, DRob, Amare class. He's 19 ing years old. Don't just toss that for another Serbian plodder.

    I prefer that athleticism and potential of Mahinimi too. But Pop is a win now worry later type of coach. He might figure he has two or three years of top flight ball left in Duncan and Ginobili and getting Krstic is maximizing those years while waiting for Mahinmi won't help in the TD and Manu window.

    Anyway it's just wildassed speculation based on a Net scout showing up in a game Ian was playing in.

    Exactly.

    You cant teach jumping or athleticism.

    Yes, it's higly unlikely that he was at this game for Mahinmi.
    Don't be traumatize by Rob Thorn.
    Maybe it was for a futur trade : Parker + Mahinmi + Salary filler for Jason Kidd

    3, he seems to have less troubles with fouls.

    I read game reports from Le Havre website and they said that Mahinmi dominate in the paint very often. I first think that they were quite biaised but it seems that it's right.
    Since the Christmas brake, Le Havre calls plays for Mahinmi. The result is that he is likely the player who draws the more fouls on him (5.6 fouls in 23 minutes) in French league. The only way to stop him is to make a fault.
