Wow, I'm not excited about Ian being our center this next year like some of the rest of you. This is just makes us seem ever more desperate that we would bring over a guy that needs a year or 2 more of development.
This really sucks.
I'm excited about Ian, but I don't want to rush him in this season. All accounts I've heard have him 1-2 years from being NBA caliber, and he can probably develop his game better playing real minutes in France.

This is bad news if you ask me. It shows just how desprate the Spurs are right now. Gross.
exactly.
He's a Power Forward not a center.
spurs realize 1st round picks are pretty cool
If he impressed during practice and now has a "small" chance to make the team, how is that "gross"?
We do know one thing-- he's cheap! His salary is pre-set by the NBA based upon his draft slot in the first round- part of the reason he was taken by the Spurs in the first round- to guarantee a non-negotiable low salary when he came.
With an overly positive report from the Spurs mouth-piece that contradicts the reports from merely a month ago- probably means he's coming if Butler doesn't. Time to build him up to Spurs fans. So predictable.
he's already arrived in San Antonio?Mahinmi impressed Spurs coaches this week in practice
Practice photos, anyone?
I'm pretty sure the Spurs won't know anything about Butler and Elson regarding their respective team's final intentions until Day 7. It is a standard way to condition teams to respond by thinking twice about trying to sign-away their RFAs.
I agree that if the Spurs get Elson and Butler both, there is no room for Ian, even if he were deemed almost "NBA ready".
When Petro from the sonics was scouted, were the same judgements that are for Ian the same for Petro? Was Petro not considered ready?
@ Spurs fans now being down on Mahinmi being NBA ready.
Yeah, just horrible that the kid could be ahead of schedual.
Just horrible.
Doomed I tell ya.
Unless he doesn't need a year or two of development.
how can we sign him when his already sign with pau, unless we gotto pay out his buyout which is lame, when we shouldve sign him b4 he signed pau. this is what happens when ur playin the wrong deck of cards....
TDMVPDPOY
why dont you just go string up from the gallows and get it over with.
Christ sakes.....
I guess it depends on your defenition of NBA ready. I seriously doubt Ian is on any level of NBA ready other than ready to be a 12th man.
I could be wrong, but all the reports were that he was at least 2 years away and now he might make the team after the Spurs have had trouble in free agency? Yeah, maybe he's made a dramatic improvement but more than likely the Spurs are simply desprate.
i think stephen a smith is tpark undercover
What the , do you drink Stupidade?i think stephen a smith is tpark undercover
I don't imagine T Park yells as much.
We'll bring in Karaulov before we bring in this guy.
@ stupidade.
Nice job Tpark.
No problem.
It was an epiphany.
Its my once a year Kluby for making the forum laugh on purpose.
Not at all.I don't imagine T Park yells as much.
I can't stand Stephen A Smith.
Mahinmi always reminds me of 18 year old Andrew Bynum for some reason. Could be great, but still pretty raw. Bynum though has played in the NBA and I believe is learning from Kareem (?)... In general, I think a year in the NBA would give Mahinmi some decent experience. Wouldnt get the same PT as he would overseas obviously, but could be worth it... if he is showing legitimate signs that he is ready. If he's just not ready there's no reason to rush it. I hope
