Great news
With Spurs current salaries, paying Mahinmi 80% instead of 120% hasn't a big financial impact. If Spurs do some specific moves, it could have a big financial impact. I don't think Spurs will give him less than the max because there is an unlikely scenario where giving him the max could put them above the tax.
Mahinmi would have likely sign for 80% but it's too the case for other first round picks. Not doing the customary could hurt Spurs in the future : if Mahinmi pans out, I'm sure he will remember how Spurs have low balled him when he signed his rookie contract.
Incentives to give him less than the max aren't likely big enough to take this risk.
Great news
My avatar is Mahinmi and Bruce.
If the Spurs do sign Marcus Williams, that gives them a full 3-deep roster.
Check youtube.com..theres a couple of videos of him.
Awesome. I would rather see the Spurs have a hand in developing him over the next year with the Toros than have him playing off in Europe.
No, I don't know why he has a UPC on his arm. Maybe that's how they track foul calls over there or something.

I gotta admit that was funny.
A future look at practice in 08-09?

Mahinmi is in white, jersey number 14. Enters around 2 minutes in and plays until about 6:40, then plays again after the 10 minute mark.
first round draft picks have rulesYou don't think the Spurs could have leveraged themselves down from that number? With the current situation, the Spurs could have told Mahinmi's agent to either take the -20% or GTFO
Spurs Team - Jackie Butler + Ian Mahinmi = win.
Fantastic. Hopefully this is a case where investing in potential pays off.
if the spurs did not give him the max and he blows up when he is a fa he will bolt
Let's hope he doesn't lose his starting job to Anthony Fuqua.
With Mahinmi, there are 9 French players in nba.
lets hope he doesnt get hurt in training campLet's hope he doesn't lose his starting job to Anthony Fuqua.
and lets hope he plays well enough to not have to be sent down to Austin.
if he does he will be playing with tp
Nice!!! Maybe Tim can teach him some fundamentals...
I want him in austin playing not being on the bench as a 12 man
I just do not see him being the first big off the bench yet
maying tp can throw him some alley oops since james white is no longer a spur!
Do you think that Toros being owned by Spurs will change the way they draft ?
I guess that NBDL teams try to draft players who will help them to win games.
Will Austin draft players who will help them to develop Spurs prospect (like a solid pass first PG) and players with the greater nba upside, instead of drafting the best players ?
Is winning games still a priority for the Toros ?
they are having a press conference for this dude
cool
