You should be stripped of your Malik Rose fandom card. Mahinmi at worst is someone like Boniface N'Dong, Andre Brown, Dwayne Jones or other players who didn't even make it to the NBA.
I've watched every Mahinmi clip available on the internet and there's no way to judge whether he's even an NBA caliber player. Being able to run and jump isn't enough to make the NBA.
mahinmi at best could be another stromile ing swift.
ya but were not asking ian to be a star...just somebody who can block and rebound....
you in people are out of your goddamn gords.
MAHINMI COULDNT GET OFF THE BENCH IN FRANCE.
NOT HELD BACK.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY!!
O
MCFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mahinimi plays hard...this should be obvious...in every video clip I have seen of him...he plays harder than any other guy on his team.
He can jump out of the gym.
He's improved in the areas the Spurs asked of him...better than Butler has. And his skill set is one more coveted by the Spurs.
The Spurs asked both of them to get into shape...Ian did, Jackie didn't.
That matters to the Spurs...it easy to get to become a Spur...but it's hard to stay one, it takes more than just talent.
He's like Elson if Elson had never met hash.
I like him better than Scola or Butler.
Whottt liking Mahinmi is the kiss of death.
so was he good enough when the spurs drafted him...i doubt he has gotten worse...he has imrpoved with his body and strength..and wasnt that his major issue??? i believe so
tpark is a piece of
And Oberto couldn't get off the bench here...
Damn you guys do the "blind hate based on minutes" schtick well.
Did it ever occur to you that some of those teams want Mahinimi to be there for a couple of years rather than just develop him in a year and then lose him?
Trust me...that is not the way the European mind works.
I'm sorry.
Yeah...cuz I liked Manu and Parker as well.
That quote never gets old.
wow so we're still upset about this trade? Guys have a drink. thats what I did....
The Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs completed a deal on Thursday, that would send San Antonio backup center Jackie Butler, and the draft rights to Luis Scola of Spain in return for Houston point guard Vassilis Spanoulis.
There is only one problem, Spanoulis has repeatedly told the Rockets that he has no intention of playing in the NBA for any franchise, and that he wants to play in his native Greece. The Rockets say they intend to hold Spanoulis to his three year deal, and if the Rockets do not let him out of his pact, FIBA will not allow him to play for any Greek team. Stay Tuned for this one!
i think they are behind by like a few hours.
Duh. Why would you package the missing pieces to a western conference contender for ESSENTIALLY NOTHING?Would you rather we have gotten absolutely nothing for them?
If the Rockets off the Spurs in the playoffs, we will have a million awesome Whottt quotes here. Of course, we still have:
Worst trade by this organization. Scola better not agree to a buyout and Butler better bust. If either of them put up more than 5 ppg, we lose. Most 2nd rounders put up 0 ppg and just get waived. We pretty much lose no matter what happens. All we need to do now is waive White and extend Beno and Barry!Cavs in 5
Wasn't Haslem on our summer team at some point too?
I don't want Spanoulis. He is even worse than Beno. A drama queen to boot.
Don't worry about it. Hes not coming.
Worst
ing
trade
EVER
In pretty much every decision the Spurs have made I could at least see their point of view. I might not have liked it but I could understand. This one just stinks of greed and money lust over basketball. Unless this actually is a precursor to a much bigger deal that strengthens the Spurs on court it is stunningly bad. Even then it would be bad because there were better ways to accomplish salary cuts and open roster spots, but if not it's ridiculously bad. Why the damn Rockets? Why?
I'm going on NBA hibernation until something better happens or the season starts. This is just sickening.
I'm about 99% sure im giving up my season tickets.
Im not gonna give money to an owner whos gonna be cheap and not win.
Same reason i havent gone to a cardinals home game this year.
I'm absolutely sickened the Spurs have become "that team"
I read this announcement several hours ago and I still can't believe what the Spurs did. We traded to a talented division rival a potential missing piece and a young center that's better than Elson for... nothing.
Nothing.
We seriously could have taken any other offer from any other team and it would have been better.
we shouldve made a deal for battier or get BONZI of there hands since his only earnin what? 1-2m only.
this was a stupid move by the spurs
and we are getting the flack for helping to rebuild a powerhouse in the west.
rich gets robbed
