    Damn. As much as I don't want to think about losing him, I can't help it.
    We could be looking at the Spurs frontcourt rotation for the next 10+ years.
    Imagine that.
    You don't think the spurs will get any better frontcourt players in the next 10 years?

    Yea, you're right, I was harsh. But you're pretty re ed if you're going slam my trade idea when you don't even have a clue who the guy is we'd be getting in return. I mean, for all he knew he could have been the greek T-Mac or something (I couldn't help myself).

    The thing that gets me is that people are treating that trade idea like it was a "dump Mahinmi" thread when it was just a simple trade idea. Mahinmi is definitely looking like a very solid prospect for the future, but the level of sucking on this guy is greater than even the vaunted James White! of yesteryear.

    I'm still not sure how much Mahinmi will help us this year, but he definitely looks like he'll help us at some point. But that hardly means he isn't tradeable.

    I understand but we would be trading big for small. Those kind of trades rarely ever work out well. If it was to get someone like Kaman or another center I would be okay with it. LA has two 7 footers and they could easily shoot over a small lineup ala the Denver series.

    We might not need to.

    OT: A question for non-French posters on ST:
    French NT campaign (with De Colo and Parker) has started one week ago, are you interested in a thread with infos about it?

    Yeah considering the IQ of a poster is inversely proportional to the size of the boobs of the chick in your avatar.

    Yeah I like Thabo a lot too but I just find us thiner in the frontcourt than on the wings. The key question in your statement being can Ian provide help now. He sure can help us but we need to win in the next two years.
    The other thing to bear in mind is Splitter's situation. If the staff clearly know that he ain't coming next year keeping Ian is a better option.

    Thabeet's not the kind of player who is going to match up statistically to his opponents. He has been "outplayed" by almost every center he has faced this summer, the whole time putting up unimpressive numbers... but he has also been the defensive foundation for a team that went 5-0. I was impressed by Mahinmi's aggressiveness, which seems to make an appearance every other game. In game one of the summer league, his first after a very long time off, he looked uninterested, followed by game two where he looked great. In the game before yesterday's, he grabbed one rebound in an uninspired effort... he still looks very good for a guy picked at the end of the draft's first round, but his wildly uneven effort from game to game is mystifying to me.

    Agreed, well put
