Could this be the second big roster emergency the Spurs end up with because they were banking on Splitter's arrival and ended up holding the bag when he didn't?
Could be. And that's what scares the "s" out of me. This smells like the makings of the Scola fiasco all over again. How does that old saying go about a bird in the hand.....?
Even if the Spurs didn't have Splitter in the vault, no team can afford allowing young talent to walk.
He will reach 20,000 fouls before he reaches 1,000 pts?
Reason to trade him is if you get someone in return that can improve your team NOW and the next year or two to win a ring.
There is obviously something between Spurs' management and Mahinmi. What it is, I will leave to those in the know.
In any event, for Ian's sake, I hope it is something that he arguably deserves, i.e., perceived laziness or lack of compe ive zeal.
Hopefully, it is not just one faction in management taking it out on another for recommending the drafting Mahinini in the first place -- that would truly be unfair to the kid.
Let's not overthink this.
Mahinmi was Presti's pick. RC has to get the glory.
Pop can't quit veterans. The older, the better.
There's nobody in the organization who stands to benefit from Mahinmi blowing up. So he'll do so elsewhere.
Blair damn!!!!
Someone might want to ask the players on the team if they're willing to sacrifice a le just to keep management from looking uber stupid for nine months.
I guess we better ship Ian out before we lose him for nothing. don't think hes gonna play anymore.
Its not that he sucks, Pop has never even given him a chance. He's still raw, and he needs game experience to get better. Unfortunately, I think the ship has sailed on the Mahinmi express. Pop has probably already made up his mind about Ian's future, and its not in San Antonio. I just hope this one doesn't come back to bite us in the ass like the Scola trade did. He still has a lot of potential, whether he ever reaches his full potential, only time will tell.
Mahinmi for Batum..Portland still searching for a big and protland has plenty of sg/sf on the roster..
