I wouldn't doubt it, but are you sure it wasn't Potapenko?
Apparently true, what do ya'll think?

I'd prefer going young, and I've named at least three guys who could be pretty good including Ian. We have gone the old fart route before with decent success -- but I think the premium should now be on athleticism in today's NBA.
very true. i guess only positives are gregs exp. in NBA, for really cheap, he's hungry, great practice dummy for Tim and he's a bruiser out on the court......if its not too late for him.
Just working guys out aint no big deal.
He could be usefull if Elson or Oberto get hurt.
I'd prefer to have Mahinmi or another young center on the roster.
Duncan, Bonner, Horry, Oberto, Elson.
We will carry one more big on the roster at the start of next season, for a total of 6. We have a very experienced group currently (least experienced is Bonner at 4 seasons IIRC). I agree with Chump that bringing in some youth would be valuable, particularly if it comes with atheleticsim. At that point, Mahnimi is the obvious choice. My other thought is that if we decide to go with a veteran, can we at least get a good one. Mutombo is still unsigned, and he is MUCH better than Ostertag (and likely better than Mahnimi).
God, I hope this is a big, fat rumor only.
Anyone have a score prediction on game tonight?
Please lord no.
agreed.I'd prefer to have Mahinmi or another young center on the roster.
I definitely want another shotblocker and defender, so Ostertag is ok. Mutombo would be better but I'd like to get guys like Ian, Fischer or Akindele a shot too.
well im 99.9% sure its not a rumor. he came in the rest. i work at a couple times and finally my manager approached him wondering why he was in town. he said he was working out with the Spurs. Obviously mike fin syndrome.
I agree with Mutombo. He would actualy be fantasticly perfect.
Ostertag signing would be funny - considering it seemed Duncan was not too fond of him.
That could easily be him needing a gym to work out in and Elson or someone needing someone to work out with.he said he was working out with the Spurs
We'll love watching him rotate his dentures during stoppages in play.
Ahahaha this is awesome. Seems like every time I've seen Duncan against Tag he has some sort of inner aggression. Anyhow.. screw that. I'd rather Elson over him.
aggie i totally agree only thing is he's been retired for a year. why come to SA for a gym.
Ian would not be on the team this much this year but I want him signed and playing in the other spur league!
Ian Mahimi needs to get a whole lot better to make it in the NBA. He has underachieved big time and I think the coaching staff is intent on trying to salvage this guy...first round pick and all..
Its hard to not drool over so much potential and athleticism but sometimes guys just don't have what it takes. I'd love to see him become the next great big man for us but any hopes of him contributing anything anytime soon are far fetched.
If you thought Ely had a hard time getting off our bench, you wait till Ian starts modeling the suits on the pine.
everything just confirmed over phone- he's Tryin to get back in the League
Ian would spend most of the year in Austin, as would the other young guys I mentioned.
