Ian Mahinmi: 'I really want to stay here'
http://tinyurl.com/7clq4am

DALLAS – Ian Mahinmi hopes he hasn’t played his last minutes as a Maverick.

The Mavs took a minimum-salary flyer on Mahinmi a couple of summers ago after
the Spurs willingly let their former first-round pick go. He developed into a
solid backup big man, averaging 5.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 18.7 minutes
per game this season, which puts him in position to get a significant raise
as a free agent.

Mahinmi’s preference is to keep cashing paychecks signed by Mark Cuban.

“Obviously it’s been two great years for me,” Mahinmi said. “The Mavs
organization really gave me a chance to play and show the world what I can
do, so I really want to stay here. But on the other part, you know that the
NBA’s a business. We all know that they’re going to try to make the NBA
better. Right now, I don’t know if I’m in their plans, but me, I really
want to stay here.”

Brandan Wright is the only one of the Mavs’ “three-headed monster” at
center who should be considered likely to be on the roster next season. While
Wright was a nonfactor in the playoffs, his team option for the minimum
salary next season is still a bargain.

Starter Brendan Haywood, who played less than 10 minutes in two of the Mavs’
 four playoffs games, is a prime candidate for the amnesty clause. The Mavs
will need to shed a significant salary to be major players in the free agency
market, and Haywood is due $8.3 million next season (and $27.2 million over
the three remaining guaranteed years of his contract).

“In this business, you don’t control anything,” Haywood said,
acknowledging being amnestied as a possibility but declining to discuss it in
much detail. “You just go out there and play. All that other stuff is
handled by front office people and your agent.”

If the Mavs cut ties with Haywood, it wouldn’t necessarily increase the odds
of Mahinmi returning. The Mavs might see Wright as a suitable backup center
and attempt to use their resources to find a proven starter at a reasonable
cost.

小馬：我不知道我有沒有在小牛的拼圖裡，但我真的非常想留在小牛！
另外，賴打相較起來，小牛留的機會比較高。
