I don't know what made you go for that comparison, it's like me saying George Hill > Taylor Griffin... I don't think anyone would argue in Mahinmi's favor. And it's not like Mahinmi is even a rotation guy for us, he gets only garbage time every now and then.
If you are referring to us trading Dragic to you, that's another story. Maybe you should have said Dragic > Malik Hairston. But I don't think we would have brought Dragic from Europe because we had a player to develop in Hill and Dragic had a buyout in excess of 1 million as far as I remember. So basically we got our backup PG in that draft and it was Hill and I think every Spurs fan is happy with that choice (even though Hill is basically our worst player in this series) and your scouts did an excellent job and got you a backup PG in Dragic. It hurts to say it but last night Dragic looked like he could hit a shot blindfolded. He was possessed and I think even Alvin Gentry couldn't believe his eyes and made a conscious effort to just stand around the sideline pretending he knows what's going on.
