Mahimni in Washington with $ 64 m.

By Aris Barkas/ barkas@eurohoops.net

French center Ian Mahinmi has agreed to a four-year, $64 million contract with the Washington Wizards. Mahinmi averaged 9.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this past season for the Indiana Pacers.

Mahinmi has played for San Antonio, Dallas and Indiana in his nine NBA seasons. He spent the past four years with the Pacers, serving as a rotation presence on back-to-back Eastern Conference finalists in 2013-14. With this move, the possibility of the team signing Liga Endesa’s MVP Giannis Bourousis does not exist any more.

On the contrary the Wizards may add more Euro-flavour by signing Barcelona’s point guard Tomas Satoransky.
