Indiana Pacers free agent Ian Mahinmi is off to the nation’s capital after signing a four-year, $64 million contract with the Washington Wizards , according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports
In a neat turn of events, Ian Mahinmi himself was the first to, in his own way, report the news on Twitter.
In a world where super-reporters Shams, Adrian Wojnarowski, Marc Stein, Mark Spears, or Sam Amick usually break signings, it was interesting to see the big man be the one to announce his new plans to the world.
Mahinmi joined the Pacers in the summer of 2012 in a much-criticized deal in which Indiana dealt away Darren Collison and new-world-champion Dahntay Jones.
