    Count me in on the Aminu being a solid addition to the Blazers. Good defender who will give max effort every night.

    Regular stats were mediocre at best but he really came alive in the playoffs.

    Sure, but Aminu has proven that he can contribute to an NBA team and do so from day one here, whereas RHJ was late first round pick with zero pro experience. Aminu already is what we hoped RHJ might be.

    But he is a good rebounder and is always on the offensive glass, so teams do have to account for him on defense.

    Black slang alert: you're using bomb out of context! Lol! It's not necessarily a word used to describe how you're doing. Keep at it Mags! :biglaugh:

    Nah...just deep in thought, plotting world domination!

    I'm envious Mags. I keep hoping my kids are going to make me a grandpa some day!

    Seriously though, she does look deep into your soul. Like stares at some life force that's deep in my skull. It's actually a little unnerving!

    Figures that when the team looks to add defense, folk freak out about offense..a photo negative of seasons gone by. The MVP of the finals was never a good shooter throughout most of his career. Doug Christie of the old Kings couldn't shoot. You need defenders on the OTHER team's shooters. I just wonder if he's better than Alonzo Gee for the money.
