    I hope Gerald Henderson and Aminu don't see your post. This could hurt their feelings.

    Lakers: "We'll get DeAndre Jordan this year and next year we'll get Durant!"
    Blazers: "We've got Aminu!"
    Aldridge: "Well - you both make compelling cases..."

    Seems depressingly likely.

    You "checked him out"? Isn't that something you say about an obscure second round pick, not your prize free agent?

    He's the best of both worlds! He's a SF with the passing and shooting skills of a PF!

    Aminu is 2 years younger and has 5 seasons under his belt, not 7.

    To be fair, if I'd averaged 18mpg on a team with a worse record than the team that just signed me and I just landed that much money, I'd be pretty happy with the guy who gave it to me.

    Yes! Now we have 4 players instead of 3! That's much better defensively.

    It just seems to me that if you've met Olshey once, you've got a job for life. How many players has he acquired here that he knew from the Clippers? I can see him ten years from now, GM for the Charlotte Hornets, giving a contract to 45-year-old Chris Kaman.

    First of all your little punk ass joke isn't really funny at all... It furthermore is borderline racist at worst and offensive at best... Worst of all it was extremely ignorant... Those were Somali... Aminu's family is from Nigeria... And HE is from ATLANTA... Africa is a continent not a country....

    good call, stats actually show he was more efective at PF than SF

    So: we didn't keep Rondae Hollis-Jefferson on a low first-round rookie contract, but instead we gave a large free-agent contract to the player he would be 4 years on if he showed no improvement?

    I don't think you know what a meltdown is. But let me ask you: are you rubbing your hands and saying "yes! It's all coming together!"?

    You need a gigantic bong rip.

    OK, so RHJ = Aminu.

    But do we have a Plumlee caliber C for his 1mil salary available in free agency?

    In aggregate, Aminu + Plums for less than 10 mil/yr is pretty amazing (especially in the new CBA)

    Boy, is my face going to be red when Olshey announces he's just signed LeBron James.

    So, the only options are you're extremely pissed or you're extremely happy?

    Y'know, I actually kind of agree with you. So long as that's our bench, and we end up with some actually really good players.
