    So Aminu gets the injured excuse, while Nic doesn't?

    That trade was awful by every stretch of the imagination.

    Umm because Id rather have a guy who hustles and is inconsistent than a guy that doesn't hustle and is inconsistent?

    Results? Hmmm, how many no shows did we bitch about during Batum's tenure here? Results you say??? LMAO. I thought you wanted an intelligent conversation on this topic?

    I don't understand the question? I loved Nic's game....Aminu the last two seasons has gotten better as the year progressed putting up big numbers in the post season....remember the post season when Wes went down....Nic did NOTHING~~~~~nada.......zippo...and he was the go to guy then...even Nic said himself he lost that series for us

    I like Batum but it was time to move on.

    Would he have been the 3rd piece of the big 3 for this team? No, he could be but he mentally checks out of games at times. He's a max contract now. So we have max contract at PG, SG and SF? It works great for the Warriors but Curry > Lillard, Klay > CJ, Durant > Batum. That lineup doesn't get us to the WCF or Finals.

    Honestly, two or three guys looked like they gave up. Thank goodness they are no longer on the team. We have Dame and he doesn't give up without a fight!

    "I got bashed..."

    "You guys made fun of me...."

    "23 wins...."

    "Give me a break, English isn't my first language..."

    HCP every time he tries to talk smack in the forum.

    Driver in car: Asshole.

    Driver in car (thinking to himself): Oh, he's recording me on his phone, so I will whip out my phone and record him.

    Driver in car: Oh no. I wasn't expecting the force of the wind to knock the phone out of my hand. Fuck! :biglaugh:

    You guys are sooo funnny......

    Nics career stats....

    PPG.....11.7
    AST.....3.4
    REB....5.3
    STLS.....0.9
    BLKS.....0.7
    TO.....1.8
    FG%.....44%
    3ptFG%.........35.8%
    MIN PLayed per game.....31.5
    FT%....83.3%


    Aminu Career Stats...

    PPG.....7.0
    AST.....1.2
    REB....5.5
    STLS.....1.0
    BLKS.....0.6
    TO.....1.3
    FG%......42.7%
    3ptFG%..........31.5%
    MIN PLayed per game.....23.4
    FT%.....72.2%


    Obviously Nic was a beter shotter, but on a per 36, AMinu has better overall numbers. His rebounds and steals are better and he turns it over less. Give AMinu 31.5 MPG average like Nic and i bet Aminus stats look better than Nics.

    Come on now. Saying Nic is soo much better is just laughable.....Numbers don't lie. Yes Nic was capable of a better single game than Aminu at times, but Nic was jsut as if not more than inconsistent compared to Aminu.

    Dude, there's a reason Nic is making 25 mil per year, and Aminu, 8.

    Quoting per 36 numbers, get outta here.

    I can't believe people actually defend a trade that sent out a near max player for Noah freaking Vonleh.

    I don't know what Nic is averaging, but I'm quite sure it's better than Aminu.

    Really? Want to poll 30 GMs and bet who they'd rather have starting for their team?

    I'm actually one of Neil's biggest supporters, but the Nic trade was a huge swing and a miss.

    Oh my god. Nice backing anything up with tangibilities.

    Are you seriously saying because someone givea s a player a max contract, he is worth that? From the same guy saying half our team are on too big of contracts? LMAO;.. You get out of her with your bs. HAHAHAHA


    So what you JUST said is Aminu is on a value contract and Nico is grossly over paid. 4ppg difference between them in thier career. Same rbounds per game. More steals and blocks per game. All in almost 10 minutes less per game.

    Get your shit outa here with that... LMAO.

    Secondly, Im not defending the trade. the question was about Aminu, not Vonleh. do you read or just talk smack without knowing what your talking about?
    Seriously.....hahahahha

    Nico is the new flavor of the month in Charlotte...he's having a decent season...Aminu has had a rough start....but compare the paychecks and consider Batum is a go to guy on his new team....if Nic is still bringing it in March....we'll see
