    I think you read my post wrong. I was saying I think nic had Tracy mcgrady/ grant hill potential.
    I also am not saying aminu is better than nic. I'm saying for the money, I'd rather have aminus numbers which are very close overall(again nic is hands down a better shooter) on all non shooting stats, than nic and his numbers.
    Money + time on court+ production numbers prove aminus contract is a more value contract than nics. For the money you get better production from aminu

    My nagging suspicion that they moved Batum in an effort to appease LaMarCooch remains. Batum is perfect for this team, especially now that he would be able to play his complete game instead of his previous primary duty, which was to feed the ball into LaMarCooch on every fucking possession. If they traded Batum thinking it might sway The Cooch into staying, when it was painfully clear The Cooch already had his bags packed and one foot out the door, then Olshey/Allen done fucked up.

    NOBODY on here has been bringing up money bro! Ever since the deal and signing of Aminu, haters have straight up been saying we are better WITHOUT Nic.....that Aminu is better. THAT'S foolish and THAT'S what has been frustrating.

    I cant speak for others, but I assumed it was a foregone conclusion that people were looking at the contracts when saying they would rather have Aminu. I know anytime I have made a comment on the two, its been based on the all encompassing, which includes salary.
