re: SHOW AMINU THE MONEY

Aminu has not developed like projected and thats why the Clippers were willing to part ways with him instead of Bledsoe... I was of the belief that he was a great inclusion in the package at the time and that he would develop into a possible Luol Dent type player with the above average ability to defend, rebound, and average 12-15 points with a respectable three point shot.
While he is a decent rebounder, an ok defender (depending on who is guarding), his offensive game has not developed nearly to the level of what he seems to be physically capable of. He can't shoot, his demeanor is too lethargic and aloof at times, and he is a non threat on offense most nights. He is too inconsistent and he may have maxed out his abilities now.
He definitely needs to come off the bench and I would only resign for the qualifying offer. He probably will get a better offer from other teams so he would leave. His production is definitely replaceable and his type is a dime a dozen right now. Otto Porter is better than him Day one and he is not a sure thing either. I held out for the longest but I thin its time for the Aminu experience to end, time for a new look at SF. We need scoring from that position along with a defender. Davis should not have to be counted on for scoring on a championship contender team.
Were only a few pieces away from being a solid playoff team and it really starts with upgrading the SF position significantly. Aminu is not the answer...

Excerpt from 3/28/13 article on Hornets247.com titled "Gauging Al-Farouq Aminu’s Value" by Mason Ginsberg
Per Larry Coon’s NBA CBA FAQ:
Teams have until the October 31 preceding the player’s second regular season to exercise their option for the player’s third season. Likewise, they have until the October 31 preceding the player’s third regular season to exercise their option for the player’s fourth season. If the team declines either option, then the player enters free agency as an unrestricted free agent.
However, if the team declines either option and the player becomes a free agent, the team cannot re-sign him to a salary greater than he would have received had the team exercised its option. In other words, teams can’t decline an option year in order to get around the rookie salary scale and give the player more money. This applies to all types of signing, including the Bird exception, the Mid-Level exception, and cap room.
As a result, the Hornets cannot offer Aminu more than $3.7 million for the 2013-14 season, the amount that he would have received under his player option for next season.

He has to be counted on for scoring if we're ever gonna be a contender.
...don't disagree that we could use a little more offense at SF though.
