re: Bye Aminu

Congrats to Dallas and Aminu if he becomes a consistent contributor for them. I really like Mason's takes, but I just don't agree with something like this:
We literally gave that guy NO responsibility offensively. His role couldn't have been more basic and concise...rebound, play defense, get out and run when possible. Thats it. He failed. Over and over.
Outside of playing 5 minutes less and/or his name no longer being listed as a starter in the box score, I don't know how much less you could ask from him.
Plus, it seemed like his "teaser" games where he flashed intriguing "stuff" came less and less frequently as the talent on the team got better. So I'm not positive that paring down his role even further means you should cut on the same/better production in smaller doses.
Over the last 3 or 4 years we've turned a lot of other teams' trash into treasures. Never once did I look at those guys' success here as a referendum on their former teams' ability to develop players.

#Pelicans fans saying "Dallas can have Aminu, we won't miss him" - maybe, but don't underestimate his ability to contribute w/ smaller role.

His shooting was bad enough for me to be glad to see him gone. Plus, we gave him a one year deal to prove himself again and he couldnt. Time to move on.

People that want to bag on Monty/Dell will always find a way. Sometimes it just doesn't work out for players and teams. Doesn't mean it's someone's fault.
Pels fans and the team want(ed) a 3 that can shoot. That isn't where Aminu has value. He never was able to deliver and the team never really tried to modify his role. shite happens.
Is he a good bet on a vet minimum? Sure. But not in New Orleans any more.
