With Tyreke getting 30+ minutes, AFA makes much more sense than any other SF mentioned.

Aminu is a long athletic rebounding 3 who defends pretty well. He's pretty much all we need st SF right now.
Agreed.

Agreed. This team has 4 scoring weapons right now: Holliday, Evans, Gordon, and Anderson. We don't really need a SF who can create his own shot. As others have stated, we can play Evans there when we really do. Aminu will get some points in transition, off of lobs, and on putbacks. Aminu can play defense and rebound.

Replace with AD. Scoring from holiday, EG, tyreke and Davis.

Once you sign guys you can't trade them for a few months. Technically nothing can be signed until the 10th, so it's not impossible, but I don't recall ever seeing a player reported as signing a deal and then a day later get included in a S&T.
They can easily change the signing to a sign and trade, especially if that was discussed at the start. It just requires an agreement. Nothing more.

It's going to be fun watching Aminu's rainbows start hitting this next season. Money.

Aminu is going to become the Dennis Rodman of SFs. Rodman didn't hit double digit boards until he was 29. Aminu has seen a 3 rebound jump each year. Only a matter of time

Really hope fear sees that pic.

This is honestly a fair deal on both sides. Excited to have him back. Love his energy.

I really like Aminu. He's only 22 and has gotten better every season.
47% from the field is not bad at all, and he won't ever be the first, second or third scoring option on the court this year.
Defense, rebounding, energy, the occasional dunk/putback contribution...that's all we need! Plus the team seems to love him.
All I'd like to see is an improvement from beyond the arc, but hell, he only took 19 3's last year anyway.

Same here. I hope we can sign him to a few more years. Because I see him growing in his role very well.

Cool I think he'll continue to get better. No issue at all

Because it eats up cap room we could have used for a better SF.
Maybe Dell realizes he's not getting a big name or even somewhat big name SF.
NOthing wrong with Aminu. Every now and then that moon ball goes in and he's a great rebounder, which we will need without a center in the game and he hustles his arse off.
