I personally do not think Aminu is worth the MLE. Maybe half of it


You really think Aminu is a 2.65M per year player?

I do. I think you can find guys every year for the minimum that will give you similar production. I would take Morrow over him, for instance.

I am just not a fan. I think the D is overrated and you can get rebounds elsewhere. And he just kills your spacing. Not a fan.

Did we not just have a discussion talking about how Aminu and Cunningham were fairly comparable players? Sure Aminu is younger but he'd have to actually improve to be worth more than a similar ability but already maxed out veteran.

Aminu's FG% and 3P% since his rookie year

39.4% 31.5%
41.1% 27.7%
47.5% 21.1%
47.4% 27.1%
41.2% 27.4%

Not exactly an upward trajectory. He also has declined in his rebounding numbers peaking out in year 3. Now I'm sure role has a bit to do with that, but 16.9 TRB% makes you an elite rebounding SF, 13.7% makes you just good. His peak rebounding year did occur with poor rebounding but good boxing out Robin Lopez, so maybe he'll revive that a bit if RoLo stays in Portland, but I wouldn't bet $30 million on him becoming a significantly different player than he currently is.
