Aminu’s final 7 games of the playoffs...sort of important games.
Average
16 minutes per game
Points per game. 3.9
FG 28%
3 PT 4/14 not terrible but not great, especially since one of those he was unguarded and air balled by 4 feet.
Rebounds 4 per game, decent
Avg assists 1.5
2 total steals in 7 games
No blocks, 1 block, who cares.
Now THAT is a guy I would take over Draymond Green in a hot second. I’ll be here next year to remind you how dumb PER is. Aminu did not get run because he sucked when it mattered.
3 rings
3-time All Star
2017 defensive player of the year
And he shot 45% from the field this year, which is pretty good for him.
But take Aminu. Yeah.
eta: if you are 6'8, athletic add have good court vision, a triple double or close too should be EXPECTED everygame.
Or kembaI'm surprised wasn't included, but if Ingram is healthy they might not need another forward.
Since the Lakers don't anyone's picks, the other first rounders must be 21 and 23 since they can't trade their own picks in back-to-back years.
By getting rid of Ball and Ingram, they still have the cap space to sign Kyrie...

Ball's a net negative, Ingram you'll have to pay soon, and none of those picks will be in the top 10. Meh
You mean aside from the #4 this year, right?
I mostly agree on the 3 players they got... But I can’t remember a deal where a team got as much as the Pelicans just hauled in.

The other picks are a protected 2021 and unprotected 2024. Not bad. If they don’t want Ingram, they could probably flip him for a second rounder maybe a low 1st. This was a very good deal for the Pels
how is ball a negative?
I can’t see Kyrie going to the Lakers. All signs point to him in Brooklyn... Especially the change in agents.
I also think the exact amount of $$$ the Lakers have available is a subject of debate (or a timing issue dependent on when the trade is completed). But I’m no expert.
I think the Lakers will just overpay a free agent that is below the elite level guys this offseason.

He's better than that, but I don't think anybody would give up more than a low 1st or 2nd given that he's an RFA after next season.
If he's not in the Pels' long-term plans, they can get some value for him. I could see the Hawks offering one of their high 2nds for him.
