If the Cs land Love this off-season, resign AB, and trade TPE + (?) for Asik I like the idea of targeting Aminu in free agency. He is only 23 and has great size/length at the 3/4.

I would like to see the Cs use the 2011 Mavs as a model for success with a Rondo/Love lead team. Aminu seems like a nice fit as a 3/4 in the Marion role. He will be redundant with Wallace but I don't see Wallace as a long term part of this team. Last season he signed a 1yr 3.7 mill deal and pretty much replicated his previous seasons numbers.

He along with Ko and a resigned Bayless would form a young dynamic bench core. I particularly like the different units this 8 man rotation could form.

Starting
Rondo, AB, Green, Love, Asik

Big lineup
Rondo, Green, Aminu, Love Asik

Small Ball
Rondo, AB, Green, Aminu, Love (great for Miami)

Shooting
Bayless, AB, Green, Love, KO

2nd Unit (Rondo and Love Bench)
Bayless,AB, Green, Aminu, KO   

This is similar dynamic to the Kidd, Terry, Marion, Dirk, Chandler, Barrea, Butler, Pedja Mavs

I have to confess to not seeing much of Aminu last season.

Does he have any capability on offense? Or is he just a younger version of Gerald Wallace?

limited offense, younger version of wallace. i think his offense will limit the $ he gets as a FA but I think his fit with love is perfect (and KO is a great K-Love light backup). When Love is on the perimeter Aminu can stay inside and rebound. He also gives the Cs 3 players Green, Aminu and Wallace to throw at the elite wings in the NBA.

He's a worse version of a younger Gerald Wallace. He doesn't have Crash's court vision.

Why would the C's need two Wallaces anyway? And Wallace at least isn't quite as bad hitting the 3.
