I said in the other thread, but how is it possible that Aminu could agree to sign in Portland 30 minutes after free agency begins. Can you make a decision like that in 30 minutes?? That's wild.
If you get an offer way larger than what was predicted, it's probably best to jump all over it before it goes away. The estimates were that he might get $4-5 million.
Portland really wanted Aminu and chose the gambit of making their likely first call to him with a large opening bid in the hopes that he would immediately accept.
