Al-Farouq Aminu left the Portland Trail Blazers last summer and signed a three-year deal with the Orlando Magic. Aminu had spent four seasons in Portland and now finds himself transitioning to a new team. Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype talked to Aminu about his change in environments:
What was your free-agency process like and why did you decide to join the Orlando Magic?
Al-Farouq Aminu: I like that they’re a young team and I thought that I could bring some veteran leadership to them. Also, they went to the playoffs last year, so I knew they had a good team.
