NEW ORLEANS -- Al-Farouq Aminu has agreed to a 1-year extension with the New Orleans Pelicans, a person familiar with the situation said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because NBA rules prevent the deal from becoming official until July 10. On his Twitter page, Aminu posted the message: "Excited to be back in NOLA." The extension was first reported by the Times-Picayune, which said the deal was for $3.7 million. The 6-foot-9 Aminu, heading into his fourth NBA season, started 71 games last year, playing mostly at small forward. He averaged career highs of 7.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, with season-highs of 20 rebounds against Dallas on April 17 and 18 points against Boston on Jan. 16. Aminu was drafted eighth overall out of Wake Forest in 2010 by the Los Angeles Clippers. He came to New Orleans as part of a 2011 trade that sent Chris Paul to the Clippers, and which also brought shooting guard Eric Gordon to the Pelicans, who were then called the Hornets. Aminus first chance to start regularly came last season, and coach Monty Williams spoke highly of Aminus rebounding and all-around athletic ability. But Aminu was unable to demonstrate that he could provide consistent scoring from the wing position, and the Hornets went into this off-season with both Williams and general manager Dell Demps acknowledging that the club was looking to acquire another small forward. A recent trade reported by multiple outlets including AP will bring Tyreke Evans to New Orleans once its official should help the Pelicans in that area when matchups allow. However, the 6-6 Evans appears more suited to playing shooting guard and would likely have a height disadvantage if forced to play heavy minutes on the wing. Demps said during the NBA draft that he expected to be very active in free-agency. His next moves could include not only the acquisition of another wing player, but also a centre. Robin Lopez, who started at centre for New Orleans last season, was sent to Portland as part of the three-team deal involving Evans that was agreed upon on Thursday -- and also sent guard Greivis Vasquez to Sacramento.

Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. Helmut Marko, the man who guided Sebastian Vettel through the Red Bull driver programme, said his former protégés radio meltdown in Mexico was unworthy of a four-time world champion.Vettel, who won those titles at Red Bull before switching to Ferrari, found himself behind Markos latest wonderkid, Max Verstappen, in the closing stages of the Mexican Grand Prix. Verstappen ran wide with three laps to go but held third position, refusing to yield to an irate Vettel.The laps spent behind Verstappen then backed Vettel into Daniel Ricciardo in the other Red Bull. Ricciardo made contact with Vettel on the penultimate lap after a late lunge down the inside.After the race, Vettel told FIA race director Charlie Whiting to f--k ooff on two occasions, something Marko thinks was unacceptable for the grids most decorated driver.ddddddddddddThe situation is unworthy of a four-time world champion, Marko told Sky Sports after the race. His choice of words certainly wasnt first class.Though Verstappen crossed the line in third, Whiting and the stewards soon issued a five-second penalty which dropped the 19-year-old behind Vettel and Ricciardo into fifth. Marko says Red Bull do not understand why Verstappen was penalised.We support him. The decision is not understandable. They use different standards and this is not okay. ' ' '
