    There was quite a lot of bleating about Baynes' contract at the start of the year. Given his performances do people think he is worth the money and who does he compare to in $ and stats?

    Absolutely..his production as a 4th big has been really solid, and he's getting paid around 1.5 per, right?

    Can't see any logical complaints from a value perspective, tbh..

    $2.1 Million. It's not a matter of value for him as much as it's one of opportunity cost. Next season, Baynes at $3 Million (his QO) would probably be fine. But I dunno that I want the team using that cap space on him.

    Ya, I meant strictly from a player value perspective, I'm not aware of the implications of his deal going forward..

    I don't think any 4 big is worth missing an opportunity elsewhere, of course..

    Yes. For 2 mil he's a steal. Think of it this way, tiago is making over 9 million. Tiago isn't better than Baynes by much, let alone 4x

    His contract is efficient at his current production at either price point. You should feel less and think more.

    The Spurs don't make the second round without Tiago last year.

    The 9 additional home games basically paid for two years of Splitter's deal if you assume 18k people @ $100 per person x 9 games = $16.2 million.

    Definitely, knew he was capable of this all along, he still can get much better, I can see the potential and he'll be pretty good. I remember when people were saying Ayres=Baynes

    I'm mad they've wasted Baynes all these years, he should be much better than he currently is. By now that jumper would be on lock, he shouldn't be as lost as he is on both sides of the ball, Spurs should be running the P&R consistently with him, basically he'd be waaay better.

    Another player development mistake by Pop, one of many.

    It still amazes me that no one threw money at him. If for no other reason than to weaken the spurs

    I think he means currently. They're both pretty equal this year. Splitter is held back by his injury, he's shown a few flashes of returning though...

    Splitter is 10X the defender that Baynes is. He's not really a shot blocker, but he is SO good with positioning and verticality, that he protect the rim without much shotblocking.

    whether baynes got the minimum or 2.1 million had absolutely no impact for the spurs whatsoever. if they really wanted to save money, they should have done the obvious and waved Austin Daye way earlier before his salary was guaranteed

    I think you understate it. Baynes is making strides, but he'll never be able to guard the range of players that Splitter can, from a bull like Cousins to a finesse 4 like Dirk or LaMarcus. He doesn't have, and never will have the lateral quickness.

    I think that was pretty much as close to a unanimous take as you'll ever see on this board.

    Baynes is worth far more because his job is simply to give Duncan a rest during the games and overall. Duncan has a high work ethic he pushes himself too much and Pop needs to say to him Baynes can hold the fort while you are off. And Baynes will only get better !!!

    good try. They won the ring without Tiago.
