He's gonna get overpaid. It's time to let him walk.
I didn't even mention Baynes.. We don't know what Baynes full potential is until he becomes comfortable with our system. He's big, physical, can obviously dunk on people, and apparently is a decent shooter.

Nope! I don't think we see him back or at least that would be my business sense. He's not going to develop a post game in the off season or a mid range game, he's not strong, he can't rebound the ball and he's a defensive liability unless you're as slow as he is. If they offer him anything it better be 4 years at 2 million a year.
He has a basketball skills , Tiago splitter lacks his heart!
Guy is unbelievably soft. If we could re-sign him for $6 million a year than yea. But he's going to demand $9-10 million, which is a joke for a guy as soft as him and who is benched in the NBA Finals.
Agree. Baynes is a bargain.
As long as the price isn't too high, definitely resign him. Chip needs to work with him on developing a 10-12 ft jumper.
I agree with everyone who says he was invaluable vs. Memphis. He defended Z-Bo very well. Miami was just a bad matchup for him.
Baynes is more of an "enforcer, bruiser" type player. I do want the Spurs to keep him just to have that one guy who isn't afraid to do the dirty work.
He's good as gone unless he signs for the qualifying offer
In what ways?
Baynes is no where near a Splitter level player yet, but his offense is already more diverse than Splitter's.
He needs to pull a Nene and bulk up... as timvp said, he cost himself some money with these Finals... we'll see what other teams are willing to pay...
You do if you get back to the Finals next year and play the same team.
Tiago has been highly productive against many all star calibre bigs (e.g. Griffin, Gasol brothers, Randolph, etc. ).
He is a lot quicker on both ends of the floor.
He can be paired with Timmy.
Don't worry about getting back to the Finals at this stage. The west will be pretty compe ive next year.
Discredit this team at your own risk. They're always doubted and always come back with a chance to compete. Yeah, we've been snake bit for 6 years but we always find ourselves in the thick of things. With TP still at his peak and Kawhi emerging, we can still find ourselves back in the le picture.
No, please don't let me see this sorry ass again.
The Spurs will surely be a contender next year but getting back to the Finals is not guaranteed.
Looking at the free agents, they have no shot at Howard or West. Jefferson and Millsap are terrible defensive players.
There's not much out there this summer. Maybe Gasol gets amnestied but that's a longshot.
In the draft, maybe a player like Dieng (Louisville) might be there when Atlanta has their two picks. He's a very good
defensive player but weak offensively.
Maybe they trade for someone- at the moment I can't see what big would be available.
And perhaps their best option when they look at what's available this summer might still be Splitter. And if they sign Splitter,
they would still need another big.
If by "a lot more versatile" you means hurts this team in as many way as possible, is unbelievably weak, a horrible rebounder and looks scared when it matters. Then, yes..... He's versatile.
do NOT resign him. He is worthless
Before the playoffs, 10 million looked likely for him. After the playoffs, it's apparent his only standout attribute is his defense. Besides that, he's a horrible rebounder, mentally weak, no go-to move on offense, and entirely dependent on the pick 'n roll for his scoring. Anything more than MLE is pushing it.
If only there was a top tier FA out there who could help this team win next year.. but there aren't, none that would ever sign with the Spurs. So, we're relegated to overpaying for Splitter and probably Neal... smh.
I don't think Tiago is really any quicker than Baynes at this point.
Baynes could conceivably play with either Tim or Splitter.
he was good against oakland and grizz, but after the heat series. no. he was exposed as a soft player. Timmy was the only real big man left. There's a reason why splitter is named vagina after this series
I'd say go after some of the big men free agents such as Al Jefferson, David West, Josh Smith, Nikola Pecovic, etc. If Spurs aren't able to land anything, then definitely keep Splitter even though that means that we probably won't have a shot at another le next year.
He deserves to be kicked in his soft vagina. The Spurs will probably give him money so we can watch this pussy play like a little girl next year in the playoffs.
