Baynes and Daye contract situation

[ace3g]

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Some housekeeping: Spurs have tendered qualifying offer to Aron Baynes, retaining right to match offers when free agency opens.


Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Austin Daye's contract for 2014-15 becomes fully guaranteed at $1.036 million Tuesday. Only owed $250K if waived by then.

Not surprised. Baynes has been developing nicely in tha Spurs system and with Daye, the Spurs usually keep guys with potential for a 2nd season. Daye will be hitting the weight room and working with Chip this summer. The kid has some game. Good move by the Spurs to see if they can actualize his potential.

Happy to hear about Baynes.

Happy to hear about Baynes.

I am too.

I'd be shocked if they kept Daye.

Well get your shocked face ready.

[loveforthegame]

Good news about Baynes.

I'd be a little surprised if the Spurs don't take a longer look at Daye.

I'd like to see both guys back. I believe daye has potential to really help the spurs. His second year in the system will be a big benefit to him.
I would think this is baynes last year to show he can get himself more prepared.

Happy for Baynes

[100%duncan]

Keep Baynes tbh. Waive Daye, insert Kyle.

[exstatic]

Well get your shocked face ready.

We'll see in the next 36 hours, or so.

[spursparker9]

If Bertans is not coming over then it is better to keep Daye

[palangi]

potential is there.

GAME

there wasn't a lot of opportunities. But he did have a few good games.

Listen I am not saying this guy is an all star or anything. But I do believe he would be a more effective matt bonner.

[ChumpDumper]

Definitely keep Daye if Bonner is gone. Otherwise maybe -- no need to pinch pennies this offseason. Unless they have someone we don't know about coming on.

[SupremeGuy]

Good news, tbh.

I think they both have potential.

[Steve-O-Matic]

Daye didn't have a few good games, he had one good shooting game, against a wholly uncompe ive team. Every other time he played he couldn't hit water if he'd shot the ball off of a boat. Daye has done absolutely nothing in his career to give evidence that he's even an NBA-caliber player, never mind a player who can be a "more effective Matt Bonner."

Baynes...I don't expect him to get any big offers unless some team is just desperate for a big. Fully expect the Spurs to match anything south of 4 million per season.

ONE

GAME

He only played one or two "whole" games, and was injured toward the end of RS. He totalled about 120 minutes the whole time he was here, and 1/3-1/4 of it was in that "one game". It's not even fair to say his "second year" will be better because he hasn't even had a first.

Anderson's presence makes his position more precarious, maybe, and they might pay him 250k to go away, but:

They have him on a strength and conditioning plan.
He was very visble during the playoffs and celebrations (Damien James was not).
They subs uted him in real game situations quickly after arriving from Toronto.
Ace3g once commented on him getting coached up a little behind the scenes.
And, lastly, they haven't released him, yet.

I won't be shocked either way, we have a great roster, but there seems to be some cir stantial indicators that they might have plans for him.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

I was rooting for them to keep Baynes. I hope his playoff performance earned him some extra minutes in 14-15. Duncan, Splitter, Baynes is a darn good rotation.

I like Daye and i think his potential and corporate knowledge should pay off. He's a bargain at 1 mill. Maybe even a trade asset.

I still think development minutes spent on Daye would be better spent on Bertans and LJC.

[BackHome]

I agree keep Baynes will need the big boy against Grizz and Houston and would rather have Bertans come over now.

About Damion James, I read somewhere he was purposely left out of the playoff roster to work individually while the rest of the team plays. So was Daye, I think, but James never travelled with the team to Miami. Had clear mandate to stay home.

I hope no team with someone from Coach Pop's coaching tree snatches him up. Can easily see Brett Brown trying to pry him away. If he walks I hope Gustavo Ayon can still resuscitate his career with the Spurs. Spurs were interested in him last year; would have probably signed him if Ayres weren't at play.
