I've seen nothing like that. I think peoples opinion of Baynes on ST is ridiculously high. He can become a solid backup center for the Spurs but thats about his ceiling in San Antonio. I've heard some laughable statements about Baynes potential.
If he returns on the cheap, then the Spurs are probably interested. If not then, they aren't going to torn up about losing him.
At this point, I just hope a decision in made sooner rather than later (October 1st) the Spurs are in a bit of a limbo with the 15 roster spot.

If for 3 years the 3rd would likely need to be a team option. I'm not sure teams are willing to throw guaranteed multi-year deals at a player that has played well at the Worlds where some of the compe ion is average, at best.
I was thinking 2 yrs, $4-5 million. If the Spurs were interested in offering a multi-year deal.
And his avatar is an Austin Daye clone.
I think the number of people that don't understand the difference between 'better than Ayers' and 'good' and feel the need to chastise the groups opinion of Baynes is ridiculously high.
Baynes plays Turkey first fresh off their tanking. If he plays well against Asik, teams will take notice. He can only play what is put in front of him. There will not be any decision until after he is done in FIBA.
I'm not really chastising Baynes lovers just pointing out some of the high expectations for him.
My hope for him is to become the backup center. Thats a realistic expectation, not as a someone mentioned as him potentially replacing and making Splitter expendable.
Its smart for him to play FIBA before accepting any offer from the Spurs. He's played well 17 ppg, 7 RPG in 26 mpg.
how much does daye and ayres get per year?
1 and 1.8 million, approximately, respectively.
These are, IMO, the worst contracts for the Spurs roster and they're far from being outrageous, especially when you consider the rest of the league.
For the last 3 years, Spurs FO is definitely the best of the league.
Ayon just packed rose's at the rim
Ayon looking really nice in this game vs. USA
This Ayon dude holding his own...looks to have a decent post game also...something I have yet to see from Baynes
He does look more fluid on his post moves and in the pick and roll than Baynes who seems a bit stiff.
...which is so far his only advantage over Baynes, and a big one at that. Would be nice to have someone with a potent inside game but he seems brittle.
My feeling is that Baynes is a decent 2nd C and an excellent 3rd C. I wish we keep him.

Ayon has been handful for USA bigs even though they're obviously zeroing in on him. Yet I suspect he'll pass on NBA unless offers improve
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
ESPN sources say Gustavo Ayon certainly prefers to play in NBA next season but at this point his offers from Europe have simply been richer
"Gustavo Ayon :-" I hope it's true interest in San Antonio " Gustavo Ayon was the leading scorer and rebounder of the United States 86-63 Mexico , showing the eyes of the NBA who is fully recovered from his shoulder injury. At the conclusion of the meeting, attended Ayon Basket4US positively valuing their participation as both of Mexico in the World . Regarding his future, Ayon ensures that the only offer that has firm is China, but hopes that the rumors about a possible interest San Antonio Spurs are true ."

Ayon talking about rumors of him being linked to the Spurs.
Depends on how much he'd want. I'd be fine with either him or Baynes getting a two-year deal with a non-guaranteed second year that is also a team option. The actual salary would mean little to me.
Ayon and Clark have two things in common, they both aren't that great, and they both will not be playing for the Spurs this coming season.
last thing you need is a banger who is brittle.
I read Nazi Mohammed was still around. I imagine he's shot but haven't kept up with him.
Ayon signs with Real Madrid:

Can't blame him if he was only offered a minimum deal. He should earn much more over there.
Isn't that the same team that has Fernandez? Pretty nice if true. The Spanish league is so far ahead of the other European domestic leagues it's not even funny.
Yes, same team. Even though the spending power has declined somewhat in Spain, Barca and Real will never have to worry about their budget.
