ESPN sources say Pistons have struck verbal agreement w/Aron Baynes to sign C away from Spurs on three-year deal (player option after YR 2)
i guess lalane is making the roster
OMG! Disastrous start to free agency!
if true, maybe they can get West
Not that I really care about losing Baynes, but it's a curious decision that they didn't tender him. Maybe he threatened to sign the QO if they didn't let him walk?
Starting Center for the San Antonio Spurs
I wonder how much money the Pistons gave him
Good thing for them that it's not Dumars anymore
Good for Baynes. Really wanted to keep him as a back up big but the Spurs didn't have the means to re-sign him when they are rolling the die with Aldridge.
Spurs are really all in with Aldridge now. If Aldridge doesn't sign, the Spurs will be left with a pretty terrible bench.
Wanted security and Spurs wanted flexibility. He will dwell in obscurity and then fade away
what up david west?
He was a decent contributor off the bench and wish him well. Hopefully, we can hold onto the other Aussie, tbh.
I'd like to see Aldridge then either Robin Lopez or Bismarck Byombo

Hearing that the Aron Baynes deal with Detroit is along the lines of Brandan Wright's new pact with Memphis and could rise as high as $20M
Spurs starting C.
Damn....I like Baynes, for a 4th big. Please dont bring back Ayres...
ROFL if that's true
giving him $20 million. Pistons FO really is ing re ed.
I don't think losing Baynes makes our bench bad. Lets not overrate him.

I guess anybody who's considered a rotation player now gets at least $5 million per year..
$20 million for Baynes??
Baynes leaving is a blow. Not much on the market to replace him at cost efficiency. I'm guessing the Spurs have a back up plan at center for losing both Splitter and Baynes. Hopefully it's better than Bonner and Ayres. We can't expect Tim to be a 35 minute a night center.
I like having his size against certain bigs and he improved offensively, but he doesn't sway this team in either direction(contender/pretender.) He's a bruiser, hard worker and is a good guy off the court. Good luck to him.
Gonna be paid more than MVPatty
The price reported seems steep for him -- his value certainly seems inflated by virtue of his association with the Spurs -- but absolutely can't blame him at all for taking what he can get.
Snark aside, here's hoping the Banger does well with the Pistons. He seems like a good dude who has worked hard and made himself into an NBA player.
I mean $20mil for Baynes? Congrats homie but thank god dem Spurs arent paying that
