    Just to add to the discussion about how poor SVG is at the GM role I'm going to throw in this quote he have in an interview on the topic in November. They guy thinks that Baynes is grossly underpaid....I'm kinda stunned...

    “Now he’ll make about triple next summer of what we’re giving him,” Van Gundy said in November. “We won’t be able to re-sign him, but the critics, who always know, killed us for overpaying him. Right now, we could trade him to 29 teams in about five seconds right now at what he’s making. So I don’t think we made too bad a deal.”

    He thinks Baynes is worth $18M??
    SVG will keep the Pistons in salary cap for the next decade.

    Spurstalk never learns. Boban - "Pay the man!" Baynes- "Can't afford to let the big banger go!" I had forgotten all about Bayne's existence until this thread popped up. CoJo "But, but, but the slam over Ibaka and the game 6 comeback." Gary Neal "Choo choo, please don't leave the station." System players equal scrub status outside the system. And people here think the Spurs could actually get something of value for system players like Green and Mills.

    Baynes was one of the best backup Cs in the NBA, last season..he's having a poor start to this season, but his 1st year in Detroit was easily better than his stint with the Spurs, tbh..he has game, he just needs to be utilized properly..

    Boban is the same player, he just plays less on a team that doesn't get garbage time chances like the Spurs gave him..

    Spurs backup bigs are more mobile now. I guess bring them back if Pop wants to go slower but tougher frontline route

    Damnation. I don't think anyone has been nailing it more often or more consistently lately.

    Groce..i just puked.

    Boban is like in the bottom 5 of worst bigs in the league and Baynes is a 13th man at best.

    I liked Baynes and thought Boban was fun. I'd take either of them over a Joel Anthony if the salaries were equal. But we have some bigs who are better than them right now. Get the players we have now healthy and fully into the system and we're good for the season.

    Great post Harlem as always.
    One thing I miss from Baynes: he could set a mean screen to free up anybody... Spurs miss that somewhat though Lee and Dedmon have done so well, and Davis looks so good that I haven't missed him.

    I did miss him last year when the duo of Boris and Dwest did not add up to one Baynes... (as you said he had a great season last year) and he's built like a truck.

    Yeah, he was never the same after the surgery to repair his broken nose; I believe at the beginning of the season? Don't remember.

    Good for Aaron.
    He escaped poop and his demented drunk ass. Look at how much he has become. He never would have shown the stuff in that clip under poop.
    Poop is so detrimental to the Spurs. He needs to retire.

    League is a mess. Smalls now are scoring in the paint because bigs are guarding other bigs 30 feet away.

    Baynes has always been a good player, tbh, his skills have always been there. He's a great backup C, salute to him for escaping Pop and working on his 3-point shooting(which would have never happened in SA).

    At age 33, Baynes with career highs across the board in Phoenix. Appears to be very popular there.

    Teams are always replacing marginal players at some position based on evaluation of salary vs. talent. A trade or failure to resign is just a business decision that may improve the team or get rid of a liability. Look at how many times Bowen didn't make it.

    I like Baynes and think he could be a decent bench contributor, but Boban, as nice of a guy as he is, is way too slow for today's NBA.


    And I'd take Poetl over Baynes.
