    You know Pop has a special role for everyone on the team and Baynes is a wide load in the paint when needed and has a pretty nice touch around the basket as well. Go for it Baynes. Second year with the Spurs is the proving ground for what you've learned.

    Indy Ayres was a PF. If Jeff could shoot like that for the Spurs, he'd've been at worse the fourth big. As it is, he's just a slightly undersized center if he doesn't have range.
    I guess. He shot all of 35 times from outside the paint. I think its more like with Splitter; why wait around for the shots to start falling when he'll get 2/3 of the attempts inside?

    He was more so a C, at least in his second season, because West and Hansbrough were entrenched at PF. Two seasons ago, he briefly overtook Mahinmi as their primary backup C late in the regular season, only to relinquish it at the start of the playoffs.

    Even if he was the solid mid range shooter he was advertised as being, he'd have been/would be at best the fourth big. There's nothing he could have done/do to usurp Duncan, Splitter or Diaw.

    It is his more natural position in the traditional sense (the same way Daye's is SF), but in today's game and particularly on this team, he's a C.

    This is why he and Baynes are redundant and I'd prefer they not have one, though I always thought Baynes would be back.

    Not really. He played sparingly next to Splitter early, until they realized he couldn't shoot, at which point he was utilized almost exclusively at C, save for garbage time next to Baynes.
    I consider him a C with the Spurs. He played quite a few of his minutes with Diaw. He did start 10 games at PF (I think, all were with Duncan starting at C)

    If he were as good as advertised last summer, I think he would have been the starter next to Tim. The Spurs really struggled with spacing for the Tim/Tiago pairing at the beginning of last season. Having a big who was a knock-down shooter who was also big, strong and athletic would have been an ideal fit. Add in Ayres' passing abilities, and it's almost a shame that he hasn't worked out. I don't think he would have been the higher than the fourth-most important big, but I could definitely have seen him being higher on the depth chart.

    how do you know that? who are your contacts within the spurs front office?
    I dont know if im misunderstanding but i think some common sense is missing here. Chump said spurs wont offer a guaranteed contract if read in context. You then asked how he knows. Wouldn't obvious answer have been because they have no more contracts to give out???

    they could theoretically waive/cut somebody. ayres is the candidate we're all cheering for. he'd get paid every penny but it would clear up a roster spot for somebody who could actually help us unlike errors. we also aren't in danger of hitting the luxury tax so it wouldn't be too crippling. its still unlikely

    I'm glad you made a big deal out of my prediction since you agree with it.

    good to know i'm still in your thoughts. saying probably not is different than saying "it won't happen" though.

    Eh, so I'm more secure in my prediction than you.

    No big deal.
