Tbh, I'm worried about Duncan's knee...

[benefactor]

Eh...whatever happens, happens. It would suck but I'm not going to soak my pillow over it. He's almost 37. No one could have predicted him playing at the level he has played this season and it's been a joy to watch...and it potentially ending before the playoffs would not be all that surprising because what he is doing is unprecedented anyway. If this is the beginning of the end of the line then I will take the memories of this season and place them with all the rest of the great memories I have of Duncan and prepare for life after him. I have no reason to be sad as a fan for all these great years he's given me.

I still say he's ok though...and it's just extra rest from a busy opening schedule. Let's hope that's the case.

Its interesting to note. When/Should Baynes step on the court in an Spurs jersey 2 records would have been set.

1. There would have been more Australians play for San Antonio than any other NBA team (Previous record set by the Bulls, Longley, Anstey and Schenscher, then equaled by the Spurs, Gaze, Heal and Mills)
2. Never before has any NBA team had 2 Australians on its active roster. (Assuming something mysterious doesnt happen to Patty Mills)

Probably doesnt mean much to you blokes but as an Aussie and lifetime Spurs fan I'm proud of that.

Sweet. Stern should be so thankful to the Spurs for their efforts to globalize the NBA. Actually that might be the only reason we have 4 rings

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN Baynes said he's still awaiting visa clearance before he can practice. Is unsure how long that might take.

Andrew A. McNeill ‏@drew_48moh
Aron Baynes cited Reggie Evans as a somewhat similar player to himself.

Paul Garcia PS ‏@24writer
Baynes' bread-and-butter move? The Right-hand hook he says. #Spurs

Matthew R Tynan ‏@Matthew_Tynan
Baynes says he's felt Spurs interest since first round of Euroleague.

Andrew A. McNeill ‏@drew_48moh Interesting comment from Bud re: Baynes, said Baynes may give the Spurs the ability to hedge and switch on pick-and-rolls.

[Ice009]

For s sake, still waiting for Visa?

[capek]

Good job Baynes! You broke Pop, and now he can't coach tonight. Thanks a lot!

That is interesting. I didn't think Baynes had that kind of quickness. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

And the visa situation. Hopefully that gets resolved toot sweet!

[crc21209]

Don't like the Visa comment. I wish we could see him in action ASAP but who knows how long it'll be now....

[ace3g]

Stern probably in charge of Visas as well, he's afraid of Baynes

[ace3g]

see what Elliott says about Baynes

Great contributions.... good he got his pay day!

[timtonymanu]

Best of luck to Baynes.

Was always a great teammate and contributed some in our le run.

[NickiRasgo]

Really happy for him what he's doing/contributing with the Suns lately after Ayton got suspended. Can't I believe that I'll say that I'll rather have him now instead of Aldridge. Esp. with the amount what he's getting now compared to Aldridge.

Whatever happened to Bruno? Did he dieded?

[TimDunkem]

Back when the Spurs made good signings.
