I'm laughing or I'd be crying.

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

Just be patient they said. Stan has some great trades up his sleeve they said...

Aron Baynes' season ended in traumatic fashion, with the San Antonio Spurs getting eliminated in the first round, him getting dunked on viciously by Blake Griffin and then getting caught on camera getting dragged out of an L.A. club by Tim Duncan and a few of his other teammates.

6.6ppg, 4.5rpg, 55 fg%, 86 ft% with a PER around 16. He's definitely what we need backing up Dre but the price is a bit steep.

How do we keep getting stuck with terrible GMs??

THERE I SAID IT!!!!

I'd feel a little better if he was younger.. This deal is crap even with the cap going up.. 3rd year is a player option???? hahahahahahahahahahaha

This is bad, no other way to look at it. Baynes production could be replicated by Anthony at the vets min.

I'm honestly not too displeased. We needed a backup C and we got one. I know 6.5 mill seems awkward but when the cap goes up even more this'll be nothing. Dre will need rest and Baynes was alright for San Antonio.

his contract isnt what im upset about. i think he's going to be a solid pick-up. im just not sold on any major trade happening and dont see us signing any difference maker, or potential difference maker. dont want to jump to conclusions but im bummed so far.

Even landing a Gerald Green or Omri Casspi would be beneficial.. Hopefully we hear that happen soon.. Do we even have enough to offer Tobias a max now?? haha
