What about signing Aron Baynes for next season

[Tr1boy]

If we can't draft Okafor or Towns, what about signing Baynes next season?

He is making 2 million dollars this season and if the Celts give him a 3 year 15 million dollar deal, I doubt that the Spurs will match that.

This guy is like another Asik but with a reliable jump shot and some scoring skills.  Strong as an ox + has a 7-3 wingspan

I think Baynes plays some pretty decent ball.

Regardless, closer to the minimum than 5mil in my opinion.  Remember he's already 28 and probably not going to get any better.

This is a great idea, I believe the Maine Red Claws are looking to shore up the center position.

You've already lost me, friend.

I believe this thread may have been prompted by his very good display against Denver tonight. 

I would certainly approve. He's also a pretty good FT shooter - rare for a big man like him.

I'm not really sure if he'd be a good fit at this stage of the team's rebuild plus the stage he's at in his career. $15m for 3 years would probably be a little steep. Tommy Point for the idea though, mate.

Agree. Baynes is a solid back up big... basically Tyler Zeller with a bigger frame. I'd rather the Cs take a shot at WCS in the draft.

Baynes is a bigger/stronger zeller with a 7-3 wingspan and 9-2 reach. Unlike zellers 8-10 reach

Baynes could prob bear hug wcs into submission also.

Its been forever since we had a real center
