"Not having room" for Baynes sounds like a great way end up with Horford playing 100% of his minutes at center or forcing Yabu/Williams into the rotation. Theis is coming back from a knee injury after all.
Even if Baynes ends up going somewhere else they'll sign some big to make sure that doesn't happen.
Unless and until they trade one of Morris or Yabusele, or they let Smart go in free agency, they don’t have room. Both in terms of minutes and in space under the tax line.
I like Baynes, and I’d happily move Morris to make room for him. I just don’t think we can assume that a trade to the Celtics liking will avail itself.
I have a feeling Baynes comes back and the big loser in minutes will be Morris. I also have a feeling he's not going to respond to that well. So I wouldn't be surprised to see the kind of trade you're thinking of.
