Does anyone else find it suspicious that it's three hours past when a contract could be signed and we still haven't signed Bruno to his max deal?
Aron Baynes needs to be a Rocket. Not just a bruising rebounder and versatile (switch, drop coverage, zone) defender. Not just because multi-offense threat (post, 3ball, show and go, even passing). Not just because non-stop off ball work (screens, pin downs, box outs, etc. But because of the culture he'd bring to Rockets: work ethic, leadership, toughness, approachability, likeability and most of all humor.
Baynes would be the bane of our opponents! We could also use another beard on the court. Can’t have too many beards.
Defense looks like it fell off a bit this past year, but was pretty d@mn good before that https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/baynear01.html https://craftednba.com/players/aron-baynes
Suns are not as good defensively as Celtics, teammates and system also affect efficiency/productivity. But dont get me wrong, Baynes is not an elite rim protector. He is more of a wall, like a 6'10 version of PJ Tucker. But that's why we would have Wood playing alongside of him.
Seriously, we should sign this guy. He does the little things that really impact a game, and now he’s added the 3 ball at a high percentage. Fans would love the guy from Oz.
Of course Baynes is good, we just can't pay him without making him room previously via trade. He's not signing a minimum, I guess he will go to Toronto/Lakers (wherever Marc Gasol discards).
There goes Baynes and Gasol, they would have been perfect with WB, oh well. Time to bring in the deadman, see if he can get his mojo back.
