Baynes/Spurs contract situation

http://www.poundingtherock.com/2014/8/25/6061677/spurs-aron-baynes-contract-sign

That's a pretty good breakdown. Another team has to give him a 2+ years guaranteed contract. Even stranger is that if he does sign the QO for the upcoming season he'll be in the same spot next season as he will still be a RFA, so he'll be in a very similar position.

Basically the only leverage he has on the Spurs is "I'll go play in Europe" which still isn't much leverage (because if that's what he really wanted to do he'd have kept doing it, instead of switching over to the NBA).

I expect holding out and waiting for the World Cup is the advice his agent is giving him. Is it possible for the spurs to withdraw the QO? I presume so. I just hope it doesn't blow up in Aron's face if so. If he goes down with an injury in the world cup, he could well have nowhere to play next season and be rehabbing on his own coin.

He's probably hoping to increase his value with a good World Cup. No need to make a decision until the end of the month.
