No, I like money too. I just dont like staying in the same job (or country) for more than a day or 2. Maybe if I was paid like an NBA player my job satisfaction would change

Why do you hope he gets a good deal? He going to throw some do-re-mi's your way to backpack some more?

I hope he gets a good deal, I simply said it was a risk, given how many teams already have committed to bigs. I'm not hating, just that it is a risk. It shows he backs himself, which is good

Was 'only' on the books for 6.5m next season, so should be able to get something similar per year in a new deal, which would mean going from 6.5 to potentially 20m+ in guaranteed money.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Correct: last years free agency isn't this years. Thanks for clearing that up.

My point is he's unlikely to get less than $7mil THIS offseason if teams have been willing as recently as last year to fork out those kinds of deals to below-average bigs.

The Nets, Bulls, Mavs, Nuggets, Pacers, Lakers, Heat, Magic, 76ers, Suns and Kings all potentially have sufficient cap space for this kiand of deal and (to varying degrees) don't have a huge incentive to make deals aimed at improving right away.

Hence the opportunity exists for guys like Baynes improve on his last contract.

boo hoo hoo he won't get 12milly maybe only 7 or 8milly. Personally I'm not really fussed about a millionaire getting even more millions.

Last years free agency isnt this years. Those deals, and many like them, mean a lot of teams have average bigs already locked up on expensive deals. I have no doubt that had he been a free agent last season Banger could habe gor 12m plus, but how many teams with lots of cap room have a need to throw that kind of money at a backup centre this off season?

"Doesnt seem like a market for Cs ar the moment."

What are you basing that on?

Miles Plumlee and Mozgov both signed multiyear deals worth over $12mil/season just last year. Overpaid, yes. But teams still forked out the cash.

I'd say Baynes is comparable, and even if he couldn't earn more than $7mil/season, he could lock up a multiyear deal for around that amount. Either way he's likely to gain more financial security.
