News came over the Twitter “wire” Saturday that the Boston Celtics are reportedly signing Aron Baynes to a one year, $4.3 million contract.
Whoops.
Whoops to both Aron for opting out of his final year with the Pistons at $6.5 million, and possibly to Stan Van Gundy and Jeff Bower for outsmarting themselves one year ago when they signed Boban Marjanovic.
To be fair, their logic seemed sound when they signed the 7’2” free agent center from the San Antonio Spurs in last summer’s free agency: Aron Baynes would almost certainly command more than his current $6.
