Even if the market is strong for him, the Suns should try hard to keep Aron Baynes

During the 2019 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns traded a 2020 first round pick (via Milwaukee) to the Boston Celtics for the 24th pick and center Aron Baynes.

In the trade, it was well known that Phoenix got a veteran with playoff experience (54 playoff games) in Baynes and his winning pedigree was expected to be of value to a young squad that hadn’t seen much success recently. However, he was going to be much more than that for the Suns.

Already 32 years old when acquired, no one expected him to have a career year.
