Eh Baynes is a minutes eater, solid pickup. Rock solid, not much of a downgrade. That being said I hope there is another move for frontcourt depth, unless Masai and co love Hernandez + Boucher. Personally im not sold on Boucher and Hernandez has 0 experience. Think we have another move in us though. My problem right now is if we hold pat with no upside moves or anything, we are basically okay wasting the twilight of Kyles prime which sucks.

Gotta be a team option so a fat one-year
Masai has made it clear he wants to keep that cap space for next off season.

On the bright side next year draft will surely be in the low 20's or high teens.

My guess is Masai offered that to Gasol and Ibaka, both are in their 30s and didn't want to waste a year so they went elsewhere. Baynes and Boucher agreed to a solid pay and a team option.

Pretty sad about Serge, mostly because I liked him as a person. I think he's become pretty overrated as a basketball player, but he had a certain swag and confidence that really helped, especially during the championship run. I hate that it was the Clippers.

Glad we got baynes. I have been wanting him since last trade deadline. Kinda has Gasol skill set, good rebounder can hit the 3 if you leave him and is actually a pretty good passer. Boucher is going to have to earn his backup minutes and would like to see dean get a shot here and there. I'm sure he will at some point just due to injuries etc.
overall if neither Serge or Gasol were going to be here I'm happy with baynes. If he can play decent that 2nd year option could be a bargainTo be the champs you got to beat the champs

I actually preferred Baynes out of pretty much the entire centre class so this is fine by me.
That Boucher deal is okay. He is what he is but he will have a few big games and he is productive despite his flaws.
Raps still are really thin at the forward spots but sounds like they will have to make it work as is.

I don't know what is your expectations this season but with the current roster this team isn't finishing in the top 4 of the Eastern conference & will have a rough time getting out of the first round in one piece.

Serge and Marc went for term.. and I knew that was the only way we'd lose them. Glad we got Baynes out of it. I still don't trust Boucher completely but and we still could use some depth at F (we might lose RHJ and Stanley sucks).
But ultimately the mistake was giving Stanley the player option last year. Or assuming he wouldn't suck. That cost us Serge. If Stanley was off the books, we'd have more to give to Serge, and he might have stayed for a $15M deal instead of a $12M deal.
Live and let learn I guess.
Hope LA treats our boys well. That center duo will always be apart of Raptor lore forever.
