It makes sense. Baynes' defense, emerging 3-point shot, and attitude make him a great fit, even though there are some matchups where he needs to be off the floor.

He's a perfect fit for Brad's tool box against guys like Embiid and TT. I'm happy with it as insurance against them.

If the 3 point thing was for real, there will be less match ups where he needs to be off the floor.

He still needs to be off the floor anytime a team goes small though. If he is going to camp out on the three point line, he isn't forcing any team to go big to counter his presence in the post.

Hurry up and get this done.

add the Wizards to the teams in the market for Baynes underrated services.
Hmm, isn't the scuttlebutt that the Gortat-for-Rivers trade portends the long rumored Otto Porter for Boogie Cousins deal? I hope so anyway: that's one of those trades that seems fairly perfect for both squads.

I don't think it's so much that he "needs" to be off the floor as much as it is Brad preferring him off the floor to allow for more time creating offensive mismatches with all of his wings.
