In the first move of what is sure to be a dramatic offseason for the Celtics, Aron Baynes has decided to exercise his player option.
The 6-foot-10 center has been nothing but consistent since signing on as a free agent in 2017. Last year, he came off the bench and put up 5.6 points and 4.7 rebounds.
Where his value truly lies is as one of the few rim protectors on Boston, and being a strong, bruiser presence off the bench.
Baynes won a championship as a member of the San Antonio Spurs in 2014. His veteran presence and playoff experience is sure to be a help to an otherwise young group that is likely to be a contender for upcoming seasons.
