Aron Baynes: Let go by Raps
Aron Baynes was waived by the Raptors on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Baynes quickly fell out of favor with coach Nick Nurse last season and often wasn't a meaningful part of the rotation in Toronto. He still managed to average 6.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 18.5 minutes, but the season was a massive disappointment compared to his surprising 2019-20 campaign with the Suns. As a 34-year-old with issues staying healthy and trouble making an impact last year, it would be surprising if Baynes were to find his way into a fantasy-relevant role this upcoming season.
