Some team will be willing to give Baker a minimum deal. He already pocketed nearly $5M from NYK this year. He's a hard-worker, low maintenance, knows the NBA, is in shape. Lotta teams have weak benches. And injuries are an on-going thing. DET, NOP, OKC, WAS, etc all need bench depth. Plus a weak team like ATL and PHX might want to give Baker a try to see if he fits long term. That's a half dozen possible spots off the top of my head.
And there are pro-leagues all over the world.
Turkey, Italy, France are highish level.
And much more team-oriented than China, where a Ron Baker could do well.
Lesser leagues: Russia, Philippines, Japan, Israel, Greece, Slovenia.
Venezuela probably has gotten too unsafe and out of money.
Probably other leagues such as Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and wherever.
The point being that there are pro jobs all around the world.
But I don't think that the NBA is done with Baker or vice versa.
If he hadn't gotten injured last year, NYK might have stuck with him and not taken on so many other Sg's.
