Union Olimpija confirmed, Baynes moves to San Antonio

From the Adriatric League article:

Baynes received an offer from San Antonio, which Union Olimpija accepted with an explanation that it was a better one than those in December and a unique opportunity for a palyer and a club. "It was a lifetime opportunity for Baynes. We should not be too sad because his move will help also to the club. I am very happy and proud that ur good work was rewarded in such a way," said Union Olimpija's coach Sašo Filipovski.

Great news!
Deserves a shot as he has been great since London and has really stepped up his game. He brute strength will fit right in in the NBA too.
Will love playing with Parker...

@MACDUB - NZ news aren't exactly on the ball. My google search results:

"Reports: Spurs sign Australian big man Aron Baynes - CBSSports.com" - cbssports.com 4 hours ago

"NZ-born Aron Baynes close to NBA contract" - stuff.co.nz 1 hour ago

The Spurs bought out his Euroleague contract for $400,000 then reportedly offered Baynes $3.5 million over four years, with the last two years being team options.

Looks like a reasonable part of the two years could be guaranteed as well. Good on him! After his Olympic performances he deserved a crack.
