I wonder if that means this season and next season ... or 2.5 seasons. It sounds like the rumored two unguaranteed years at the end of the contract didn't happen.

It sounds more like it means 1.5.

David Pick, who has been really close to the whole story, also said it was a 2 years guaranteed contract with a $350K buyout.

Daniel Moldovan ‏@dmoldovan88 Very happy to announce that my client @aronbaynes has signed a multi yr contract with the San Antonio Spurs.

[Bruno]

I will be interested to see how Pop will mange his 13 players active roster when everybody will be healthy. Joseph will obviously be an inactive player but who will be the other? Baynes, Bonner, Blair, De Colo, Mills? Will pop rotate players at the 14h spot?

Now that the signing is done, Spurs could also be more active to trade away Blair.

That's a RJ-esque V-Neck tbh.

[Man In Black]

Check the Nieman Print in the back!!! WANT IT!!!! Big 3 laying the smackdown on the Mavs.

[capek]

of course playing a guy after just signing might look bad and lower the trade value of the guys (Bonner/Blair) if he got more minutes than them tonight.

There's a number lower than zero?

That's a RJ-esque V-Neck tbh.

PM us when Blair has one too. Because he never has had.

[loveforthegame]

Finally.

Was hoping he would play tonight. Or at least be available.

[Trill Clinton]

naw that v-neck is fine.

rj's v-neck went all the way down to his belly button.

[JR3]

Can't wait to see him play. We needed his skills.. lets hope he brings it every night.

[crc21209]

Finally! I'd hope Pop would throw him out there tonight, especially against bigs like Davis and Lopez, but it probably won't happen. At least he's signed though!

rofl it's even the same color.

Cameron Cox ‏@CamCox4 #Spurs new center Aron Baynes will not talk to the media at 5:35, instead the press conference has been pushed to after 6:30.

Daniel Moldovan ‏@dmoldovan88 Very happy to announce that my client @aronbaynes has signed a multi yr contract with the San Antonio Spurs.

I guess multi-year could = 1.5 years. Hopefully someone leaks contract details soon.

[RodNIc91]

Can the press conference be seen ace?

[Captivus]

I just want to see him standing next to the other guys, just to see how big he is.

[Trainwreck2100]

Now the spurs can unleash their 5 Caucasian lineup in Utah, and which will nullify the jazzs home court advantage

[ace3g]

Can the press conference be seen ace?

Not sure. Also unsure if it is a true presser, might be on local news in SA

Aron Baynes ‏@aronbaynes Excited to be a part of the @spurs! Can't wait to get to work #firststep

[pgardn]

Blair's mom will welcome this kid with a rear-naked choke.

The thought of this is quite unsettling in so many ways...

[timaios]

Where can I get one of those practice jerseys ?

[will_spurs]

I was a bit afraid Baynes wouldn't be getting any PT this season (or very little), but if the deal is confirmed at 1.5 years then the Spurs are obviously expecting him to play right away, which is good news.

[Chinook]

That's terrible for us if it's this season and next season. Opens us up for a poison pill contract ala Asik and Lin

It depends on the Spurs' cap situation (in addition to Baynes' performance, obviously). If the Spurs have cap room, then the poison pill won't take effect. I imagine they will if Baynes blows up to the extent that the Spurs would want him on a big-money deal, as that would probably mean Splitter wasn't retained or is ineffective or that Duncan hit a major breakdown and wants to retire. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense to spend a lot of money on a third-string center.

Bonner at the 3 would be... interesting.
