Last season he was the top rebounder (8,7 rpg) and sixth scorer (13,6 ppg) of the Greek league as a member of Ikaros BC. Aron Baynes is now considered as one of the best center in Euroleague after his performance with Union Olimpija and there are many teams knocking the Slovenian’s door in order to sign him immediately.
Besides Maccabi Tel Aviv, which is thinking a total front line overhaul, Caja Laboral is interested in him, but there are also some NBA teams that asked about him. However, the best they are willing to offer him is the minimum rookie salary, so the idea of moving across the Atlantic is not very appealing to him.
Australian center’s contract has a buy out which can be used after the end of Euroleague’s regular season and after Olimpija missing the Top16 qualification it’s more than evident that if the price is right the player will be shipped to the highest bidder.
