Ayres agreed to a deal to play in China on Friday, David Pick of Basketball Insiders reports.

Analysis:

Ayres spent the past two seasons with the Spurs glomming off their team success and sporadically tantalizing the league with his unique skill set and potential. Alas, he will head overseas for a cool $1 million payday, and he may return to the NBA late next year once the Chinese Basketball Association season concludes.
