Free Agent: Antonio McDyess - Page 6 - SpursTalk.com

RuffnReadyOzStyle · 07-05-2009, 09:01 PM

As discussed earlier in the thread, we can offer Dice more than the Pistons can - they can only go to about 4mil, while we can go the full MLE. I reiterate (already said it a few times), offer him the same deal Sheed got - full MLE for two years and cross your fingers.

HarlemHeat37 · 07-05-2009, 09:02 PM

The Spurs should send out Holt, RC, Pop, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili to meet McDyess..apparently that works nowadays..

picnroll · 07-05-2009, 09:03 PM

I don't think the money is that big a factor with McDyess. Hopefully he doesn' hook on with LA as a fifth wheel to try to get his ring.

True, but last season he left money on the table to return to the Pistons out of loyalty, then they crapped out, and I doubt he wants to do that again.

Of all the available teams, we offer him the best chance of a ring, unless he's willing to sign for the LLE/vet min, in which case we're probably screwed.

Let's hope his agent convinces him to take real money in his last contract.

The capper for me was hearing about how Ray Allen sucked up to Sheed's wife about his great community service record. I guess ass kissing never ever fails.

So who is in the contention for McDyess, Cleveland, Detroit?

DunParGin · 07-06-2009, 03:01 AM

Someone tell this guy about how awesome the Riverwalk is! He'll come over for sure...

Bruno · 07-06-2009, 05:11 AM

The cap numbers should be released tomorrow and it will quite important in the quest for McDyess.

Pistons team salary against the cap is $55.7M. The latest cap projection I've seen was at $58.6M. So Pistons will only be able to offer a contract starting at $2.9M. If they want to offer more, they will have to do some trades to clear a little more cap space.

The MLE should be between $5.8M and $5.9M. Spurs will be able to offer twice more than Pistons to McDyess.

Even if McDyess has a soft spot for Detroit, twice more money and a legit shot to the title sounds intriguing.

Detroit doesn't concern me, McDyess already said he wanted to play for a contender team and the Pistons aren't one. I want to know what's Cleveland situation.

McDyess's rebounding is EXACTLY what we need. I always thought of him as a scorer, but his work on the glass last season was pretty impressive. Plus, he seems like a classy guy, unlike Sheed. Spurs better offer him everything and more.

Another thing favoring Dice: he won't take 50% of his shots from behind the 3 pt line

Is there a link with a quote from McDyess or his agent that actually states that or is that just speculation from other sources.

loveforthegame · 07-06-2009, 12:06 PM

Hopefully the Spurs are all over him. I refuse to believe that Big Baby is the man we're after.

Bucher's Twitter:

@RicBucher Spurs have made it clear they're going to bring in another big, w/ RWallace to Boston who's their 1st opt?

@wtc07 I know McDyess is on their list. On top of it, possibly

Hopefully that is true.

Just another source that claims McDyess wants the full MLE.

The Wizards continue to have conversations with the representatives of players, and according to a league source, they did put in an inquiry with Antonio McDyess' camp, but the asking price (which would require them to use the mid-level exception, but because of the tax would total roughly $10 million) is too high.

Muser · 07-06-2009, 02:17 PM

Will the Spurs be able to offer full MLE?

DPG21920 · 07-06-2009, 02:19 PM

Yes the will be able to, but I do not know if they will? I hope if they do, it does not go to Baby, but Diceman.

crc21209 · 07-06-2009, 02:20 PM

Spurs need to go out and get McDyess now. He is exactly what the Spurs need.

So what are the Spurs waiting for. McDyess is the best option for the starting big. He will clog the middle along with Duncan on defense and set tough picks on offense while picking up double digit rebounds per game.
