yea!!!

[Technique]

Reading that article reminded me of his younger days, back when he was dunking on the entire NBA with solid defense.

Also makes me think of how hard it must have been to completely change your entire game plan going from inside the paint dunking on people to developing a jump shot and spreading the floor.

Glad he's back, one of the more appreciated vets in the NBA. Oh and getting a ring with the Spurs wouldn't hurt either. :lol

[admiralsnackbar]

Kick. Ass.

Seems you missed the original article on Feb. 17th...

Jeff McDonald: "ONE MORE YEAR FOR MCDYESS" (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2011/02/17/popovich-names-duncan-an-all-star-starter/)

But still great news!

[silverblackfan]

Very nice. No veteran big man drop off next year.

[AussieFanKurt]

Hope so, he's been quality off the bench

[urunobili]

Awesome news!!!

[Spurologist]

He'll be ready to repeat :smokin

[Dice]

One more year baby!

[rmt]

So how much does SA pay him as only part of his contract is guaranteed?

[TampaDude]

He'll be ready to repeat :smokin

:toast

[BoricuaCJA]

Already a thread posted about this but I'm happy nonetheless. He's a great player and human-being.

What's the deal?

Dice was just interviewed by Pistons media guy after the game, asked him what made him change his mind and decide he is going to play next year, and Dice flat out said that it was a misprint, and not what he said. He said this is definitely his last year.


Has this been covered already? The only thing I had heard was threads like this one where it stated he was going to return next year.

Probably Mike Monroe doing what he does

Fuck.

As much as it sucks it forces Splitter to be a major part of the rotation and gives us the opportunity to add another big man.

[Pistons < Spurs]

If I see anything in print format regarding this from the Pistons side of things I'll be sure to post and update things for you all.

[SenorSpur]

Uh oh. No Dice for next year? The Splitter integration plan will need to be fast-tracked.

Also, another big man will need to be added to the mix somehow - by hook or crook.

Perhaps this is why we're hearing reports of Ryan Richards sightings around the practice facility. That's not to say that he'll be a viable option for next year, but if Dice truly isnt' coming back, this kid's ramp-up will be crucial.

It sure would've been nice if they could've called up Marcus Cousin for a long look before the Jazz snagged him.

[Thompson]

DeAndre Jordan's contract expires after this season...

[timtonymanu]

CIA McDyess?......

[Thomas82]

I don't think the Clippers will let him get away.

[Thompson]

I don't think the Clippers will let him get away.

You wouldn't think so, but I think he's unrestricted (2nd-round pick) and their owner is an idiot.

Man, that would be NICE if we could somehow end up with him. I know Donald Sterling is not wrapped too tight, but I still would be shocked if the Clippers let DJ walk. I would have thought we had a better chance at getting Derrick Favors from the Jazz than him.

[8FOR!3]

lol at the idea of getting Favors the year McDyess retires. Isn't he supposed to have a prime Dice like upside? Even though we've got no shot at him either.

[JR3]

Love the guy.. wish he would sign autos before the game here in utah. He never does. He has two more chances to make it up to me.

[Da Spurs]

If we win the championship, he retires. If not, maybe he'll take another go at it.

[ducks]

dice wins a title he is done this year

[Vic Petro]

I think it was more of McDyess misspeaking than a misprint. He said something to the effect of he was very likely to lace 'em next year when meant hang 'em up.

[Seventyniner]

If we win the championship, he retires. If not, maybe he'll take another go at it.

This. Especially if the Spurs get close (like losing the Finals in 6 games).

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Hell yeah! But still, Spurs need to get him a ring this year.
