There's a couple of reasons I could see overpaying for Wallace...better shooting range, slightly more athletic, but largely because at this stage in his career, he's likely to more durable than McDyess. A 35 year old with a surgically repaired knee playing starters' minutes is asking for trouble.

A "big" rotation of TD, Dyess, Blair, Mahinmi, and possibly Haislip. Not bad. I dont include Bonner in there because he had his chance last yr and blew it. He performed well in the 1st half of the season or so but then dissapeared.
He was pretty damn quick, and could actually dribble between his legs before the back problems....seriously. He was a big of a different ilk, that's for sure.Quote:

If we don't add a piece to tighten up the perimeter defense I hope one of the young guys can step up as a true presence in the paint.

That should confirm that the Spurs will be the highest bidder for McDyess.Quote:
Andy Miller said the Blazers have expressed zero interest in McDyess, the veteran free agent power forward

Hopefully.
What's your point?Quote:

Unfortunately I agree. The only thing that might change his mind is a trade with Utah which would put him back on the bench. Although, he is used to be a role player so even then it could be a stretch.Quote:

There is no point, he just like to rub it. Laker fans have no class, they get behind wife beaters and accused rapist.Quote:

Dice - last 3 seasons: 82, 78, 62 games (not missed through injury but due to trade)
Examine the facts and a different picture is apparent.
I have to agree with Kori though - either of these guys fit us well. I favour Dice over Sheed because Sheed looked like a shell of his former self last year to me, and he makes bad decisions under pressure, but I wouldn't have been unhappy if he'd been our guy.
Yes, thanks for that - shall I dig up some Kobe's rape trial footage for you? No, I'm not nasty like that.Quote:

As for the Shaq clip, I watched game after game where David embarrassed Shaq in the 90s, so that one is a bit disingenuous.
I have the same feeling with McDyess that I had with Wallace.
I don't think he's coming here either.

Magic general manager Otis Smith is in pursuit of another center/forward type who can supplement an Orlando frontline that features only Howard, Rashard Lewis and Anderson now. The Magic never were in serious contention for Rasheed Wallace, who committed verbally to the Boston Celtics, and Smith said Monday he has little-to-no interest in Boston restricted free agent Glen "Big Baby" Davis. Smith has talked to representatives for Brandon Bass and he is expected to begin talks soon with Antonio McDyess about potentially signing with the Magic.

Take bass or gooden please Orlando!
Okay so he was not what dude said he was and great because of that? You post those two things, but dude was a top 50 player all times.Quote:

Otis Smith actually said that he isn't interested in Big Baby "today"..unless they talked to him again..this is what he said earlier this morning..
If McDyess is Plan A and Davis is Plan B, break out your rosary beads, Spurs fans :lolQuote:
Memphis, New Orleans, and San Antonio are interested in Glen Davis, a restricted free agent forward, but no offers have been made, according to an NBA source. The Spurs prefer Detroit free agent forward Antonio McDyess.
