That was the very first thing I said when this trade happened, you bunch of copiers! J/K, but he would be a nice fit and I would assume Farmer would be waived
Who do we get rid of to make room for him?

McDyess doesn't want to leave Detroit, but I think there's also an element that he doesn't want to play in Denver or in their style of play. If there were any other team Dice would be willing to play for, I think San Antonio would be it. Not saying he is willing, just that if he were, the Spurs would seem like such a place. And, he would appear to fit the Spurs pretty well. He does defend the center position pretty well for only being about 6'9" and 240, but then again, he hasn't had to consistently defend the likes of Shaq, Yao, Bynum, Oden, Jefferson on a night in, night out basis. Duncan would have to devote more time to the center position. But, McDyess will give great effort and will hit a high percentage of his open jump shots up to about 17-18 feet, especially at the free throw line extended areas and from the top of the key. And, from time to time, when his legs are fresh, he will have a monster rebounding game. He is pretty smart and won't demand a lot of touches.
He would fit well with the Spurs. But, from stuff I've read over the last couple summers when there were rumors that he might be traded, it's as if he's more willing to retire from the NBA altogether than to go play for another team. So, I believe it would take a great deal of convincing.
Who do you get rid of for McDyess? C'mon. You can get rid of Tolliver/Bowen/Bonner/Thomas
McDyess makes perfect sense for the Spurs.
Farmer...no brainer.
Get him!
Him and Duncan were supposed to be the same types of players, but Dice had injuries in his career.
He will most likely return to Det but he would be a nice pick up, better than the crap we have up front.
I would love to have Mcdyess. Hed be a shoe in in the spurs system. Good defense. smart player, and even for his age, he could still throw it down from time to time.
If by chance the spurs were to get him i can see him stealing the starting spot. Imagine a frontcourt with Duncan and Mcdyess and Oberto/Thomas/Mahinmi coming off the bench.....that would put us ahead of the Lakers in my opinion.
go get him!!!!!!!!
Would be a nice pick up, guy is a good defender who can shoot and rebound.....a better KT if you ask me. Hope he would lissen to an offer. Pistons have no shot in the east so I think he may consider it.
god, i hope we get him. we only had one successful deal this year with mason. and hill seems to be our only good draft pick. we need more luck and mcdyess is the perfect fit.
I'd put the chances at getting Antonio McDeyss the same as getting Corey Maggette.
He was just included in the Billips-Iverson trade today.
do you guys ride the short bus to your computer? .. mcdyess is a has been, he's washed up. how old do you want this team to be? ...
you guys never cease to amaze me with your bull .
mcdyess sucks.
you know something you suck
from NBA.com:
There is one sticking point to the deal, though. TNT analyst David Aldridge reports that McDyess does not want to go to Denver, and a source close to him says "he will not put on a Nuggets uniform" and may opt to retire.
Because of McDyess's objection, the Nuggets may waive the mandatory physical each player in a trade must take in order for the league to approve any deal. McDyess may be seeking a buyout of the remainder of his contract (two years, $13.6 million).
A source with knowledge of the trade discussions says that the Nuggets would be willing to discuss a buyout with McDyess, but only if he agrees to a "significant" amount less than the $13.6 million he's due through the end of the 2009-10 season.
According to the source, McDyess would have to give up about 50 percent of his salary, meaning he'd have to agree to take about $6.8 million of the $13.6 million he's due in any potential buyout if he wants to play elsewhere. Otherwise, the Nuggets will keep him on their roster regardless of whether he decides to report or not.
The Nuggets are extremely close to the luxury tax number of $71.1 million. Teams that spend more than that on player salaries have to pay a dollar for dollar penalty if they exceed the amount; every dollar spent above $71.1 million thus costs a team $2 in tax.

do you still drive a trans am and wear a mullet? McDyess hasn't been good in at least 5 years.
Robert Horry > McDyess
Can the Spurs offer him more money than Detroit?
If he takes a lower buyout I think he'd consider the Spurs over the Pistons if we could help him make back some of that money he'd lose from accepting the buyout.
I don't know about his game though. I didn't watch much of Detroit last season so I'm not sure about that. He was pretty good though the few seasons before last for the Pistons.
You're joking, right?
McDyess has been extremely serviceable over the last 4 or 5 seasons.
i think Sequ has been out drinking, because McDyess is a solid player even this late in his career.

McDyess would be the best big next to Tim since David. He put up 8.8/8.1 in 31 minutes last year. If he's totally against a buyout, I say ship KT + filler (Bonner or Finley) after the trade restrictions for McD and the signing restrictions for Thomas expire.
Hmm Thomas and scrub for Dyess sounds pretty reasonable, though I'd still like to see Finley around.
McDyess would solve the gaping hole in the Spurs front line. Do whatever you can do to get him. Spurs guards are very very good so no weaknesses there.
When's the last time Horry averaged 8 and 8? McDyess did that LAST YEAR
