McDyess is still a good fantasy player to have on your team for rebounds. He scores pretty decent too.
I've always wanted the Spurs to push for McDyess - he's my favorite non-Spurs reserve. He brings an incredible energy off the bench for someone his age/position.

This thread is useless, he's never gonna sign to the Spurs.
McDyess has seen his best time go by, Spurs need younger and fresher bigs than he. His shot is not as reliable and rebounding has dropped. We need size or atleast quickness on the glass, preferrably quickness with size. Remember the Lakers have Bynum/Gasol/Odom
exactly.
It wouldn't be a trade, he's an FA. I wonder who would get waived on the Spurs.
McDyess would be a great addition, no doubt, but why does anyone think he's at all a possibility?
He would be a nice addition to Spurs, this should be a no brainer. But again Spurs I believe Spurs is too stingy if not somehow its economically not fit with Spurs salary cap or something ing like that. Always short on money,if not somehow they dont wanna play here or sumthin. Dont tell me theres no room for him... Looking at how great we did in offseason somehow I get the feeling he will never be a Spurs..he might as well comeback to Detroit..i think he will going back to Pistons
Waive Bonner and bring McDyess onboard.
Where are these players?
We're likely not going to find a younger player who can be effective in the playoffs, but we can trade one of our elders for a better, more effective elder.
From the McDonald article recently posted, I'm assuming that either Desmon or Tolliver would be waived, since their contracts aren't guarenteed. Not sure who I would jettison, but I know who O_V would pick...
my point....we don't need McDyess.
Another thing everyone seems to have forgotten is that McDyess is injury prone, we definatley don't need more of that
McDyess is injury prone yet he played in no less then 77 games in a season the past 4 seasons since joining Detroit. The only person to forget anything was you when you forgot to look up his recent stats.
Right, he has been durable over the years I guess just still remember his major injury. Regardless, I stand by my other statements. Younger. Not McDyess.
Wow, that injury really affected more than him, my outlook of him was skewed.
I'd take him. A solid big, compared to the rookies/mediocre bigs/bonner Tim has backing him up now? Do it.
We have "younger" players. They, nor any young players we're likely to pick up at this point, aren't likely to be effective in the playoffs.
BTW, whoever said he'd be a FA isn't likely to be correct. Denver has said if he won't do the buyout, they'll keep him on the roster anyway. That brings the trade scenario into play.
I'm waiting on Ian and Tolliver to return which is why I say go young. You have Thomas and Oberto and Ian and Tolliver. Throw Bonner in for spot minutes. McDyess is a quality guy but I'd rather they didn't go that route and develop what they have along side the vets.
I'd like to see wait becomes available as the season goes on. The AI deal may have a trickle effect among the other teams in the East that could led to the Spurs getting a nice deal package worked out with someone. Patients, game 3 tomorrow night. Only the 3rd game for the Spurs, no panic. YET
The Spurs can't make a KT+whatever for McD trade until Dec 15th at the earliest anyway, because they signed KT as a FA, and there is a waiting period. Waiting 6 weeks would hardly be a panic move.
Ian and Tolliver won't contribute this year in the playoffs. Bonner and Thomas are serviceable. I want some playoff experience, talent, and athleticism. That's pretty much McD to a 'T'.
KT? Kurt, I don't want them to trade Kurt at all. I like Kurt's toughness but he's needed for Shaq mostly or someone like that. McD is okay I guess but I want them to wait. We have vets like Kurt and Oberto with young guys like Ian and Tolliver on the rise (hopefully). I think Ian may surprise people, even in the playoffs. All he has to do is play off Tim and rebound.
Cleveland would be a great fit a big man that can shoot so when Z went out they dont lose much ... I of course would want him on the Lakers and willing to gve up Mihm to get him ...but i dont think we have a shot ....
8.9pts and 7.4 rebounds in the 07-08 playoffs? Yes please.
I'll have to admit that I'm a bit of a McDyess homer. Going into Game 7 of the 2005 Finals, I said that the only good thing about a Pistons win would be that McDyess gets a ring. That guy is all heart, gives his all to win and you have to give him credit for recovering from that knee injury he suffered during his second stint with the Suns. It robbed him of a lot of his athleticism but most trainers agree that it was the worst injury that anyone has ever recovered from to return to play at a high level. IIRC, Marbury fell into his knee and he tore and broke just about everything in his knee.
Personality-wise and chemistry-wise, I think he'd be a perfect fit. It's still a long shot but it makes a lot of sense for the Spurs to go after him.
Antonio has had his run and now he's done. We should be looking at getting younger, plus we're stocked up in big men department anyway. But if he want's to play back up PG role and do me a favour by ending Vaughn's career then im all for it. Otherwise

Jesus. people doubt that the Spurs should go for Mcdyess if he hits the market?????
Spurs can only offer 2 millions per anyhow and if he in fact would come to SA for that money, it's a no-brainer and a steal. Spurs need frontcourt help, especially considering that KT doesn't look that good this season. currently he would be a huge upgrade over KT. even after all the injuries, he is much quicker and much more mobile than KT is today.
(he is also taller IMO. they are both listed at 6-9, but I would bet that Mcdyess is at least one inch taller, maybe more).
such an acquisition would also open some more options at trade deadline.
