Not getting my hopes up. I'll take it as a pleasant surprise if it happens.
Jeff McDonald: Race for McDyess begins
The Denver Nuggets this week granted newly traded-for forward Antonio McDyess his freedom plus $6 million, in the form of a buyout.
Now that McDyess is a free agent, half the league has expressed interest in signing him. It would be surprising if the Spurs weren't one of them, but it would also be quite the upset if McDyess actually ended up in San Antonio.
The prevailing opinion across the NBA is that McDyess, the former Detroit Piston is in truth a future Detroit Piston.
Like Brent Barry last season, after a league-mandated 30-day wait, McDyess is expected to re-sign with the team that just dealt him.
Just for kicks, however, let's assume McDyess shops himself on the free market. Where would the Spurs stand then?
In that case, Cleveland would seem the most logical destination. The Cavaliers are a contender in the East, and have almost all of their mid-level exception ($5.1 million) to use. The defending champion Celtics are also an obvious contender with money to spend -- about $2.4 million.
The Spurs, who spent most of their mid-level on Roger Mason this offseason, have a little less than $2.1 million available. That would seem to put them out of the running in the McDyess sweepstakes, were there to be a sweepstakes.

not gonna happen
If the Spurs had the most money to spend on him and were completely healthy and had a roster spot open, I'd count them as a dark horse.
just not realistic. hes going back to Detroit.
Why waste money on him? Spurs should be getting #1 draft pick soon
He would be great playing with Duncan but I think he is going back to The D.
The 2009 prospects are not looking great
I would say the race is over before it even began.
i'm not sold on the idea of mcdyess playing for the spurs anyway.
