    The time issue is very troubling. Do the Spurs look to make an offer to someone like Bass in the interim and see if they can get him to bite, if it looks like McDyess is wavering towards returning?
    If he won't make a commitment with the offer within 24-48 hours, then you make a run after who's left - none of which are as good, but one of whom will have to do - e.g. Big Baby, Bass if available , ...

    If he won't make a commitment within that time period, he is just unlikely to sign. It's not money, he just isn't capable of moving and accepting a great offer from the Spurs. You realize that he will never, ever in a million years sign (if he can't make a commitment within 24-48 hours) with you, write him off as having a freak phobia of winning a championship and move on.

    Yes The City of Detroit is bad it also has some good parts Greektown and other parts. The Pistons don't play in Detroit and the players don't live in Detroit.

    Then they should change their name.

    If you make $5 mil per any place is alright. And during the season I'm not sure if your home city is that important. In the offseason you can live anywhere.

    you know what will be ironic? if detroit clears enough room to offer mcdyess a similar contract. guess what would have contributed to that? that's right, oberto's unguaranteed contract they got from the bucks.

    Detroit's bad parts are just really bad.
    And I believe you also have city and state income taxes, no?

    Unless someone swoops in at the last minute with a crazy offer, Spurs would seem to be in a good spot.

    ]Somebody smart enough to go to the University of Virginia [/B]should be smart enough to make the obvious choice: San Antonio - money, with a contender, a great proven coach and a great team, starter minutes, a chance to make a significant contribution to a championship team, ..


    I feel helpless like watching one of my students who I just know is going to fail a test.

    Who are the Spurs courting who went to UVA? McDyess went to the same school as Robert Horry.

    I think at most that would create an extra $1.5 mil.

    Well, if all of this is correct, the Spurs have a real good shot.
    I give the odds at about ten percent, at best. Perhaps I'm overly generous in expecting him to reach a rational decision. And I don't think reason or logic has a place in his equation. He's already chosen to stay in Detroit. He wants his great, great, great grandkids to live in Detroit, clearly the best city on Earth.

    Damn!

    I've been to both Detroit and San Antonio, and they both have their good and bad places. (I'm from NJ, another good and bad place).
    What part?

    It would be a waste though since even Dumars said that the won't contend this year. What's the point??

    Yeah, the Spurs have gotten lucky with regards to McDyess. I think he was more apt to stay if AJ got hired (or any veteran coach). That had to help, even if just slightly.

    And now the salary cap coming in low helps even more.

    Isn't the correct question: what exit?
