Depends on what is said at the meeting with Dumars. If he convinces Dice that he might be able to get the money together to keep him then things could drag. If he wishes him well, then he will likely commit to SA today.
5 years for the Birdman!? Isn't he 30? I guess it's probably 3 guarunteed, two team option.

Nice assessment.
Andersen is a good player, but he's not worth that deal. That contract is a burden waiting to happen to somebody.
Especially since it's freakin backloaded
I can't access the link. How much money is the deal for?
I'd love to help you (as one NWF to another) but I'm fixin' to take my kids to Target, then lunch, then a house viewing. I'm hoping to get a text from the Spurs while I'm out!![]()
"...could make as much as $26 million from the deal, his agent, Mark Bryant, told the newspaper. Andersen could sign the contract as early as Wednesday, when the NBA's free agent signing period begins.
Andersen will earn $3.7 million next season from the contract, which is back-loaded and sweetened with performance incentives, Bryant said, according to the report. "
We'd still miss Bruce regardless. Noone to slow down both Kobe and Artest or even Lebron should we be lucky to get that far without Bruce.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Yeah I hope he is right! -crosses fingers-
Dammit-nothing new yet? Come on Dyess, can't be that hard. There should be a 2mill.+ difference between what we can offer and what the Pistons can offer.
Come play for a true contender for two years and then you can go back and live in Detriot forever...![]()
This link's about two hours old, but the update is from five minutes ago:

The Rich Get Richer: Former Piston forward Antonio McDyess has agreed to join the San Antonio Spurs. Word is he'll sign a three-year deal with two years fully guaranteed and a third non-guaranteed year. McDyess coming off the market also changes the path of Brandon Bass. Rumor has it that New Orleans and Orlando are the strongest suitors for Bass, however sources close to Brandon's camp say with McDyess leaving Detroit, the Pistons - who have a little bit of change left under the salary cap after deals with Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva - will pursue Bass.
Celtics restricted free agent forward Glen Davis will likely have to continue to be patient before he learns where he will be playing next season. According to an NBA source this morning, Davis is receiving interest from Boston, San Antonio, Detroit and New Orleans. San Antonio and Detroit are pursuing Detroit free agent forward Antonio McDyess and the team left without McDyess could immediately turn its attention to Davis. While the Hornets are very interested, financial concerns limit them to only a possible sign and trade deal for Davis. With Davis' restricted free agent status in mind, the Celtics are just patiently watching the situation knowing they can match any offer sheet
Yawn
Epic fail
I still don't think we have heard the last of Bruce. At least I hope not. There is still plenty of time for our FO to do the right thing there.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Another " Yawn "
Among those who could be chased are Drew Gooden, Antonio McDyess, Sean May, Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox. McDyess may have reached a verbal agreement elsewhere before you read this, leaving the Warriors with Gooden, May, Smith, Wilcox or someone outside the obvious box.The new cap, tax and mid-level exception will go into effect at 9:01 p.m. Wednesday, when the league moratorium period ends and teams can begin signing free agents and making trades. The mid-level exception is $5.85 million for the 2009-10 season and the minimum team salary, set at 75 percent of the salary cap.
The Spurs are getting to the point now where roster spots are going to be at a premium, and they're going to have to make decisions on roster spots between vets that might not be able to contribute or young players that might develop into good players.
Sorry man, but I just can't find it in me to believe anything coming from hoopsworld. ( to many fails) but it would be great news if I'm proven wrong!
I think McDyess will make his choice today and I'm quite confident that it will be Spurs.
Sure looks like it on paper. Hopefully that paper will have his signature on it soon.
Oh no. There'd be a report from some other source if it were even close to true. I just thought it was interesting enough to post.
