Spurs leading race to sign McDyess...

[Obstructed_View]

I just saw that. ESPN is all about saying what people want to hear, not what is realistic.

Just remember: At ESPN, "Entertainment" comes before "Sports".

If the Bucks wanted to buy Bruce out, when would they do that?

I read the Bucks are trying to see if Bruce can be dealt and traded before the August 1st deadline (someone correct me on the date if I'm wrong). If they don't waive him or deal him out by then, they will have to pay him the full 4 million of his contract. It's pretty safe to say if they have no takers, they will waive him. And only be obligated to pay him the 2 million he's guaranteed.

The article stated there were some bites, but nothing has transpired yet.

Out of curiosity, if Bruce is released, does he still have to wait the 30 days before the Spurs can re-sign him or did that go out the window when he wasn't immediately waived?

I think you'll be a happier fan just letting it go... Even Manu said that he doesn't think Bruce will be back and he is a close friend...

I believe its thirty days after the trade.

I believe you have to wait 30 days because he has not suited up for the Bucks in a game. I sure do hope Bruce finds his way back to SA.

If doesn't matter if a player, owner, or FO employee says it: ANYONE calls Bruce back to the spurs before he's waived and some time has passed, you can bet the League will gladly take RJ and our chances at a le away.

If I'd said "Out of love for Bruce and a burning desire to see him become a Spur again", then your suggestion would be appropriate. Since I said, "Out of curiosity"...

If Bruce is waived, Spurs can re-sign him 20 days after that he was traded.
Bruce was traded on June 23rd.
Players also stay on waivers for one week.

So, if Bruce is waived today, all teams can't negotiate with him for one week. After that week, all teams (including Spurs) can negotiate with him and sign him.

If Bruce is traded again, the Spurs can still sign him if he is waived by that team, right?

As of right now, the Spurs are equal with all teams. I can't imagine anything happening going forward to change that.

Yes. The 20 days (it's 20 and not 30 because it's the offseason) clock has started when Spurs have traded him.

The more i look at Mcdyess and see his interviews he looks like your typical Spur. Humble, team first, loyal and passionate.

come on dice....

[tp2021]

I am crossing my fingers that he comes back.

[Thomas]

I always liked Mcdeyss

[loveforthegame]

Of course nothing will happen while I'm sitting here.

Off to work now. Hopefully something will be announced by the time I get back.

wtf?

[will_spurs]

What about his FT shooting? That's the real deal-breaker.

[The_Game]

only problem with Dice is he is only 6'9 and can't block shots and his man to man D isn't amazing but everything else he ticks all the right boxes.

Then again, if he was 7'0 and still had hops, we probably wouldn't be getting him for just the MLE. And neither would anybody else.

We've already got three stars, borderline four with Jefferson. All we needs now is some role players. While I wish he did bring a little bit more in blocking to the table with Timmy getting older, I think McDyess fits the bill pretty damn well.

i agree

for the MLE thats all you can ask for....Dice is a great person and a great team-mate and will fit in great with the Spurs

I pray you sign him as it will make our match-ups that much better to watch and argue about lol
