Spurs leading race to sign McDyess...

[picnroll]

The longer this goes with the Spurs offer on the table the more it seems McDyess is just using the offer to leverage a better deal elsewhere. If he was definite this should have been announced as a signing not as an offer floated with no commitment.

37 pages and nothing yet......

We're about to hit the Spurs' average age.

I'll give this four more hours before I officially get worried.

[anonoftheinternets]

is davis our only option if dice doesnt work? that would SUCK ...

[poeticism707]

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

Friend: you must be HANDS DOWN THE BEST LAKER FAN ON THE BOARD!!!

Apparently, you and Allon have split the ENTIRE ALLOTMENT OF CLASS for Laker fans right down the middle, because it seems few other Laker fans have any.

[Marcus Bryant]

There are options if they don't land McDyess. Yeah, he'd be a very nice fit, but it isn't over if they don't land him.

[slick'81]

soo r we still in "the lead"?!?!?

I think I'll rank the remaining bigman candidates in this order:


1a Bass
1b Gooden




















123127120z Davis

It's official I'm already worried I hate this exemption story.

I won't begin to think about the plan C

Agreed. If Dice chooses not to join the Spurs, I think they'd offer the MLE next to Davis.

Just so everyone knows: ZaZa is already signed, so pretty much if you like him or no, Davis is the next target, imo.

If we could somehow get Splitter to come over this year, how much better/worse off would we be than if we'd landed McDyess?

I think there was some talk about detroit trying to get bass. Is there anyone actively after Bass? I dont think gooden stays here, but then again no one is even targeting him. So he mite take a pay cut to stay. CMON DICE JUST SIGN ALREADY...ITS A NO BRAINER .. i cant take this .. hes obv jus trying to leverage a third year. Can the spurs afford a third year if houston offers him that?

[SonOfAGun]

If San Antonio can't get players who respect the game to want to play next to TIM ING DUNCAN then this city has no prayer whatsoever to survive post TD era.

[in2deep]

I had a feeling the whole time, Spurs would settle with Gooden. Not bad if he does not pan out by midseason, we could be looking at a trade for a decent bigman.

[HarlemHeat37]

David Robinson was his favorite ing player growing up, get Admiral to give his ass a call..

I think it'd definitely be a step down (although you can find some Spurs fans on ST who think Splitter is the Brazilian David Robinson). Splitter has good potential but there's a chance that he's Rasho level or worse as he makes his rookie transition. McDyess is a championship-level starter -- especially as a fifth option. Splitter? No one really knows.

Pistons signed their guys today
