‘Old Man Dice’ rethinking retirement plan
At 36, the Spurs’ eldest statesman has been playing so well, and feeling so spry, he has lately begun to reconsider retirement.
“If I could play here another year,” McDyess said, “I would definitely contemplate it.”

And with that. team Lickety Splitter throws their collective ropes over the shower rod.
One note: Even if he does retire - by agreeing to only a partial guarantee for his third year, he made it so that he can help the Spurs even past his playing days. Partially guaranteed expiring contracts are gold on the trade market.
(All depending on the new CBA, of course)
dice is boss. but he has to retire if his body is retiring
If he retires, so be it. The guy deserves to do what the he wants after the great play he has provided the Spurs these last couple of years. Ive got alot of respect for guys like McDyess and Kurt Thomas and Kevin Willis who are great team guys.
His body seems to be ok with playing for the Spurs:
“It’s like heaven, because they ain’t trying to kill you,” McDyess said. “It would be easy to do another year here.” (From the above link)
After skying for those dunks last night it seems there is plenty of mileage left in Antonio's tank.
That would be SO sweet. He is doing a wonderful job and he immediately became one of my favorite Spurs by the time he joined us.
Come on Dice one more year!
on the radio yesterday.. they played an interview during practice and he said because of the success we've had so far .. it's made him want to re-evaluate his decision to retire after this season
Sounds like he's going all-out this year. He's hanging it up, folks...
I mean, this 36-year old man is JUMPING EVERYWHERE!
my ......
My only regret is that he did not become a spur earlier. He's so damn good. Love that guys hustle and heart
Please rethink it again Antonio and stay 1 more year.
Retirement means we can't watch him again in basketball after this year, that's a terrible thing.
Just put on new tires and let's go another year Mac.
And all he did was not some Sportscenter bling, look-at-me play, but crash the boards, get in position, time his jump.
SIX offensive rebounds for the old man including two on the last possession.
