Antonio McDyess Emotional as Retirement From NBA Looms

[SenorSpur]

Dice is truly one of the nicest and most geniune guys one could ever meet. A real salt-of-the-earth, understated guy. No matter how much his mind and heart still want to play, the body looks to be betraying him. It's the natural progression of an athlete.

, even a weekend athlete gets bummed when he can no longer play the sport he loves. Believe me. So, imagine when you've done it for a living, been paid handsomely and have literally built your life around the sport. It's got to be gut-wrenching.

I truly wish that he had been able to spend a larger portion of his career with the Spurs.

What a Great Player does the dirty work for the team, stuff not record on the stat sheets.

Who do we bring in next???

Dice needs to end his career an NBA champion. No , but I would probably tear up for him if he did win it all. This guy deserves it.

[Sisk]

It breaks my ing heart of hearts to know a guy played basketball for most of his life, all of his career, is a multimillionaire because of it, probably had more pussy than Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie put together, and is about to retire younger than me. Yeah, I am heartbroken forever.

From what I understand, so long as we can absorb the salary and stay under the cap, there's no need to trade him. After he retires, we can accept a player from any team as a trade exception. We might have to give a 2nd round pick or something like that, but pretty inconsequential.

No. If he retires and rolls off, there is no cap exception for that.

One of the nicest guys to play the game, really hope the Spurs can win him a ring.

I feel you. He deserves it.

yes. I want them to win it so bad I can taste it.

I don't know if there's a classier guy in the league. He's one of the few guys out there you'd still consider a good role model for kids.

I also hope that when the playoffs get here, he lets it all go and plays as hard as his body will let him-not leaving anything out there to look back at and wonder about.

I hope he gets his ring. I know he has not been a Spur long, but it feels as if he has in some ways. Great guy. Wish he could play longer for us.
