I wonder if this means they also plan on taking Salmons.
Wow...I guess the youth movement is on. It's about damn time.

Sorta puts the lie to all the commentary that the Spurs were not trying to make real changes. Now we'll see if they can find the right partners to make the deals.
Some real news . . .
While I can't really ever feel bad for multimillionaire athletes, it would kind of suck for Dice to be shipped out so soon after he finally made it to San Antonio. He's a class act.
ehh only if the spurs go for another big man maybe blatche for mihinmi and bonner and the spurs trade mason to memphis for sam young and darrel arthur or maybe a future first round pick
The Spurs gave him a nice deal...and if he goes to Denver he will still have a chance to contend for that ring. It works all the way around.
Agree about 'Dyess -- he really is what we've come to expect and hope a Spurs player to be.
But, damn, the guy's never been someone blessed with great fortune (relatively speaking) and this, along with the injuries and late arrival to Detroit, would seem par for the course.
That's unless he ends up in Denver, which could turn that around . . .
Interesting... I thought the Bulls were looking for expiring contracts in a deal... yet they're considering McDyess' contract (unless there's a 3rd team involved of course)?
It's a prelude to a Thomas deal, not a one-for-one type move.
No.
The article says the Spurs are trying to trade Dyess for expiring deals as a precursor to acquiring Thomas.
I think it'd be a three team deal, with Denver or someone else getting Dyess, expirings to Chicago and Ty to us.
Yea, I misread that part.
Yea, that would make more sense.
As disappointing as Dice has been . . . he'd be great for Denver. They would just use him as a spot player, 10-15 minutes behind Martin, Nene and Anderson. He wouldn't be counted on like he is in San Antonio.
Don't know that Denver has anything the Spurs want though.
The way it was said to be a prelude gives you the impression of a separate deal.
I know Woj said sending him to Denver wouldn't make much sense from a compe ors standpoint, but the Spurs have shown they do right by the player more often than not (see: Scola).
I don't think they'd have a problem sending 'Dyess to a contender, so long as it makes sense for their game plan.
It sounds like the Spurs and Bulls have a deal for Thomas the Spurs r just trying to unload Mcdyess 1st.
It wouldn't make much sense to trade Mcdyess 1st just to try to bid for Thomas and then possibly lose out on him
The Pop-Spurs also gave Rodman to the Bulls when all the Bulls needed was a PF. The only other offer was Todd Day, but the big picture was clear even to me as a kid: Rodman + Bulls = les.
Spurs would be able to make Thomas a restricted FA by tendering the necessary Qualifying Offer this summer. They would then have the right to match any offer sheet he receives.
Contrary to popular belief, the Spurs, with Pop at the helm, have done right by their players more often than not. Whether it's the Raja Bell's of the world, Scola or someone like Rodman, they seem to believe in some sort of Karma.
Once you decide to move Dice to clear the way for Thomas you have switched your focus from this year to next year and beyond. So yeah, I wouldn't see strengthening Denver as much of an impediment to a deal.
I like it. I like the strategy a lot.
I remember reading there was some passing interest in Dice from Denver. However, I do not know what the Spurs would want from the Nuggets in return or if they're even willing to deal within the conference.
i do not understand the LOVE for Tyrus Thomas? he's unproven, a headcase, and unpredictable. why does everyone think he's a sure thing to fit here?
we tried that before, his name is Richard Jefferson.
It'd be nice if the Spurs could recoup a first-rounder, should they have to include theirs in a Thomas trade . . .
I doesn't make much sense for the Spurs to trade him to Denver, once again the Blazers/Clippers isn't very logical for the Blazers but it still hapened.
