So, is anyone else going to guess the time we hear (from a reliable source) about this today? As I said on the last page, I'm going 2:38pm SA time.
Ruff, what do you think regarding Sheed vs. McDyess and which was the Spurs first option? McDonald keeps saying Sheed was the first option but it didn't seem like the Spurs gave much of an effort. Going all out for McDyess could mean McDyess has been the number one option all along .... or it could be the Spurs don't want to strike out on both

It's about 8:15 a.m. in the San Antonio / Austin area.
I guess it will become official at 4:01 p.m. today.

You have time till the real info about McD come up
I would really appreciat it
Hopefully it's at some point today. It sounds like McDyess wants one final meeting with Dumars. If Dumars tells him to hold on for a while, that would suck
i also think that Antonio is a better fot for the spurs then Rasheed would be. And it's not about his name, but the style of play.
Like twitter!
Oh man...Here in Slovenia it's already 3.20 P.M.. I gues I'll have to be up all night to hear some news.
I always thought McDyess was the best fit and thus the guy we were targetting. I'm pretty sure there's a post or two stating that, either in this or the Sheed thread. However, having said that, the FO had to appear to be giving it a go in relation to Sheed to mollify the fanbase who otherwise would have rioted and stormed the AT&T demanding to know why we didn't pursue Sheed. Also, it is typical Spurs style to make some noise in one direction whilst actually going in the other, so that fits the profile too.Ruff, what do you think regarding Sheed vs. McDyess and which was the Spurs first option?

As you say, the FO didn't really try that hard for Sheed - if they were serious there would have been a delegation sent to his doorstep ala Boston. But I think they knew that Sheed is not a Spurs kinda guy - Boston wasn't just a good fit for him from a basketball perspective, but also a media exposure perspective, and an existing relationships perspective (KG).
And yeah, why not have a go at both.
Return question for you - Gist is all over town telling people he's playing for the Spurs this year, but how does that fit with the Haislip signing? Is their intention to mould James into the backup 3?
Talk about nail biter.Hopefully it's at some point today. It sounds like McDyess wants one final meeting with Dumars. If Dumars tells him to hold on for a while, that would suck
Yeah, I was assuming they'd be having brunch today at the Cheescake Factory!Hopefully it's at some point today. It sounds like McDyess wants one final meeting with Dumars. If Dumars tells him to hold on for a while, that would suck

McDonald has 1.5 new blog posts. But they don't say anything we don't now.
In the second blog post, it looks like he was about to do the math of how much McDyess' contract would cost Holt in luxury tax and then gave up
Thats my McDonald!http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/

Bruno should definitely have his job. Actually, a tag team of Bruno, you and Kori, and the 48moh guys would make an incredible Spurs blog...
BTW, you really should update your trophies - shouldn't you have about 4 more of them up there (damn you!)? Also, I'm liking my Pierce for Harden trade right now (Harden is a Spurs kinda guy - love his game, and he landed in a perfect situation in OKC), and getting Earl Clark back (only better fit for him would've been the Warriors, and then maybe not because they are stacked with similar guys). My DL II team will be a surprise this year methinks, and in DL I I've got the same killer top 7, but no draft picks. Wanna take Kidd or Nash off my hands for some picks?

Villenueva is in town, and I suspect Gordon is aswell, to sign their deals. And it sounds like Joe's made the decision on the HC position. So there's likely to be a presser today, and I'd like to think he'll have the Dice situation settled one way or another by the time he addresses the media.
Perhaps he is waiting for Bruno to do the math for him.
That would be awesom to sign Dice.
A true player worthy to be in silver and black.
Just sign Antonio!
I've been trying to figure out that Gist question and I think there might be room for him on the team if you consider the Toros. Mahinmi can't play in Austin anymore, neither can Marcus Williams.
So even if Gist is the seventh big and would never get playing time with the Spurs, he might be brought over to lead the Toros this year. Outside of Gist, the only player that makes sense for the Toros is Hairston -- but Hairston isn't really a d-league player to build around.
So yeah, if Gist is put on the Mahinmi plan of being the franchise player in Austin, the Spurs may think that's good for Gist and good for the Toros.
Lots of good things seem to be going our direction since my head hit the pillow last night. If we can get past the meeting with Dumars then we are home free. After being burned so many times, I am trying hard not to get my hopes too high...but things look very, very promising.
Yeah, that makes sense to me. Maybe James should lower his expectations a little though. I've seen at least two reports of him saying he'll be playing for the Spurs this year. I hope he doesn't get discouraged if he spends most of his time with the Toros.
You know it's funny, Gist keeps telling everyone that he will play for the spurs this season, but I don't see where he'll get playing time..
Parker/Hill/Williams or McClinton
Mason/Manu/Hairston
RJ/Finley/Gist
Dice/Bonner/Haislip
TD/Mahinmi/Blair
I'd go to war with that squad any day.
If that's the way we end up, what an incredible job of getting younger and rebuilding on the fly whilst still contending. If that's the way it works out, the FO-bashers should really STFU.
Try reading the posts above!
Maybe Spurs want him to learn their system in Austin so he's good to go in 2011.
Mahinmi better show something real soon or he's toast.
Gotta go to a business meeting
Who wants to do me a favor and send me a text if any major McDyess news hits?
