Alright, just for fun and to keep the conversation going until we get the McDyess announcement at 3:47 pm, let me pose a question to all of you here.

Alright, just for fun and to keep the conversation going until we get the McDyess announcement at 3:47 pm, let me pose a question to all of you here.

IF, and when I say if, I mean it isn't actually happening, so this is simple hypothetical, irrelevant musing, we could get Lamar Odom or Marvin Williams, or someone else previously believed unattainable (David Lee and Paul Milsap would be on the list if they weren't RFAs) with the MLE due to the financial news for 2010 released by the NBA this morning, would you prefer any of those guys to the McDyess signing, or is Dice your current #1 no matter who is available right now?

Dice #1
David Lee = Same stats on a ty team.
Odom = streaky game
Williams < McDyess
Paul Milsap = Like his game, but he can get better value than Spurs can offer.

Lakers news conference at 1:30 CT. I wonder if they picked up Odom already.

I suggested that for fun we guess the exact time reliable info on Dice's future appears.

[Obstructed_View]

The Lakers news conference is to announce Artest and Brown.

All this technicality stuff is just that. All we really care about is the verbal commitment. I consider a guy like Dice as good as signed once he announces his intentions to do so.

Exactly the kind of character the Spurs look for.

True. I think Piston fans would agree, Dyess is true to his word. I don't think he'll be pulling a "Hedo"

Anyone hear hoopsworld said Mickey D is coming to the spurs?

Going to announce that they signed Karl Malone... oh wait nevermind.

[Death In June]

This story reeks of trade deadline optimism from last year.

anyone have Pop's number? I want to get to the bottom of this.

I'd bet that one was more some re from the Blazers telling the media that the deal was done before it was. Having Paul Allen's money behind you probabaly tends to make you overconfident. Unfortunately Paul Allen can't afford to make Portland any closer to Turkey.

And to laugh at us for sending Bruce away.

Looks like Bass has narrowed his options down to Orlando, Detroit, and Portland.

One factor holding up Bass from signing has been Antonio McDyess. “A lot of the teams are waiting to see what McDyess will do,” adds Dutt. “They’ve shown interest in him and want to wait for him to make a decision first.”

With McDyess rumored to be San Antonio bound, Bass could reach a deal with one of these suitors as early as Thursday.

ESPN is so full of . They just mentioned what was going on with Odom and they said it was pretty quiet, since he was wanting about 10m a year.
But, Portland is interested but not as much as people think.

And, that there is a dark horse in the race. The dark horse is SA which is interested in him and McDyess. Don't they know it's not possible to get Odom?
Pisses me off, they are like amateur gossipers at this point.

If the Spurs thought Bowen was worth having, they could get him with a phone call. So, for that matter, could the Lakers.

If the Bucks wanted to buy Bruce out, when would they do that?

Many seem to be assuming Dyess will be a Spur. Some of the same who called Sheed to Boston early. Let's hope they are correct.

I just saw that. ESPN is all about saying what people want to hear, not what is realistic.

I believe they have until August 1st to buy him out. There has been some speculation that they are holding on to the contract as a bargaining chip, so it might be a while before we know.

Oh, they haven't? Whoops. My mistake.

[lurker23]

His contract becomes fully guaranteed August 1, so sometime before that. One of the speculations I heard is that they will hold onto him up until that deadline to see if someone wants to obtain his contract in a trade.

By August 1st if they don't want to pay the contract in full.
