Spurs leading race to sign McDyess...

[crc21209]

This is BS...if Dice doesnt come to the Spurs today or tomorrow forget it, he's not coming. And we cant be waiting on him forever...

[timvp]

Didn't the Spurs apply for an injury exception at one point and were told they had to wait until after the year the player was out to get compensation?

Charles Smith. And, IIRC, they never did end up getting it.

I've never seen an injury exception granted overnight like the Rockets just got.

[scottspurs]

Houston took the NBA champs to seven games and should only be better this year. If they have more money to give McDyess, why wouldn't he consider it? I wouldn't put it past the Rockets' front office to do it. Plus, adding him makes a divisional opponent that much weaker.

What the Rockets did last year despite all the injuries was great, but they will eventually hurt you. Plus, Mcdyess is not going to Houston.

[crc21209]

I'm not sure that´s in their best interest, considering he doesn't put them over the hump and it's now more evident than ever they can't win now and need to think a few years ahead.

True. They could want some young legs instead...

I think I'm gonna change my avatar...

haha I'm blaming your avatar for jinxing it if Dice decides not to come

Okay, but for the record I never had a Rasheed av.

scott in fact you drive me nuts with your optimistic posts, if you know something, back up the stuff and say it for christ sake.

or maybe you're a Houston jinxing troll

This is the most baffling ing thing I've ever seen. Waiting until today to drop that on the rest of the teams is bad enough, but the Morey has a boner for ing with Spurs personnel moves.

I'm starting to really hate when you make predictions.

nah, they lost Artest, Yao is down for most or all season, McGrady is a question mark so the team they have now will fight but not have the weapons needed to sustain them during the regular season, IMO. Denver's offseason is more of a concern to me and I don't think they can beat the Spurs

[BlackBellamy]

What amount are the Lakers trying to retain Odom for (money wise)?

[loveforthegame]

This is getting ridiculous now. Make a decision already.

Does Houston have enough to sign Odom?

What you think they might be able to do is irrelevant. What they did in the postseason without McGrady and without Yao is what matters. They lost Artest, but they got back Ariza and will likely get back Tmac. They can make a case to McDyess and throw him some extra money. Any Spurs fan that isn't worried is being foolish.

[anjlbitz]

Splitters really not much of a shot-blocker. Hes more likely to hold his position than go for the block.

Yeah I meant to put that. He's a good positional defender.

During FIBA Americas, I was impressed by that and he seems to have a good knack for when to go for the block and when to hold his position.

[timvp]

Morey and Pritchard live to F with the Spurs. Morey hates the Spurs because Lindsey is his arch-nemesis (long story but ownership picked Morey over Lindsey and the two never got along after that) and Pritchard is mad that the Spurs fast-tracked Presti over him.

Let's just hope Morey takes his money elsewhere.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Dice, I know you're reading this thread. I live in Houston. I am a Spurs fan. My wife is a Spurs fan. I'm pretty confident that she'd help me get rid of the body if you sign with the Rockets. Houston's a big city, but are you willing to stake it all on the city being big enough that I never see you? Just some food for thought.

[Muser]

Hopefully Houston s up the Lakers more by going after Odom, but that's just me being hopeful that they don't try anything with Dice

[SonOfAGun]

It's ing great to be waiting on a European big man that won't come to the Spurs year after year.

I was very bummed we missed out on Sheed. If we don't get Dice ...
