So the fact that David Robinson was his hero then is automatically irrelevant now?!?
That was in the 1990s.

celtics are interested in him atm
Spurs more than likely have more money to offer.
If he wants PT and money, he would sign with the Spurs.
Don't look now but our Eastern Conference Rival is eyeing McDyess
If Morey is smart, he'll chase McDyess too.

Thanks for the update. I know I'm no impartial observer, but I bet he'd pick the Spurs over the Celtics. I think everyone knows Spurs Big Three>>Celt's Big Three. Plus, McDyess has gone against both team's star bigs, I bet he'd rather line up with Tim.
didnt mcdyness nealy had a punchon with kg?
I Know Denver is already considering a buy-out, I Know the Celtics are interested etc. etc. but a trade Mc Dyess for Bonner, Finley and Voughn (and, maybe, a 2 ch.) works perfectly...Denver and Mc should only wait till january 3third !
Unless I'm mistaken, the Spurs would have to take more than McDyess, unless miraculuosly the Nuggets waived two players so they'd have space... but somehow I doubt. If they buy him out though, Pop could wave Tolliver and bring in McDyess. Or he could waive KT/Bonner, but it'd cost more.
I'm no expert of CBA rules, but assuming both teams are willing to wait until the appropriate date, wouldn't a simple trade make more sense for both sides instead of a buyout?
This year, McDyess makes $6,813,050, so we would have to send at least $5,450,440 in salaries back. I'm not sure how much exactly Finley makes, somewhere around 2.5 mil, so sending both Finley and Bonner and a late second rounder would likely make it work (if it's not quite there, then we just rearrange the players we send). For Denver, they gain a pick, actually lower salary a bit, and can then still buy out the newcomers if they want. For San Antonio, even though we get McDyess' steep contract, we're also freeing ourselves of two bad contracts, locking up Dyess for two years instead of just one, and keeping with the 2010 plan. Losing depth at SG may hurt, but we should have Manu back by then and Farmer could get spot minutes. Besides, Finley may come back in Brent Barry style.
Denver would only do this if Bonner and Finley's contracts were expiring. Are they?
They, like McDyess, have two years left, but could be bought out.
I really hope Mcdyess would decide to join the Spurs. Pop better work his magic on this one. Also Duncan should try and get in contact with him to let him know "hey its an odd year" and we all know what happens when that happens.
Duncan/Mahinmi
Mcdyess/Oberto
Bowen/Udoka
Ginonbili/Mason
Parker/Hill
looks like a championhip team
The spurs need to get McDyess. They won't be going far in the playoffs with the frontcourt they have now.
damn looks like nuggets are going to do whatever to keep him around.. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_ar..._for_02_trade/
but the good news is that hes mad at the nuggets.
Get mad, Antonio!!! Come to the team who's city is 75% your name!!!!!!
Listened to a Chauncey Billups interview and he dispelled any rumors that the reason why McDyess may not play for the Nuggets is because he's mad at them. Billups said that McDyess just really doesn't want to move.
Lets quit setting our selves up for more disappointment...chances are he wants to stay in Detroit & he is going to pull a Brent Barry...when he does everyone here will be all upset & shocked because they thought Dice signing here was a sure thing.
Yea im not expecting it either. Ive learned my lessons
Any link to the interview?
There might be one, but I heard it on the radio, Detroit WDFN 1130.
I don't have any link.
If we pick up yet another past-his-prime, waived player, please rename the team, the "San Antonio Graveyards."
I learned my lesson with Charlie Ward for krissakes.
I would love to have Antonio on the Spurs. I really would. I hope he is bought out and the Spurs go after him hard.
Agent: Don't expect McDyess to come

For those holding out hope Antonio McDyess will report to the Nuggets, don't count on it.
"Very, very low to zero," McDyess' agent, Andy Miller, said Thursday in labeling the percentages his client will come to Denver for a third stint with the team.
McDyess was packaged with Chauncey Billups and Cheikh Samb on Monday in a trade that sent guard Allen Iverson to Detroit, but it widely has been speculated since the deal was announced the Nuggets would buy out McDyess' contract.
McDyess, who wanted to finish his career in Detroit, would become a free agent if bought out, but he would have to wait 30 days before re-signing with Detroit.
"For Chauncey, this was a no-brainer," said Miller, who also represents Billups. "For Antonio, this was never a possibility."
Miller said when McDyess signed with Detroit two seasons ago, he believed it would be his final contract and would finish his career a Piston. Miller said he is "having discussions" with the Nuggets and expects a resolution shortly.
"I don't want people to be confused because some people have said 'Dice' doesn't want to come to Denver," Billups said. "Dice loves Denver. He's come here twice. . . . He has a decision to make. He's in the latter part of his career and is tired of moving."

spurs have nothing to lose pursuing mcdyess, but it seems like he just doesn't want to move away from detroit.
It's official... The Nuggets and McDyess have agreed to a buyout... He will be a free-agent....
