Let me explain it to you:NY Times = ESPN Radio?
lefty being lefty . . .
ESPN said "according to the NY times.."
Jeez.............
Well, the NY Times ain't what it used to be; maybe there's still a chance this isn't true.
This guy or bust? RC better be unrolling the red carpet right about now...
As discussed earlier in the thread, we can offer Dice more than the Pistons can - they can only go to about 4mil, while we can go the full MLE. I reiterate (already said it a few times), offer him the same deal Sheed got - full MLE for two years and cross your fingers.
The Spurs should send out Holt, RC, Pop, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili to meet McDyess..apparently that works nowadays..
I don't think the money is that big a factor with McDyess. Hopefully he doesn' hook on with LA as a fifth wheel to try to get his ring.
True, but last season he left money on the table to return to the Pistons out of loyalty, then they crapped out, and I doubt he wants to do that again.
Of all the available teams, we offer him the best chance of a ring, unless he's willing to sign for the LLE/vet min, in which case we're probably screwed.
Let's hope his agent convinces him to take real money in his last contract.
McD or bust...
Please...
We need to give this guy the star treatment..
Get it done.
So who is in the contention for McDyess, Cleveland, Detroit?
Someone tell this guy about how awesome the Riverwalk is! He'll come over for sure...
The cap numbers should be released tomorrow and it will quite important in the quest for McDyess.
Pistons team salary against the cap is $55.7M. The latest cap projection I've seen was at $58.6M. So Pistons will only be able to offer a contract starting at $2.9M. If they want to offer more, they will have to do some trades to clear a little more cap space.
The MLE should be between $5.8M and $5.9M. Spurs will be able to offer twice more than Pistons to McDyess.
Even if McDyess has a soft spot for Detroit, twice more money and a legit shot to the le sounds intriguing.
Detroit doesn't concern me, McDyess already said he wanted to play for a contender team and the Pistons aren't one. I want to know what's Cleveland situation.
So Pachulia, or trades for big men like Foster, Collison or Kaman would be bust too?
McDyess's rebounding is EXACTLY what we need. I always thought of him as a scorer, but his work on the glass last season was pretty impressive. Plus, he seems like a classy guy, unlike Sheed. Spurs better offer him everything and more.
Another thing favoring Dice: he won't take 50% of his shots from behind the 3 pt line
Is there a link with a quote from McDyess or his agent that actually states that or is that just speculation from other sources.
Hopefully the Spurs are all over him. I refuse to believe that Big Baby is the man we're after.
Bucher's Twitter:
@RicBucher Spurs have made it clear they're going to bring in another big, w/ RWallace to Boston who's their 1st opt?Hopefully that is true.@wtc07 I know McDyess is on their list. On top of it, possibly
