thats not why he refused to report, he hates Denver
Do you really think he's changed his mind about leaving Detroit? He refused to report to Denver because he didn't want to leave Detroit. When he was then bought out, he refused to join the Spurs, Boston, and even Cleveland. That was less than a year ago. Maybe the trade of RJ would change his mind, but I highly doubt it given the fact he had the chance to join onto a contender to win a le less than a year ago.
That said I believe McDyess has less than a 5% chance on being a Spur next year. IMO
What do y'all think?

He had offers from over 15 teams when Denver released him. All the contenders offered him the same deal he signed with Detroit. So if playing for a le was so important he wouldn't have stayed with the Pistons. He had a choice to go anywhere.
He hates Denver, which was why. The Nuggets were also kind enough to release him. The team may look like a bunch of thugs but they are classy, I will give you that.
I know he didn't like Denver, but he had the chance to latch on any contender. And they all wanted him. He made it apparent he did not want to leave Detroit.
McDyess hating Denver is irrelevant with what I'm trying to say.
Yes..but he probably didn't want to go somewhere when the season was almost over when he already had cohesiveness in Detroit. Beginning of the season is different than the end of the season...you have the preseason and even before to get acquainted with your teammates.
Detroit has no desire in bringing him back
They are going after Boozer and Ariza and Odom.
Because Detroit doesnt want him and Detroit isnt going anywhere anytime soon anyway...why would he wanna go there?
didn't that trade happen only about 4 games into the season?
No, it's the same as Brent Barry's situation. He assessed that he wanted to go where he was comfortable with teammates and the system. He felt that the Pistons still had pieces to go deep. He is loyal. Now, since his time is limited, it's about the ring now and staying in Detroit doesn't give him the best chance.
For me, he's Top 3 for list of Bigs the Spurs should consider.
Wallace
Splitter
McDyess
Gortat
Nesterovic
Andersen
They can only afford two of them. And Detroit does have McDyess' bird rights which means they could add McDyess easily if they were to sign two of those players.
Don't get me wrong I would like McDyess, I just don't think he's as a realistic possibility as other fans may believe.
I was just trying to remind fans that McDyess had the opportunity to latch onto any team in the beginning of the year last year. And he told all the teams that wanted him that he wasn't going to leave Detroit.
How is it unrealistic?
He went back only cause he thought the Pistons had a chance to do something and didnt feel like messing things up in the middle of the year.
The seasons done and theres an offseason.
The PIstons won't get to McDeyss till probobly August, so it would be perfect for the Spurs to go get him.
That's if they wanted to and Dumars hasn't publicly indicated anything like that yet.Detroit does have McDyess' bird rights which means they could add McDyess easily...
Unless he's going to play for free, I don't see how he is going back to Detroit - they have other plans (Odom, Ariza, Boozer, etc.)
It is somewhat realistic, but more unrealistic than realistic. I'd say 70 percent unrealistic and 30 percent realistic.
How is it unrealistic?
I hope I'm wrong though.
it's called bird rights
I think Dice felt indebted to Detroit and Dumars for giving him a chance after suffering some severe injuries. So when he was bought out, no way was he going to any other team.
Dice returned to the Motor City full of good will and ready to give his all during the playoffs.
I doubt he anticipated that Detroit would implode the way it did, shamefully so.
If I was Dice, and I came back to that bull , then I would feel that my debt has been paid in full and its time to move on.
Just from a personal man stand point, I don't know the situation with his family or whatever else he has going on with the city itself, but I would not want to play for the Pistons anymore?
I liked McDyess a lot more before he blew is knee, now he reminds me more of Kurt Thomas for which we would not want to overpay again. Detroit is a dump, have to wonder about anyone that would want to stay there.
Yeah Detroit, a city in depression, is gonna go over the luxury tax
Manu,
hes not going back, he wants to win now, not down the road.
uhhh he averaged close to double digit rebounds.
Has a great jump shot.
Hes way better than Kurt Thomas....
Who says Boozer and another top free agent is going to Detroit anyway? It's not a sure thing.Yeah Detroit, a city in depression, is gonna go over the luxury tax
Manu,
hes not going back, he wants to win now, not down the road.
That said McDyess could very well end up staying in Detroit like when he chose to less than a year ago. You know when every team in contention of a championship was begging him to join.
They are the best team with the most cap space to offer Boozer and Ariza and Odom money.
Boozer to Detroit has been going around for months.
i don't get the big deal about the guy. we're trying to get younger aren't we? what exactly is he good for? he's a jump shooter these days, we already have that in tim and bonner. we need someone who can score it down low if need be, defend, block shots and board the ball. spurs fans need to get over McDyess. i'd rather have gortat or birdman.
A man keeps his word, maybe he made a promise.
