Spurs leading race to sign McDyess...

[timvp]

David Robinson was his favorite ing player growing up, get Admiral to give his ass a call..

Yeah, hopefully Valerie Robinson is reading this and tells Dave to fly from Hawaii to Houston.

I think it'd definitely be a step down (although you can find some Spurs fans on ST who think Splitter is the Brazilian David Robinson). Splitter has good potential but there's a chance that he's Rasho level or worse as he makes his rookie transition. McDyess is a championship-level starter -- especially as a fifth option. Splitter? No one really knows.

Brazilian David Robinson?!?!?

[YODA]

Still no word?

^^Hopefully after their press conference, Dumars tells McDyess to go chase a ring.

Pistons signed their guys today

Pistons signs Gordon, Villanueva

Villanueva costs them 35million. So Pistons still have around 3 million cap room left. Hm...

McDyess said he wanted to give Dumars the last chance to make an offer. But Dumars obviously had to deal with Gordon and Villanueva first. Now that he's got them taken care of he can run the numbers and tell Dyess 'this is what I can do' and then Dyess can decide.

[Mavs<Spurs]

One thing to remember: If we don't get McDyess, it's not because the FO didn't try hard enough or give a good enough offer. Credit Holt for being willing to do what he has to improve the team, even though it cost.

It won't be for financial reasons (barring the Houston situation) that McDyess doesn't come to San Antonio. It would be for other reasons = he loves Detroit.

all it takes is a phone call my man..if there's one guy that would take his time to give a call and help the Spurs out, it's the classiest guy to ever play the game..

[in2deep]

I agree most ppl here will probably curse out the Spurs office if Dice decides not to come. BUT we all know they did everything they could. Props to the Spurs FO!

[it's me]

40some freaking pages already.... on a "possible" signing ... man I want the season to start already.

[Spursmania]

What? No decision? This is not good. Each hour that passes indicates to me that he is not interested in signing with the Spurs. Finding every excuse in the book not to come may mean he just really doesn't want to come to SA.

Geez

After 14 years in the NBA, and after making all the money he's made, you would think he would want the elusive ring or at least a great chance to get one. I guess it's not a no-brainer to him. This is unbeleivable.

[Obstructed_View]

If Nene's the Brazillian Shaq., then Splitter is the Brazillian David Robinson.

I give them major props, but I'd still be bummed if they didn't get McDyess. RC and Pop said they would use the MLE to get a big. If they don't, I will be disappointed.

Exactly. He's almost too loyal to a fault.

I wouldn't risk a phone call. Hop on the plane, Big Dave

[BlackBellamy]

Man, if this is the build up, I can only imagine how nuts this place will be if he signs here or not. Giant fanfare for McDyess!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Shrek looks good in a suit.

[beirmeistr]

Come on, Big Dave. Communicate with McDyess and persuade him to join the Spurs.

I think all of us are thinking the same exact thing !

[K-State Spur]

if we cant land mcdyess i think id too prefer bass over davis

i really prefer bass. bass actually HAS the jumpshot that many posters on here THINK davis has...

[manustarting2gd]

^^Hopefully after their press conference, Dumars tells McDyess to go chase a ring.

BG got that Biggie eye goin on.....

[pad300]

I think I'll rank the remaining bigman candidates in this order:

1a Bass
1b Gooden

123127120z Davis

What, no Rasho?

More seriously, if we don't get Mcdyess, I would not be in favor of giving the whole MLE to any of Bass/Gooden/Davis. Consider our signed bigs - Bonner, Duncan, Mahinmi, Blair, Haislip. I would go after Rasho above Bass/Gooden/Davis. The item we need is a versatile defender/rebounder, not a scoring big. All of Bass/Gooden/Davis are scoring bigs...

[Ryvin1]

waiting sucks, I hate the just hanging waiting, hope Dyess joins us and we find out soon!!!

[coyotes_geek]

If only RC would have given Spurs fans an email address they could send messages to Dyess at.....................

[HarlemHeat37]

ESPN just reported that a deal hasn't been signed yet, due to McDyess' fear of not getting minutes behind Michael Finley at PF..apparently RC was pressuring Pop to tell him that it won't be a problem, but Pop couldn't bring himself to do it..
