Spurs leading race to sign McDyess...

[mingus]

the thought of Big Baby being next in line scares the out of me . hopefully he isn't, but anyone else other than Dice isn't all that great imo. McDyess is head and shoulders the best free agents left at his position . a signing of McDyess would be pivotal, anybody else no so much.

hurry the up, dice!

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

Does that make Anderson Varejao the Brazilian Vlade Divac?

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..

You've got be ing kidding me? Please tell me you're joking? Finley continues to haunt us...

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

OK. While we are waiting for news, it's been reported that McDyess will at least meet with Joe Dumars to see if he can "clear" some cap room to give McDyess a compe ive offer similar to the Spurs.

http://blog.mlive.com/fullcourtpress...t_mcdyess.html

According to the author, the Pistons have a salary commitment of about $53.5 million. With the new cap limit of $57.7 million, that would leave them with about $4 million they could give to McDyess.

What can Dumars do to clear cap space?

Isn't Oberto's salary only about 1 million guaranteed as opposed to the 2 million that Dial says he is supposed to get? Will Detroit waive Oberto, give another million to McD and maybe drop a fringe player and be pretty close?

Also, didn't Detroit trade for Oberto? Are they planning on keeping him, or just wanted the expiring contract?

Speculate away! Detroit may be able to offer a substantial contract to McDyess. I hope not.

I would really like to see the Dice in a Spurs uniform.

Why don't you tell me if he's joking... Finley @ PF?

[timvp]

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...

Rasho is a horrible rebounder and is coming off the worst rebounding season of his career. I'm not sure he's a "versatile defender" either.

I'd take Rasho for cheap over Big Baby at the MLE but there's a chance Rasho would end up on the back of the bench. Coming off career lows in rebounding and blocks per minute isn't a great sign that he's still productive.

I thought it was just a typo? Everyone should know better. Guess I got duped.

[anonoftheinternets]

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.

great post .. hopehtis is true .. and detroit cant afford much .. detroit shud get bass, hes better for them, and mcdyess better for us... cmon dumars dont be a bonehead...

[slick'81]

soo mcdyess would rather stay in detroit of they can match the spurs offer?!?!?no offense but fck him then

[rjv]

not hearing anything does not mean progress has not been made. it is not as if the spurs are not known for keeping things mum.

in fact, no team is better at keeping things on the low than are the spurs.

This has to be an anti-jinx comment, right?

Oberto got waived last week so Dumars has already played that card. If he wanted to match the Spurs offer he needs to find a team under the cap or with a trade exception and give away someone like Afflalo.

I think people need to calm down

[rjv]

honestly, is it that hard to distinguish between the BS and sarcasm posts and reality?

[Spurs Brazil]

I'm going to the soccer field to see my team play.

I'll be back in 3 or 4 hours and hope to see it's a done deal. If it's not I think our chances are getting smaller

We're calm!

If the Spurs lose Dice, I'd rather they lose him to Detroit than Houston.

What is Popovich's love obsession with Finley? Isn't he on the downside of his career?
