    Possibly signing McDyess shores up about 60% of the problem in our frontcourt. We need Blair, Bonner (or whoever), and Mahinmi to fill the rest of the gap.

    Art Garcia from NBA.com said he won't be back in Detroit

    Detroit has already lost Rasheed Wallace in free agency to the rival Celtics, and won't be bringing back fellow veterans Allen Iverson and Antonio McDyess. The arrival of Gordon likely means the end of Rip Hamilton's stay in Motown. Another mainstay, Tayshaun Prince, could also be on the move.

    Spurs out in front for McDyess
    By Jeff McDonald on Jul 7, 09 05:14 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) Save & Share Yahoo! BuzzYahoo! Newsvine del.icio.us Facebook Google Reddit Fark
    The Spurs have emerged as the frontrunner in the chase to land free-agent forward Antonio McDyess.

    According to a league executive with knowledge of the negotiations, the Spurs have offered McDyess a three-year deal starting at the full mid-level exception, with the third year partially guaranteed.
    It has been widely speculated that McDyess, 34, will play only two more years. If the Spurs' rumored bid is true, the Spurs have essentially sweetened their best offer by guaranteeing McDyess a bit of money for retirement in 2011-12.

    The 6-foot-9 McDyess emerged as the Spurs' top target after Rasheed Wallace -- McDyess' former teammate in Detroit -- agreed to terms with Boston earlier this week. He is also being pursued by Cleveland and Orlando.

    How do the Spurs convince McDyess that they need him?

    Just show him the Spurs roster at PF/C. That should do the trick.

    I'd rather gamble on Dice's health than Rasheed's head. Money well spent IMO.

    Nice.
    Spurs got Hedo and RJ with these kind of contracts.

    That third year may be a moot point. For all we know, the championship window could be slammed shut by then.

    I'm just fine with the deal they're offering him.

    Come on McDyess, time to sign up.

    Those partially guaranteed final years wind up being pretty valuable.

    Why do the Spurs need to sweeten the deal? What part of 'joining a championship contender' needs sweetening???

    Props to the FO in pulling out all the stops to try to lure him here. They obviously see the need and adding the third year is a nice extra incentive for Dice to head this way.

    I think the Spurs is the best offer. If he doesn't accept is because he really doesn't want San Antonio

    That might have done it.. Dice would be stupid not take this deal.. That being said, I still don't think it's gonna happen.
    Glad to hear the spurs are pushing hard though.
