I can definitively see Spurs doing another trade this summer.
Saying that, the current roster is really good and if Spurs call it an offseason, I'm damn fine with it.
I got nothing but love for Dice. He is a very smart player who works very hard every game. Even when everything seems lost he is still working. Even at his age he brings great hustle and often makes those little plays that make the difference when getting a win. This is the team he deserved, a classy organization with a real chance at a championship.
I'll be rooting for the Spurs to get the championship.
Welcome aboard sir.
"Win it for Dice!"
Agree.
But, I really feel they've got another move, it just might not be until the deadline. (Unless, Splitter?
)
but with whom?Agree.

anyone heard from Ghost Writer? pretty much had a premature shower rod hanging a week or two ago
Someone needs to thank the Dallas Mavericks. If they hadn't bounced the Spurs so badly in the first round this season, Spurs front office perhaps wouldn't have felt such a push to make something happen.
I think tp had seen enough
he was wanting things done
2 years in a row one of their major pieces hurt in playoffs
atleast if one of them is hurt spurs now have jefferson who should be able to help
a lot of Spurs fans from china !!!wow
The national view.
Free agent McDyess chooses Spurs
By Paul J. Weber
The San Antonio Spurs landed free agent Antonio McDyess on Wednesday in another big offseason pickup for the aging NBA power that apparently isn’t ready to fade away just yet.
McDyess, who despite being 34 was among the most sought players on the market this summer, reached a deal with the Spurs and is expected to sign later this week, team spokesman Cliff Puchalski said.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the Spurs had their full midlevel exception, worth about $5.85 million this season, to offer the 6-foot-9 forward. McDyess spent the last five seasons with Detroit, which also officially lost Rasheed Wallace on Wednesday when the veteran signed with Boston.
The Spurs reportedly sought Wallace, too, but got what they were looking for in McDyess: a big and proven frontcourt presence alongside Tim Duncan. The Spurs have won four NBA championships in the Duncan era, but their star centerpiece will be 33 come next year’s playoffs.
With their window for a fifth le shrinking, the Spurs began a busy offseason in June by trading for Milwaukee swingman Richard Jefferson in a four-player deal that pushed San Antonio into the luxury tax.
Between Jefferson and McDyess, the Spurs have added two former Olympians to their lineup after being ousted in the first round of the playoffs last season for the first time since 2000. Following that series, the Spurs candidly admitted to not packing the same firepower as Dallas.
McDyess averaged 9.6 points and 9.8 rebounds in his 14th NBA season. His rebounding average last season was the third highest of his career.
The second overall pick in the 1995 draft, McDyess spent six seasons in Denver and also had stops in Phoenix and New York. He has never won an NBA le, going to Detroit the year after the Pistons won their last in 2004.
San Antonio also added a lesser-known big man Wednesday in Marcus Haislip, the former first-round pick who spent the past two years in Spain after fizzling in his first three NBA seasons. The 6-10 forward was picked 13th overall by Milwaukee in 2002 before going to Europe to work on his game.
The Spurs also brought back forward Malik Hairston, who played 15 games with the Spurs last season and spent much of the year in the NBA development league.
San Antonio needed size after dealing backups Fabricio Oberto and Kurt Thomas in the Jefferson trade. The deal amounted to a salary dump for the Bucks, who wanted to shed the $29.2 million owed Jefferson over the next two seasons.
It has to be official...even Ginobili welcomed Dice on Facebook.
Mistake by both of them. Duncan is 33 now, he'll be 34 during the Playoffs next year (April 25).
Well, the roster is shaping up at last.
I don't know if I would put this up there with the imacculate conception or anything, but it's pretty sweet.
oh dang i forgot mcclinton. i hope he pans out too, seems like a good kid and the FO loves him.yeah. We have A LOT of young talented players here now who may be able to make an impact on the team this upcoming season.
Hill, Mahinmi, Blair, Gist, Haislip, Hairston, and McClinton. WOW.
In your sig: change Bonner from C to PF, and WTF is Blair?
Great job front office! When I first entered the site and saw 900+ viewing, I knew they got it done. BELIEVE!
Nice to see Spurs fans happy.
