Hoopsworld.com is reporting that the Spurs and Antonio McDyess have agreed to a three-year deal.
Once the Spurs ink McDyess, they will have completed a fantastic offseason after acquiring Richard Jefferson, and drafting DeJuan Blair and Jack McClinton. McDyess should start at PF, joining Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili/Michael Finley, Jefferson and Tim Duncan in the starting five. The Spurs are back.

ok, its just hoopsworld, and they suck, but its been reporpted before...i GUESS its true... i can't blame Dice, 3y/MLE is a great offer, he can start along Duncan and has a good chance to win a ship...his loyalty towards Dumars & his constant effort will be missed!

If he wasn't going to come to Detroit, there's no place I'd rather him be than in San Antonio.

What a hell of an offseason for RC Buford!

I imagine Dyess will start...

C- Duncan/Bonner/Mahinmi
PF- Dyess/Mahinmi/Blair
SF- Jefferson/Finley
SG- Manu/Mason
PG- Parker/Hill/McClinton

They'll probably re-sign Bowen and/or Oberto for bench fodder.

They're deeper than LA if you ask me (assuming Odom leaves).

With an average age of 44.8

I've been saying that they've looked old and slow for 2+ years now, and they ain't getting any younger and faster, lol.

Still, they should have a couple years of contending with those moves. They could still use a backup center to just eat fouls.

3 years for Dice seems odd.

Maybe that's what it took, though.

And I would say the same thing if Joe gave him 3 years.

And then, Kstat would disagree.

Probably player options.

They make the 3rd year a team option with a kicker. It allows them to exceed the MLE for what is really a 2 year deal.

Former Piston forward Antonio McDyess has agreed to join the San Antonio Spurs. Word is he'll sign a three-year deal with two years fully guaranteed and third non-guaranteed year.

They aren't resigning Bowen. Apparently they ended on bad terms. Oberto is possible but I doubt it. They just signed McDyess and drafted Blair, who is supposed to be NBA-ready.

Joe, you might want to change your location....

Good for Dice, get that ring. Bad for Glan, be wrong less.

What was I wrong about this time?

essentially the 3rd year means they'll be paying him to retire come year 3.

great deal for both sides. i HATE to lose dice and HATE that he couldn't win a title in detroit. he will go down as one of the greatest warriors to ever put on a pistons uniform.

one of my favorite alltime pistons...

i really hope he wins a title in san antonio.

You're pretty cocky about that, Fool.

I guess we'll see.

Good for Dice in as much as he's going to a quality organization. As far as getting a ring though... that window is likely closed for the spurs.

Is Dice starting? What does the Spurs depth chart at PF look like?

Joe, you might want to change your location....

better ^^?

Much! Hell, who needs a C?! Amirite

McDyess has been offered a 3yr, $15m deal by SA. Has yet to accept it, according to several sources.

Done deal, just reported.

McDyess, 34, will sign a two-year deal at the mid-level exception for $11.7 million. It is believed there is a partial guarantee on a third season.

This just kinda depresses me as far as my team goes, though I'm happy for Dice. I'd really hoped he could've gotten a ring here.

me too. such is life......

i'm rooting for the Spurs to win the title next year...i hope they are not done ^^

I couldn't agree more with you and Fool and everyone else who has this opinion. He found a great team for him; where he can do his best in the role he likes with a coach who will know how to use him and a team that will appreciate what he brings. I've just become a huge Spurs fan.

Dice is a player who is literally impossible to root against. He seems to be a good person, a hard worker, a good teammate, and practices hard and plays injured. I would be thoroughly satisfied to see him win a ship and will definitely root for the Spurs against anyone except us. Those are the players who you like to see forgo the money and win.

DAMN YOU ALL

Also, 3 yrs/$15m guaranteed is the WOTS
