Spurs sign Dice

[Joe Asberry]

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.

[Glenn]

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

And then, Kstat would disagree.

[WTFchris]

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.
