Antonio McDyess has agreed to sign with the San Antonio Spurs, according to HoopsWorld. It’s likely to be a three-year deal, which is pretty hefty for Dice’s condition, but good for him because I’m sure he was looking for someone who would sign him for at least two years. Guess this is Dice’s final push for a ring.

This could also open the door to signing the Mavs’ forward Brandon Bass.

It’s a shame we had to lose another veteran to another team that I absolutely hate. At this point, however, I really don’t blame him for leaving.

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 a third non-guaranteed year. McDyess coming off the market also changes the path of Brandon Bass, rumor has it that New Orleans and Orlando are the strongest suitors for Bass, however sources close to Brandon’s camp say with McDyess leaving Detroit, the Pistons who have a little bit of change left under the salary cap after deals with Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva will pursue Bass.

All of it may be futile, as it’s believed the Dallas Mavericks have told Bass to find his best deal and they would likely match it. Bass is unrestircted so he can choose any team he likes, but if the Mavericks will top the best offer he receives, he may be a free agent ghost.
Magic GM Otis Smith is expected to take the entire seven days before making a final decision on restricted free agent Marcin Gortat, with an informed sources saying Otis intend to play Gortat against Bass, saying to Bass if he does not make a decision on Orlando the team would match Gortat. It’s believed Antonio McDyess was the second name on Orlando’s wish list.
