Antonio McDyess accepts Spurs' offer
The Spurs on Wednesday landed free agent power forward-center Antonio
McDyess, a 6-foot-9 Olympic gold medal winner and veteran of 14 seasons who
remains one of the NBA’s premier post players.
Spurs general manager R.C. Buford confirmed the agreement.
Sources close to McDyess said he will sign a three-year contract with the
Spurs, starting at the full, mid-level exception to the NBA’s salary cap
restrictions, $5.845 million.
The third season is believed to be partially guaranteed. McDyess has
expressed his desire to play only two more seasons.
McDyess averaged 9.6 points and 9.8 rebounds as the starting center for the
Detroit Pistons last season. Though he will turn 35 on Sept. 7, he has played
in 109 fewer games, regular season and playoffs, than has 34-year-old Spurs
captain Tim Duncan.
The Spurs also reached agreement Wednesday with free agent power forward
Marcus Haislip, the 13th selection, by the Milwaukee Bucks, in the 2002 NBA
draft. Haislip, also 6-9, has played in Turkey and Spain since leaving the
NBA in 2005. He played last season for Unicaja Malaga, of the Spanish League,
averaging 16.5 points and 5.2 rebounds.
McDyess chose the Spurs over the Pistons, who could not match the money the
Spurs offered. The Orlando Magic, who played in the NBA Finals in June, also
are believed to have offered full mid-level money.
The second pick in the 1995 draft by the Clippers, McDyess went to the Denver
Nuggets in a draft-night deal. He also has played for the Suns and Knicks,
but enjoyed his most successful run with the Pistons, an Eastern power who
reached the Eastern Conference Finals four times in his five seasons there.
McDyess has career averages of 13.2 points and 7.8 rebounds. He also has
played in 84 playoff games, including the seven games of the 2005 NBA Finals,
when the Spurs defeated the Pistons. He was a key backup, behind Rasheed
Wallace and Ben Wallace, on that team. He was one of the Pistons’ most
productive playoff performers last season, averaging 13.0 points and 8.5
rebounds in a first-round series against Cleveland.
The Spurs now have four players – Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and
McDyess – who have been All-Stars during their NBA careers.
Fiercely loyal, the decision to join the Spurs was difficult for McDyess. He
had returned to the Pistons after Detroit general manager Joe Dumars traded
him to the Nuggets in November, part of the blockbuster trade involving
Chauncey Billups and Allen Iverson.
Since he was in the final season of his contract with the Pistons, the
Nuggets negotiated a buyout of the $6.8 million he was owed, and then waived
him. The Spurs were one of several teams that tried to sign him then, but
after waiting an NBA-mandated 30 days, he re-signed with the Pistons, mostly
out of loyalty to Dumars.
The Spurs had targeted both McDyess and his Pistons teammate, Rasheed
Wallace, this summer. They turned their attention to McDyess after Wallace
announced his intent to sign with the Celtics, which he did on Wednesday.
Though McDyess doesn’t have Wallace’s 3-point range, he is an outstanding
mid-range shooter and a more consistent rebounder and defender.
McDyess considers winning a gold medal at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney,
Australia, the highlight of his basketball career. Ironically, he was named
to the 2000 U.S. team as a replacement for Tim Duncan, who withdrew from the
team in mid-August, 2000, because of a knee injury.
Now, McDyess hopes to team with Duncan to achieve the only goal he deems
greater than winning Olympic gold: An NBA title.
