Several sources are indicating that the Spurs have moved to the top of the list of teams that could land Antonio McDyess Wednesday.

July 7, My San Antonio: The Spurs have emerged as the frontrunner in the chase to land free-agent forward Antonio McDyess.

According to a league executive with knowledge of the negotiations, the Spurs have offered McDyess a three-year deal starting at the full mid-level exception, with the third year partially guaranteed.
It has been widely speculated that McDyess, 34, will play only two more years. If the Spurs' rumored bid is true, the Spurs have essentially sweetened their best two-year offer by guaranteeing McDyess a bit of money for retirement in 2011-12.

The Pistons can't beat that deal. So McDyess can get more money, and also have a better chance at winning a Title with the Spurs. There has been no better professional than McDyess the past several years in Detroit, and while it might be sad to see him go, Antonio deserves a chance to get his ring.
