Spurs Looking To Trade McDyess

0

According to an article by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the Spurs are looking to trade Antonio McDyess to make way for a possible trade with the Chicago Bulls to obtain Tyrus Thomas.

The Spurs have been searching for expiring deals to move McDyess, who will make $4.9 million next season and is guaranteed about $2.6 million in 2011-12. Trading McDyess would free minutes and give them greater flexibility to re-sign Thomas this summer if they want. Thomas would give the Spurs a younger, more athletic complement to Tim Duncan,and could be part of a future frontline with former first-round pick Tiago Splitter and rookie DeJuan Blair.

Currently, the Spurs have several players with expiring contracts which are attractive to other teams looking to clear cap space.
