All the world's contenders pine for Antonio McDyess. With every passing day, Detroit's position grows stronger. McDyess's agent, Andy Miller, makes Cleveland feel better about its chances today, as it is noted that the Cavaliers can offer more cash than the Pistons or Celtics.But maybe things will get a little weird. Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer talks up Larry Brown's love of McDyess and the chances the big man could surprise everyone.
"He would be perfect for this team," Brown said pre-game Tuesday. "He's an underrated defender, he can make a shot and he is the best teammate." [...]If the Denver buyout (in which McDyess reportedly gave back more money than any other player in modern league history) is any indication, we aren't dealing with a normal cat here. McDyess values happiness and relationships. He's not a ring chaser. Richard Walker of the Gaston Gazette notes that in Detroit McDyess was known as Brown's "second son." Anyone else smelling an upset?
Brown has heard McDyess would like to talk to him about the situation, so there's still time for the Bobcats coach to make his sales pitch.
