The San Antonio Spurs have emerged as the leader in the courtship of free agent forward Antonio McDyess, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
San Antonio is one of three teams offering the full mid-level exception over two years, sources said. No deal is imminent, but it’s believed McDyess has offers from the Orlando Magic and possibly the Cleveland Cavaliers.

by matching the mavs offer
for gortat, does that mean that we can’t trade him for one year after he signs with us?
Nah' mean, nah'm sayin
No, the Magic wouldn't have to wait that long.
If memory serves me correct.

Well, my memory serves me wrong.
Thanks for the answer.

so
could we fill out our roster after matching gortats offer, continue to let him show what he can do for the first part of the season and then trade him to a team that can play him a lot and in return round out a playoff roster with the pieces that we need?
Nah' mean, nah'm sayin
Gortat would have to approve of the trade, if I'm interpreting Ben correctly.

It's one year from the date Orlando matches
Here’s a link if you really want to read more. Otherwise, as Ben said, Gortat does have to approve.
Did the Magic end up extending a qualifying offer to Gortat?

I think yes they did
They had no choice really. No reason not to because otherwise he’s restricted.
I do caution that you don’t want people to get the idea that the Magic can S&T Gortat if they do match. The Magic definitely can’t do that.

Or Gortat's un-restricted

Doubt Orlando matches Dallas' offer sheet.

I wonder if we are offering the full MLE?

I don't know, but I have a hard time believing that McDyess will sign for less than the MLE.

Am I really reading this correctly?
McDyess being offered the full MLE. That’s what…5.5-6 mil a year? That seems like a bit of a stretch to me. And by a bit of a stretch, I mean a huge one.

Just about, yeah.
Teams need a big man .. supply and demand.

He's not gone yet. Leaning toward SA, but nothing's final. No commitment, nothing's imminent.
Magic should push hard for him.
plus
lakers got better wit artest
spurs got better with jefferson and now possibly dice
cavs got better with shaq and maybe bass
boston got better with wallace
…orlando switch hedo and lee for carter… :-(
Anderson
Starting look like a real player..
How much is Sessions asking for?

Drew Gooden and Matt Barnes- Should be our two targets, considering what we can afford.

Sessions is asking for too much.

And he's not anywhere near worth it either

Gotta say I agree with Wmillion
I think Gooden is an excellent target for the Magic. He can play the 4 & 5 in many cases. Orlando desperately needs a player like that. And, Gooden is younger.

Maybe. He'd be a headache on defense and I don't know if SVG wants to deal with that.

No, but you can minimize the imperfections depending on who you're signing.

Gooden may be younger, but hopefully everyone here remembers what happens when the ball goes into him on the post...
…the ball never comes back out. Not the type of player we need and traded for a reason.
Let's observe a moment of silence for CLee, Skip to my Lou, Batman, The Polish Hammer, and The Michael Jordan of Turkey... *cry*
Good point.

Well, that's how you improve, isn't it?
Two players for one better player? (And Anderson’s a bonus in the deal.)
Yeah, and we broke your damn shot clock too.
Yeah, Ryan has proven that quickly in the Summer League.

has Otis ever made a ‘splashy " move? I dont think its gonna happen,he’s probably thinking bottom of the barrel.
He doesn't need to make a splashy move.

Magic need to pay the man his MLE, even if its felt as overpaying to them and others, its too good of a fit. Think overpaying Lewis would’ve led to a Finals appearance? This would be what puts it over the hump completely. Can bang and play PF/C well still, and rebound with the best of the league still, doesnt need to play heavy minutes until matchups demand it like LA, BOS and keeping into rhythmn. PLEASE SIGN DICE FOR MLE MAGIC!!!!!!!!
Sometimes, it pays to overpay.
