ATL is hot and Mc Dyess would be the perfect fit on the frontline in terms of vet playera and experience. I hope that ASG will recognize the added value that he could bring to the table...This kind of addition would give us serious depth and will make ATL a serious outsider...
What would it take though and can ATL realistically pull that move?

McDyess would be a great fit here.

But his agent has told the Nuggets he will ONLY play for the Pistons.
He refused to even meet with Denver management from what I've heard.

Denver I would undertsnad as he is still mad at the organization after they traded him in 02 I think...but who would be better off as a team in the 2 years to come. ATL or aging Detroit?

McDyess should go back to DET, it's certainly the easiest and logical move.
But if ATL has a chance to get him, they should try, and the moment can't be better than now with this good start. He would really help this team. I just hope that if he doesn't come here, he will return to DET, but not go to another team like S.A., CLE, or BOS or this kind of contender team.

i would love to sign McDyess to a sizable amount for only a two year deal, but if other teams are going to offer McDyess +3 years, then i would have concerns.

The team is hot now, but not to level of acceptance that vets see it as the best chance to get a ring. That's when you start getting veteran free agents knocking on your door. McDyess will likely return to Detroit where he's comfortable or to a team close to his home if that's his motivating factor.

BOS seems to me to be a natural for McDyess.
