Larry Brown Wants to Get His Hands on Antonio McDyess
Following the AI/Billups trade, Antonio McDyess refused to re-don a Nugget uniform, and ever since, it seems that virtually every team in the L has made some type of attempt to acquire his services.
So far, none have succeeded, and the prevailing wisdom is that he’ll eventually re-sign with the Pistons (even though the Cavs are reportedly offering the most amount of money).
Before that happens, though, Larry Brown and the Bobcats would like to be heard, and McDyess is apparently willing to listen to their sales pitch.
From the Charlotte Observer:
“He would be perfect for this team,” Brown said. “He’s an underrated defender, he can make a shot and he is the best teammate.”
“He’s a really sensitive kid,” Brown said, “so I’m a little nervous about joining the ranks of people telling him what to do.”
Larry Brown will not only teach you how to play “the right way”, but he’ll also look out for your emotional needs. What’s not to love?
The reality is that Brown and McDyess were very close in Detroit, to the point where some jokingly referred to Antonio as Larry’s “second son”. In other words, don’t rule this out.

McDyess has a better shot of getting to the Finals in Detroit. The Pistons as presently constructed can beat both Cleveland and Boston in a series. They could not before.
I’ve watched Okafor play. He’s still mechanical on the block and he thinks to much.
a National Champion and Rookie of the Year IS too much. I have seen Emeka play more than all of you combined, and when he is not getting fouled, he is dunking the ball or putting up all sorts of post moves. He is a beast when he gets plays run through him, like he did at UCONN and like he did in his rookie season as a Bobcat. If Larry Brown gives him 4-5 more touches a night, he will be a FORCE with a good power forward to compliment him (NOT SEAN MAY)
