After being approached by 18 teams with contract offers, Antonio McDyess will sign with the Detroit Pistons on Dec. 3rd. He will then become a free agent after the 2008-2009 season.

Detroit can only offer McDyess their bi-annual $1.9 salary cap extension, which is less than half of what other teams could have offered through their mid-level exception.

“It was a very difficult decision for him. He was weighing good offers financially, along with other variables he thought were important,” agent Andy Miller told ESPN.com. “But going into the year he had a team goal set, and to not finish up with it, he didn’t want to do that. He wants to finish the year, finish what he started in Detroit, then reevaluate after the season is over.”
