11 Players the Spurs signed past their prime

9.) Antonio McDyess

Antonio McDyess was well past his prime by the time he came to San Antonio. He signed with the Spurs ahead of the 2009-10 season at the ripe age of 35 and after a long road back from knee injuries that had derailed his career and sapped him of the explosiveness that had defined his younger years.

Still, McDyess's time in San Antonio wasn't a complete wash. He had adapted his game to fit what his body could do and gave the Spurs valuable minutes, even starting the majority of the games he suited up for in his first season with San Antonio. With his mid-range shooting agility and Tim Duncan holding down the low post, the Spurs were able to field a dangerous albeit slow-moving frontcourt.

It's a shame the Spurs couldn't have found a way to bring McDyess in when he was still exploding through defenders and hammering home dunks but even in his old age he still found ways to contribute.
