I wanted to be 1st to post it tbh

[dabom]

Au revoir.

[superbigtime]

Sucks

[TheGreatYacht]

back to being irrelevant.

[tonight...you]

Who cares? A guy who could D, but generally fouled instead and had no idea what to do on offense to make a play go without difficulty.

Seriously, fuck ya'll simpletons who can't get that shit.

Foul machine. FOUL MACHINE. A FOUL MACHINE WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO ON O.

[Mr. Body]

Just didn't have a good feel for the game.

[BatManu20]

back to being irrelevant.

Pretty much tbh.

[Rocalcio]

Not that expensive contract, Spurs could have matched it, I guess they just didn't want him anymore.

[benefactor]

Not bad Dedmon...enjoy the payday.

[Chinook]

Not that expensive contract, Spurs could have matched it, I guess they just didn't want him anymore.

They could not have matched it.

[Dex]

There he goes. Pau back to SA confirmed.

In other news, water still wet. Of course Pau is coming back.

[Rocalcio]

They could not have matched it.
I heard that up to 10M a year it would have been possible, no ?

[BatManu20]

In other news, water still wet. Of course Pau is coming back.

Yea just stating the obvious tbh.

[Chinook]

I heard that up to 10M a year it would have been possible, no ?

Not after they gave Gay his deal. Plus, we don't know if the Spurs offered the same or more money.

[timtonymanu]

The dude was still tough as limited as he is.

Ugh Gasoftdridge for another year. Fucking gross

[Rito3d30]

Never like Dedmon anyway

[Dex]

Also, Dedmon was overrated. No offense other than darting for lobs, and he wasn't even that strong of a roller.

He had his chance in the starting lineup and regressed, and became pretty much unplayable. Do not want, especially for that price tag.

[bigfan]

Good luck to him, wish we could have kept him but oh well.

[spursistan]

He was goner as soon as he opted out..Don't think even SA had plans to retain him..he even mentioned it was "about the money", and i don't think he got IT here, hence the player option for year 2..It didn't make sense to comeback to Pop's doghouse if he was going to give it another shot in 2018 FA..

[Mr. Body]

Too bad the Warriors couldn't have signed him and destroy their cap future even more.

[spurraider21]

i liked him tbh

[daslicer]

This loss will hurt. He wasn't great but he was very effective on the defensive end despite being foul prone. Spurs currently don't have a big with his athletic ability and rim protecting ability on the roster.

[Rocalcio]

Not after they gave Gay his deal. Plus, we don't know if the Spurs offered the same or more money.

Right. Still, I always thought he would leave for much more than that.

[RD2191]

Right. Still, I always thought he would leave for much more than that.

This guy..

[HarlemHeat37]

Good to see, tbh, he earned a nice raise..he'll get a good amount of minutes on a Hawks team that will be near the bottom of the East and won't have to compete with old players that the coach can't resist playing..

His absence won't affect the Spurs, though..he wasn't even playing anymore by the end of the season..

[tonight...you]

8 o'clock... I'm out. My beautiful wife is home.

[bklynspursfan]

Hawks got rid of Dwight and signed a much cheaper poor man's Dwight.

[BatManu20]

He was an odd fit from the get-to. Never a Spurs-type player. It was nice finally having a big who could catch lobs tbh, but that was all he was good for. He regressed as the season went on and Pop had seen enough. He was done after that. Glad he got a nice payday though. He's a good dude from everything I've seen.

[spursistan]

The race shtick aside, I honestly think Pop didn't like his mien for some reason..

[Rocalcio]

This guy..


Get used to it, dickhead.

[HarlemHeat37]

Get used to it, dickhead.

:lol

[BatManu20]

This guy..


Get used to it, dickhead.

Fukin imposter, fuck you.

[RD2191]

:pctossHahaha real funny cocksuckers

[Vic Petro]

Dedmom is just a guy.

[RD2191]

Next asshole who acknowledges that imposter can go fuck themselves.

[Rocalcio]

Fukin imposter, fuck you.


You want to fuck me with your dickhead ? :princess

[Rocalcio]

:pctossHahaha real funny cocksuckers

I'm actually enjoying that it pisses you off, please continue.

[Rocalcio]

Next asshole who acknowledges that imposter can go fuck themselves.

:lol

You're the imposter.

[kaji157]

I don't think he sucked. A year in Atlanta may do him well. He really needs more basketball under his belt, he may improve there.

[Uriel]

Bring back Splitter.

[RD2191]

I'm actually enjoying that it pisses you off, please continue.


:lol

You're the imposter.

:pctoss

[SPURt]

Don't let the door hit you where Pop was putting his fingers and penis.

[Spur|n|Austin]

He got paid ... overpaid.

[dabom]

Right. Still, I always thought he would leave for much more than that.


This guy..

Why you quoting yourse....

[Rocalcio]

Why you quoting yourse....

:lol

[NickiRasgo]

No more lobs. :depressed

[loveforthegame]

Good for him.

[rastaspur]

:pctoss

He's throwing me off. I associate the del negro pic exclusively with you. I keep thinking it's you initially. :lol

[RD2191]

He's throwing me off. I associate the del negro pic exclusively with you. I keep thinking it's you initially. :lol

Are you saying all del negros look the same?

[Dverde]

I actually like his skill set, but understand not matching. Not hate in getting paid at this point in life.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Three beta bigs left for the Spurs :td :pctoss

[Keepin' it real]

ATL now Eastern Conference favorites.

[Truth4sale$]

Too bad, the Spurs are really limited in the interior for defense and rebounding. He performed his role well and added some toughness, that role has yet to be replaced. Probably best option for him, virtually same playbook. He should do well. Good luck to him.

[SAGirl]

Glad for him. Good deal for hi I wish him the best. Glad he went to an east team too.

[rastaspur]

Are you saying all del negros look the same?

:lol

[SAGirl]

One year too. Yes I think Spurs decided to move on

[SAGirl]

They could not have matched it.
Needed cap for him?

[Walter Donovan]

MASSIVE mistake by the Spurs. They will all surely come to regret this decision!!!!

horrible!!!!!

[SAGirl]

Not after they gave Gay his deal. Plus, we don't know if the Spurs offered the same or more money.
What about Pau,s deal?

[SAGirl]

Glad he didn't pull a Zaza and took a super small deal to play with GSW. He wanted to get paid. Got to respect that.

[Texas_Ranger]

oh no, we lost a guy that was useless in the playoffs...

[Dverde]

I actually like his skill set, but understand not matching.

[Play Boban]

This is awesome. I am so glad to be rid of this scrub!

[look_at_g_shred]

i liked him tbh
I knew u were queer

[Chris]

Cmon Bud, take Manu too please!

How did he earn a raise? He didn't get much play in San Antonio. He had a nice stretch when he was in the starting lineup but in the end he was benched. Sometimes, players are just what they are. -- Like Dejounte Murray

[RD2191]

I knew u were queer

:lmao

[Spurs9]

Thats what happens with the 2 year contract with a player option on the 2nd year.

[Hoops Czar]

oh no, we lost a guy that was useless in the playoffs...

And they replaced him with the "Paddy Mills" of centers.

[tmtcsc]

MASSIVE mistake by the Spurs. They will all surely come to regret this decision!!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

He'd reached his ceiling under Pop's coaching. Maybe he'll get better somewhere else.
I guess we won't be seeing many rebounds or block shots next year, should be...fun.

[MultiTroll]

Hopefully Pop feels less threatened now.

Spurs can now possibly add yet another 30+ or better yet 35+ declining and/or never had athleticism F or Center.

[Biggems]

Have fun in Shitlanta, Deadman.

[SilverSpur]

I will miss the ally oops, but hopefully Joffrey can fill that roll.

[dbestpro]

oh no, we lost a guy that was useless in the playoffs...

Hard to be useful when your not in the game.

[Ditty]

He was really good for a stretch during the season after Gasol got hurt. Then he lost his rhythm.

Sucks that it didn't work out. His defense was pretty good when he would not foul, which was improving.

You are not going to be very good in league, if you can't knock down a ten foot jumper occasionally. Unless you are skilled around the basket, which he is not.

I am going to miss your's and Lee's antics on the sideline, but go get your money in the ATL!

[tbdog]

Tbh, Bogut or Splitter will fill the hole. We are going small. LMA and gasol are our centers.

[marinoman]

He was a mobile big but his screens sucked

[therealtruth]

There's going to be a lot less alley-oops next season.

[Mal]

Plenty of guys with his skill set. Won't be missed

[Spurtacular]

DD was a poor man's Antonio McDyess.

[024]

Incoming Splitter signing?

[TheGreatYacht]

You'll know the Spurs are tanking if they bring in Shitter.

[ceperez]

He was a mobile big but his screens sucked

This is one player that I actually have no idea what he did wrong. But it could just be that he wanted more money.

I thought he played about the same level as Simmons in the regular season.

[szkorhetz]

You'll know the Spurs are tanking if they bring in Shitter.
Splitter would complement all our current bigs.
Would be a nice fit with all of LMA, JL and Gay too. I am predicting the reunion since The GSW series.

[duncan2k5]

Big loss...the defense was much better with him, despite the fouls...the stretch when he was starting was our best basketball...and he singlehandedly linked mark gasol who was DOMINATING us up to that point...I dont blame him for leaving... Pop had a clear bias when he wouldn't get on gasoline for his MANY....MAAAAANY defensive lapses, but would bench dedmon got several games if he made one

[TheGreatYacht]

Splitter would complement all our current bigs.
Would be a nice fit with all of LMA, JL and Gay too. I am predicting the reunion since The GSW series.
I'll pass on seeing Shitter become unplayable in the playoffs. He was only useful against ZBo, Dirk, and LMA. 2 of those are on lottery teams and the other would be his teammate. No thanks.

That block Lebron had on him literally ended his manhood. He got benched in 2014 when it got tough, and then let Griffin average a triple double on him. He's probably worn more than 100 suits during game days since he left us.

Again. Pass.

U mean...like Deandre Jordan?

[Rocalcio]

He's throwing me off. I associate the del negro pic exclusively with you. I keep thinking it's you initially. :lol

That's why I find it funny. At least you'll believe he's able not to write bad words in every single message he's posting. He should thank me actually...

[Chinook]

What about Pau,s deal?

Would have little to do with it as far as cap goes. As far as the tax goes, if Simmons comes back, they have to stretch Pau's deal over multiple years. If Simmons goes elsewhere, they can give him his one-year back.

[Chinook]

Needed cap for him?

Cap or MLE.

[look_at_g_shred]

I will miss the ally oops, but hopefully Joffrey can fill that roll.

lol

But how do they sign him. He was only here one season... pardon my asking, this stuff is confusing. I saw briefly in SAexpress that he wants a multiyear deal, retire a Spur...

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

With the non-Bird exception.

It's for up to 120% of his previous salary and can be up to 4 years , but hopefully it'll be for only one year fully guaranteed.

[couchman]

Happy for him. I don't think it is a big loss for the Spurs, but we do need to find some serviceable bigs.

[poop]

This loss will hurt. He wasn't great but he was very effective on the defensive end despite being foul prone. Spurs currently don't have a big with his athletic ability and rim protecting ability on the roster.

This. I dont understand all the hate. An athletic legit 7 footer, with good hands, is hard to find. The spurs rarely have a peice like him and always sorely need one

[SAGirl]

Thanks for answering. Didn't know that.

[sasaint]

It was obvious that Deadman was gone in March/April when Pop pointedly buried him in the back of the dog pound.

[jyra]

Should be the Early Bird exception, Simmons has been on the team for two seasons already. So the starting salary can be around MLE money.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Right - about Simmons, but pretty sure the question was about Pau though.

[jyra]

Ah, my mistake.

[spurspokesman]

Pau and Aldridge is going to be a feast for other teams bigs smh. Soft as Q tip cotton

[south side spur]

If I'm late to the game I apologize but...why is Dedmon's cap space a part of the Spurs cap total according to spotrac? Is there a sign and trade in the works with Atlanta?

[TimDunkem]

Pau and Aldridge is going to be a feast for other teams bigs smh. Soft as Q tip cotton
A disgruntled Aldridge and Gasoft a year older. Ahh, can't wait for those layup lines.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

the Spurs never wanted to retain him - Pop had the opportunity to play him way more when the roster got decimated by injuries deep in the playoffs and "refused" (in my view) to give him more time. Done deal.

[Seventyniner]

Probably just haven't updated it yet. It doesn't affect the Spurs' signings because they're operating above the cap, but it could give a false impression that the Spurs have less room under the tax than they actually do.

[south side spur]

Probably just haven't updated it yet. It doesn't affect the Spurs' signings because they're operating above the cap, but it could give a false impression that the Spurs have less room under the tax than they actually do.

I'm almost positive that Dedmon's cap figure was originally labeled as a cap hold prior to his signing with Atlanta so that's why I was confused. It may just be a mistake I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

[MultiTroll]

Pretty sure that it's just a mistake.
It says that he was signed with cap space which shouldn't be possible for the Spurs. With non Bird rights they also can't sign him to a salary that high.

[Budkin]

I liked his hustle but his offensive game was awful.
