Why did PATFO get rid of Dewayne Dedmon?

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Are you Dedmons mom? The dude freaking sucks.

[spursparker9]

Damn this scrub can shoot 3s?

[sananspursfan21]

He wasn’t incredibly impressive with the Spurs. He showed signs of potential and maybe with a couple of seasons under his belt with our guys, he could have done something. But he’s putting up very average stats on the HAWKS. The HAWKS are only giving him about 25 minutes a game. The HAWKS man.

[monty4329]

Because he was/is a subpar NBA player, maybe?

Dedmon should pay a commission to Pop on each contract he gets. Almost every scrub that shines on the Spurs gets a nice contract to go sucking somewhere else, showing his real value.

I think he was also like 27 when the Spurs signed him. Not a lot of time to develop that.

[8FOR!3]

Good in 2K, not so much in real life

[BillMc]

Dude couldn't catch a thing. Fumbled every pass into him. Ayres with a worse attitude.

[timtonymanu]

Jakob Poeltl is easily better than him

[cd021]

When the Spurs let players walk, it tends to be the right call. Spurs replaced Simmons with Gay (though, technically they may have been able to have both iirc) and let Dedmon walk.

Spurs haven't missed him and have a player in Poeltl who is much younger and better.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Because Pau is better...duh.


All those alley oop dunks from Mills’ passes were kind of lame, also. Who wants to see that?

[Play Boban]

Poeltl >>>>>> Deadman scrub

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Dedmon is better than pau and should've been signed for the cheaper instead of him back then. He just screamed after dunks which is a big no no for pop if your a young black player

[K...]

Both dedmon and pau suck, both whined about touches, but one is a hall of famer, the other is a scrub. They're both off the team, so o who cares? The better "why'd they leave" is jamychle green who is also a scrub but an NBA level scrub. Even jimmer is more NBA ready than dedmon. Retired David Lee is better than dedmon.

[EasyMoney]

Dedmon was prone to fouling and couldn't do anything outside of rolling to the rim and catching lobs.

And plus, it's not like it was their choice. he opted out, and simply walked away to get paid. PATFO aren't going to want to pay a man when they would rather give a 37 year old Pau $48m. Duh...
Also, I heard that he did not have any intention in staying either. Good riddance to him, haven't heard a single thing about him since he left. What's he up to now? What about JSimmons? Is he even getting minutes in Philly?

[kaji157]

To say the truth Deadman evolved a bit from what he was as a spur but not as much as some here "predicted" he would, while criticizing the FO for getting rid of him.
Nowadays we can see that he is indeed a better player but still has the same flaws, he's not a good box out player, not a good positional defender, not very high iq, misses rotations. He has evolved offensively more than defensively. And if he remained a spur, he would be now entering the first year of his loyalty contact and half the forum would be ripping him off for his flaws.

[MultiTroll]

Money needed to be spent on Spiritual Leader Patty and LVPau obviously.

Besides being under 30 and having some good athleticism, the final straw imo was when he stuck up for himself and told Patrick Beverly to go F himself after phaggot NBA ref let Beverly walk into the FT shooting circle and talk ish as Dedmon was about to shoot. Got ejected.

Not :cry:cry classy and the Pop way :cry:cry

His playing time was severely cut after that.
Pop sure showed him. :rolleyes

[Leetonidas]

Uh he was a free agent. He chose to leave. Spurs didn't "get rid" of him

[MultiTroll]

What about JSimmons? Is he even getting minutes in Philly?
doin about 15-20 usually for the playoff bound Sixers.
I look for them to go to the ECFs but we'll see.

He doesn't have the defensive prowess's of a Patty Mills or the energetic off the bench infusion of a Pau Gasol, but Simmons will somehow do ok in Philly I think.

[Leetonidas]

Lol Simmons just got a DNP the other night I happened to check. Highly doubt he is getting 20 mins a nite for Philly

[GusT15]

4 straight DNP-CD actually

[TimmyBuckets]

Cuz he's trash.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

He’s trolling gnsf. Simmons has been unplayable in Philly, sucking hard in garbage minutes scoring 3.7 PPG with a TS% of .470

[TDMVPDPOY]

this is who the spurms had when they made wcf post td era

dedmon
lee
west
simmons
anderson
kawhi
green
joseph

basically half the roster is no longer with the spurs in 2-3 year office moves

[MultiTroll]

Didn't say he was averaging 15-20. Rather he has played that many minutes in a lot of games.

He's had a 27, 4 separate 18s, a 16, a 15 all since he came over in mid Feb.
Haven't followed the last week or so. What the hell is up with 4 straight DNPs.
Does Brown follow CIA Pop type stuff?

And now he hasn't blocked a shot this entire season.

[exstatic]

He didn't get an invitation to the world for screaming ("I finally caught a lob!"?) after his dunks. He re-tweeted people who said he should be starting (essentially dissing the coaches who MAKE those decisions), and allegedly cussed Pop for taking him out of a game. That kind of shit won't ever fly in this organization.

[sananspursfan21]

I think he was also like 27 when the Spurs signed him. Not a lot of time to develop that.

Thats true. If he were 21-23, what he showed us could have been a nice preview. But what we saw is what we got and it was nothing to write home about

[Spurs Homer]

Dedmon?

What about Boban????

[sananspursfan21]

I get it. The front office makes some questionable moves. But more often than not, them letting a player walk is a thoroughly assessed decision and the best one. Guys like Dedmon and Simmons probably wanted more than they were worth. PATFO saw this and knew they didn’t need them that badly. The results of the continued careers generally speak for themselves.

[exstatic]

Dedmon?

What about Boban????

Detroit always had a hard on for our sloppy seconds bigs. In consecutive years, they overpaid Baynes, then Boban. I think they paid the Bobanator like 3 years/$21M.

[Arcadian]

I liked Dedmon, but now we have Poeltl so it's all good.

[phxspurfan]

Dedmon is a scrub

[K...]

We have play Blair, play boban, and spurtacular (play jimmer), notice there's no play dedmon?....... Case closed

[Leetonidas]

No it's because they realized that he sucks like most of us did

[slick'81]

We got poodle power yall!

[Millennial_Messiah]

Dedmon didn't shoot 3s when he was here

then again, we took McDyess

[Proxy]

you know good question, why also did we not keep James White too

[K...]

Did you mean James! White!

[DAF86]

Dedmon would have been a nice player to have for what he's being payed. Unfortunately, PATFO had already squandered 10 millions per year on Patty and 16 millions per year on Gasol.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Simmons is not a good NBA basketball player.

all those players on any other system doesnt work, but they excel on the spurs system and roster assembled

[Pavlov]

all those players on any other system doesnt work, but they excel on the spurs system and roster assembledNah, Simmons was good for one more season after leaving. Now he's retired.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Nah, Simmons was good for one more season after leaving. Now he's retired.


Almost like Pau. Except for that one good season.

[Fusternino]

Yeah Simmons basically had a career ending wrist injury.

[itzsoweezee]

Regardless of his limitations, he's clearly better and cheaper than Gasol.

[r0drig0lac]

And still better than the corpse formerly known as Pau Gasol.

You forgot 7 million dollar contract. Pop rather gave 16 million per year to Pau including another 5.1 million he has to pay him next year

[RC_Drunkford]

Dedmon didn't shoot 3s when he was here

Dedmon didn't shoot 3s or midranges here because Pop wouldn't let him. It was clear that he had a decent midrange jump shot, but Pop didn't let him use it

[Play Boban]

Didn't say he was averaging 15-20. Rather he has played that many minutes in a lot of games.

No, brown just played him enough to realize he sucked.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Dedmon didn't shoot 3s or midranges here because Pop wouldn't let him. It was clear that he had a decent midrange jump shot, but Pop didn't let him use it

He didn't shoot 3s in Orlando, either. It's a new thing for him, it appears.

Yes, instead they gave Gasol 48 million for 3 years, he was definitely worth that :drunk

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Simmons isn't that good of a player and Dedmon like many stated didn't show and or have the green light to shoot 3 pointers like he does else where. Not too many of the guys the Spurs let walk they regretted. Jamychal Green is the last guy I can think of and he isn't a world beater but a solid rotation guy at best

[r0drig0lac]

while I agree, solid guys with defensive mentality is the type of player who is currently lacking in this team

[DeRozan m8]

Those 3s are beautiful.

Always loved Dedmon tbh

[Gagnrath]

then again, we took McDyess

Antonio actually had a really good play-off series in 2010, he wasn't an allstar calibre player like he had be before blowing out his knees but he was a fairly solid starter who put in 20+ minutes per game fought for rebounds and was pretty cheap and reliable.
