Get this god damn bum off the team
Play Bertrans over this worthless scrub tbh. He's the worst player on the team by far and he's in the starting lineup. SMH.
Dedmon didn't do anything wrong, tbh, he's had a great season, all things considered(top 3 rim protector in the NBA)..impossible to play basketball when you get 8 minutes per game, it's pretty sad..
Just another name to add to the long list of inexperienced players that aren't permitted to play through mistakes and get benched in favor of washed-up, experienced vets during the Pop regime(long list, from early Splitter to last year's Boban)..
McGee is much better.Quote:

Gasol and Randolph were playing hard tonight, and the Spurs really needed Dedmon's size in the middle.
So, yeah, he did something wrong. When you already have one early foul, you just have to get up the floor in that situation. Him being stupid fucked up the rotations for the rest of the night. Well... Pop did his share. But Dedmon played his own part in it.
Pau instead of dedmon. :lmao
Predictably, the best front office in the NBA is high on Dedmon(as they were last off-season, too, but he stupidly chose the Spurs:lol ), tbh..he'll give them a significant defensive upgrade on a reasonable deal, and unlike Pop, Kerr doesn't give a shit about the personalities of his players, as long as they can play(Draymond, Matt Barnes, etc)..
They don't need Zaza anymore..he did his job by taking out their biggest threat(which was the reason they brought him in), but now he has a target on his back..I miss when the Spurs had the best front office, tbh..
B-b-b-but ST says he's Elson 2.0! :cryQuote:

Yuck...Dedmon on the Warriors will not be fun
Guy sucks :lol Also says a lot of about his FA value when the Warriors who have their franchise players to re-sign, think they can afford this scrub
Wonder if Demond will do a Sim and sign a 2 year deal and get big $
Doesn't seem like the best time for this shtick when discussing a player that both FOs went after and only one of them was able to convince to come tbh.Quote:

On offense once they started looking for the oop and cutting him off he was a black hole outside of the occasional putback. He could not put the ball on the floor, pass , or shoot and ended up a huge liability on offense and limited on defense.
Meanwhile the mensas on this board wonder where the high low game went.
Lol. He is Elson 2.0. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be an upgrade over Zaza for them. And he's not staying in SA either way so no point in crying about it tbh. I'm just just hoping someone like Brooklyn or Sacramento offers him 15 million a seasonQuote:

Anyone will look in GS surrounded by the talent they have though. Any athletic shot blocking C is going to be valuable to them, but they are at their best running a small lineup anyway
