He said he wants to beat the Warriors, not join up with them.
I can't see the Spurs letting him go. Finding big guys has been hard enough and he's been a surprise.

Risk is a team with tons of cap space throwing him a silly offer but there's much less of it to go around this summer.
Would be an interesting matchup vs Draymond - methinks there'd be some fireworks between them:ihitQuote:

His value isn't against Gaymond but on switches similar to Tristan Thompson shadowing Curry in the Finals.Quote:

my guess right now is Mavs..Cuban has knack for nabbing former spurs, and you would imagine he saw him up close dunking on their collective souls in the second great game Dedmon had in Dallas..I could see him offer 12-14 millions $ per..

It is shame that Pau will be back soon as he Aldridge/Dedmon combo was starting to gel defensively..
We need to throw money at him.Quote:

Dedmon is my 1st priority in the summer..I actually think he still got alot more development left in him than a guy like Simmons (hopefully he works out with Timmy) ..Spurs will be getting the prime years of an already low a mileage defensive center...Quote:
