BREAKING: Kings center Dewayne Dedmon wants a trade out of Sacramento!

[Yogatti]

Kings center Dewayne Dedmon wants a trade out of Sacramento and multiple teams are making offers to the franchise in anticipation of a deal prior to the February trade deadline, league sources say. Dedmon signed a three-year, $41 million contract with the Kings in free agency, but coach Luke Walton is believed to have soured on the 30-year-old and the sides believe their union can’t be salvaged. Dedmon has received a DNP-CD in eight of the past 10 games. The seven-year veteran has established himself as a starting caliber center, coming off a season in Atlanta in which he averaged 10.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks while shooting 38.2 percent from 3-point range on 3.4 attempts per game.

Let's get him back to the Spurs

[ZeusWillJudge]

The Kings gave Dedmon 3/$41M because he was a starter playing 25 minutes a game and shooting .382 from 3P. This year he's shooting .229 from 3P, and getting 13.6 mpg. I honestly haven't been following Dedmon or the Kings. Maybe they're misusing him the same way Pop misuses players here in SA. But taking on 2 additional years at $13.3M each just prolongs the salary cap jail this team is in.

If it would get rid of Beli, and it was just a one year contract, I would take him in a heartbeat - even though Pop would probably not use him. But since salaries have to be matched, it would probably mean that Pop would ship out Lonnie (plus whatever else it took to balance).

I'm not slamming the OP's enthusiasm, or even slamming Dedmon.

After watching Pop freeze LW out last night, I don't have any confidence in this team's ability to make personnel decisions anymore. The only move I'm interested in is getting a new coach.

This isn't Spurs news

This isn't Spurs news

Its former Spurs news, which is useless

[exstatic]

Dead man is nothing more than a taller version of JSimms. He’s a player that the Spurs jump started who ultimately face planted when asked to do more than be a role player.

Sacto strikes again. They let W C-S go to sign this clown.

We need an athletic 3 and D. Other than that, stop posting new threads

[Chinook]

The Spurs could do worse than a trade with the Kings involving LMA and Forbes for Ariza and Dedmon as the contracts. You'd want there to be more incentive coming back for SA to get rid of their best player, but the deal saves the team some money over the next two seasons with both Ariza and Dedmon having mostly non-guaranteed final years of their deals.

Murray, Walker, DeRozan, Ariza, Poeltl
Mills, White, Carroll (Beli), Gay, Dedmon

Those aren't bad units, but I'd rather trade DeRozan than Aldridge, and if Aldridge stays, Dedmon makes no sense.

You are bashing Pop because you have an agenda to do so, we all can see it. Move on please.

Good observation, but how about this instead.

Murray, Bogdan, DeRosan, Arisa, Poeltl
Mills, White, Lonnie, Gay, Dedmon

At this point, why not?

This is standard practice now. Players sign with teams that offer them the most money then cry foul and hold them hostage and demand trades. People say “free player X!!” Like those guys didn’t choose in FREE AGENCY to sign there.

Teams need to be a lot more careful in evaluating which players they sign and their real intentions.

[Dex]

That didn't take long.

Let that piece of crap's career rot in New York tbh.

[DAF86]

At this point, why not?

Because the Knicks will never deal with us.

I would also do Mills/Beli/Poeltl/Carroll for Dedmon/Ariza

Free up time for young guards, you lose Jakob, but he’s replaceable (especially with Dedmon being able to shoot and play next to LMA just a well as Poeltl can).

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Meh. player. Won't make any difference to the Spurs.

Meh, Knicks would be better off getting something in return of Morris anyway.

Sure, but it’s about the state of the league. Stars down to scrubs do this. The point is not whether some teams due to sucking should look to max chances in the draft it’s more about how players pull this crap.

[FutureMan]

I’d settle for:

SAC: DeRozan, Carroll
SAS: Barnes, Dedmon, SAC 2020 1st

[Dverde]

At this point, why not?

The Knicks hate The Spurs FO. They wouldn’t trade him there.

[Realdeal1]

knicks and pacers would never trade with the spurs

[Dex]

I’d settle for:

SAC: DeRozan, Carroll
SAS: Barnes, Dedmon, SAC 2020 1st

The problem is, SAC won't settle for that.

[sasaint]

I’d settle for:

SAC: DeRozan, Carroll

Settle? That’s committing rape.
