In your post you first argued he would get showcased for a bigger deal with GS. When I say that about SA you now say it's because SA offered him 1M more. OK.
It was you going back and forth with meYup! No mention of money being a reason why and in fact you even argued against the same thing I just said (no one is choosing 1M over, and I quote, "that team will showcase his talents and allow him to get a big contract next year"
Classic Nathan.
No mention of money, but now that my logic held up, you are trying to shift your argument. You could not comprehend how anyone would choose SA over GS and it had NOTHING to do with 1M then TBH IMVHO..

1.xmil is significant when you are making 3mil per year. Especially when I said both teams will showcase his talents well. So given that both teams will showcase him well it would be unnecessary to take a lesser contract that is quite significant percentage wise.It was you going back and forth with me

Is his athleticism above-average?
Good pick up! Dude has incentive to play hard so he can opt out next summer for bigger pay day. I suppose that cuts both ways if he gets a big pay day
LMA, Gasol, Dedmon, LJC, Mulitinov starts to look like a respectable big man line up.
Mengke Bateer. Provides what they need the most. Rebounding and Rim protecting
If some smart up and coming intern tells Jerry West about him, he/she will go places ASAP
yeah, seems that way, dedmon would pair better with gasol or aldridge. but it is still early to tell, Pau and Lamarcus should be able to build a good 2 man game.
spurs come playoff time will of course have a staggered roster with 2 of the 3 (pau, kawhi, lamarcus) always on the court at the same time.
in regular season, will be interesting to see what the effective all 2nd team would be:
mills, ginobili, bertans, anderson, dedmon (?) doesn't seem as capable as mills, ginobili, anderson, diaw, west/marjanovic
ljc, murray seem like Austin material.
simmons, forbes sound good enough to be backups to mills and ginobili.
Spurs likely to get 2nd seed, despite all the changes.
I want to get excited about this guy but I just feel pop is going have him riding the bench like boban.
In favor of whom?
Dedmon is definitely the kind of the athletic hustle big Spurs have been missing since Baynes left and he is a legit 7'0 as well
That's not really an option. He could be the first big off the bench.
That is not what you said at all. You very clearly asked why anyone would choose SA over GS. You said he would get to showcase himself in GS much more than SA.
You did say essentially that SA wouldn't be a bad choice either, but you were pretty clear in your distinction about choosing GS over SA.
It's all good and damn you for bringing out the old argumentative DPG
That is what I was saying yesterday (and today) to Nathan. There are no other options. Pau/LMA aren't playing 40MPG ( , probably only 35MPG). West, Tim, Boban, Boris are gone - they have to play.
honestly, I don't think Pop has the patience to coach all these neophytes!
Let's see... murray, bertans, LJC, dedmon, forbes
not counting anderson and simmons. 7 players.
sheesh!!!
Ya buddy. He's a very solid athlete. He's not DeAndre Jordan, but he's a very good athlete capable of put back dunks, lob dunks and finishing close to the rim with dunks. He can block shots.
I'm really not trying to build him up like some all-star, he's not. He has many limitations especially offensively. It's just a good skill set the Spurs needed.
Impressed with how quickly he gets down the court. Seems super fast for a 7 footer.
That will be the interesting part. Not just the youth but new to the team. Pau is older, but still new. It takes time to learn the system.
true... he can definitely run... can't say the same about pau or lamarcus.
I would agree. But Pop played Jeff Ayers. Im sure he'll play this guy. Plus he more than likely won't have a choice.
Uh, it's about 1.8 million difference guys, give or take, at least by my reading of the vet minimum by year and the room exception
Plus playing time and role opened up in a big way when Boban signed his sheet and the Spurs couldn't match. Why pretend otherwise?
I wouldn't worry, I see Bertans as the new Hill-Splitter-Boban
Nice, thanks. Looks like a good pickup. For a while, every time I saw someone mention Dedmon here, I thought they were misspelling Marcus Denmon, lol.
Wonder if Borrego was a factor in him choosing San Antonio.
