Let's hope he gets some quality minutes beside LMA or Gasol....before he's gone.

I like Dedmon Walking (love the nickname) so much better than Boban for the Spurs. Boban is fan fun, but you can't use him more than 15-20 minutes per in today's game. Walking is clearly more athletic, and his long arms hide his strength. He has the kind of highlights in this video just about every game and SA is a great place for him to pick up some polish to his handles and court IQ.
He gets to learn from guys like Aldridge and Gasol, too. He also may have a chance to share the court with Duncan, even if he does retire, and much of what these vets have to teach is useless to a player with Boban's frame and coordination. Walking can absorb a lot.
This salary (2/$6) is going to look bonkers when he comes up for a new contract. Great pick-up.

The videos of him look good. Once he learns to block shots AND control them, he's going to be even better. The Spurs need defense, rebounding and easy buckets. Dedmon Walking can provide that.
change your pp
Sounds like something heard on a Jamaican Deathrow.
No. I like my pp just the way it is. My pp is legend and the subject of many compliments. Feel free to ask around. Many people send me private messages regarding my pp, wanting to see more.

He needs to go talk Dwyane Wade and settle the phonics once and for all
Saw a couple highlights.
What's wrong with him?
Why were we able to get him?
fouls alot.but his 32 inch vertcal aint bad
The fouls are a big concern. They are usually an indication of laziness, lack of quickness or low BBIQ.
Can't be laziness since he supposedly has a pretty good motor.
Can't be quickness since he seems to be like a guy on pogo sticks.
Low BBIQ, likely since he didn't play at all in high school. We can't expect to see the savvy that Duncan had.
Hopefully Tim will be around the team, whether as a player or otherwise. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Dedmon's IQ improves a bunch from being around Tim, Pau and LMA.

Plumlee's contract, how big of an overpay?
Kevin Pelton (12:19 PM)
He's paid as a good backup or low-end starting center, which is about what he's been in the league. The problem is the supply of those players in the NBA right now greatly exceeds the demand for them. There are probably 50-60 players who could be plausibly said to be that good or better, and while some of them got a lot more than Plumlee (Timofey Mozgov, for example), some of them got the room exception (DeWayne Dedmon) or even near minimum salary (Willie Reed).
Checking in! Looking forward to watching Dedmon play. Hope he's working on his game this summer too.
Duncan will not be a coach. If anything a GM of some sort that stays home but not a coach.
Remember when Boylen was brought in to be the big man specialist coach.
Is Thomas Robinson still available??
Well named thread lol!
We may have a sleeper in Dewayne. Looks like he only started played organized ball a few years ago.

Don't know if I should be excited to see Dedmon or worried about Pau.
He looks like Aaron Brooks for some reason. lol
I 2nd that notion.
