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.
Darkskin Ayres.
Get this god damn bum off the team

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.
Agreed. With Deadman's 2pts today, he equaled his total points from Game 1 & 2
Warriors wanted Dedmon ahead of McGeehe would look great there with Kerr(who lets his inexperienced players play through mistakes) and the best system in the NBA(with Curry and Draymond creating)..
difference here is that Dedmon has been given opportunities for almost the whole season. He's had much more of a chance to make an impact than Splitter, Hill, or Boban.
But better Dedmon on the court than Lee.
Dedmon's second foul was just damned stupid. He and Gasol got tangled up, and he trailed an arm behind and whacked Gasol in the head. It was obvious, and there was zero doubt that it was on purpose. It's almost a rule among NBA coaches that when a guy picks up two fouls that quickly in the first quarter, he goes to the bench. 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 ed 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.![]()
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), tbh..he'll give them a significant defensive upgrade on a reasonable deal, and unlike Pop, Kerr doesn't give a 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!![]()
He's definitely an upgrade for them. For him, he gets paid, showcases himself on the best team in the league as the starting center, and gets a free ring. Good for him. He deserves it after the BS he had to go through last season.
Yuck...Dedmon on the Warriors will not be fun
Guy sucksAlso 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.
Dedmon is a good weakside rim protector and in transition because of his wheels but he was a mediocre post defender and fouled a lot on the perimeter.
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 season
GS would be better of keeping McGee and starting him if the money is the same, he is a better player than Dedmon imo. Dedmon had a decent year in SA but tbh he wasn't anything special, Spurfan is just enamored with him becauseomgz sick dunkz!
and they arent used to that. he was a fouling machine, constantly out of position, and couldnt rebound that well. he also had ty hands and bobbled a lot of passes/lobs.
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
