2pts, 5rebs and benched in the second half.
He might end up taking the player option when it's all said and done tbh![]()
Yeah,seems like it..Almost feels like he is rooting for him to fail..

Dude has a Playoff "Game".
Lmfao no he doesn't. At all.
The starters problems have nothing to do with dedmon. Really, watch how many times he's open on a PnR and doesn't get passed to. The spacing is fine, they just are letting him be open and not focusing on him on defense so the spacing doesn't matter.
This is true! They was throwing it up for him at one point. Then they stopped. So it makes him look less effective.
I think Deadman can be a nouveau riche man's Deandre Jordan, but it would require a concerted effort to get him involved through oops, for which the Spurs lack the inclination and commitment. How many does Deandre get per game? Deadman should get about the same number, but he's not even close.
I'm not saying oops need to be central to our offense, but in general we need to do things to keep him involved. Defenses are simply ignoring him all the time and its basically a 4 on 5 if they do that and we don't respond. The guy can't create his own offense. That's not his role so no big deal
Poop likes to have five black starters it seems. First, he throws Manu to the bench during his prime, and now he benches MVPau, even though he's much better than Deadman. And let's not forget how he threw Rasho into the trash in favor of A-Q, or how he trashed Beno for Van Exel.
Poop is a liberal who uses affirmative action at the expense of the team. If Poop had his way, there wouldn't be a cracka on this team.
Had the least amount of minutes out of every Spur that played today. Played well but just couldn't stop fouling
1 point, 0 rebounds, -14 from the Deadman
Gasol<3 ....
Didn't even play bad. Just didn't do anything. You can't blame a guy for only having 1 point when he went 0-0
The problem is he does nothing offensively. Teams leave him alone and it messes with our spacing because we don't pass it to him anyway (and if we did he'd probably pass it back anyway).
It doesn't work unless we're more willing to pass and he's more agressive. If that doesn't change we should move Lee to start (which is something I've wanted and argued more than Dedmon starting)
i can't believe some on here want to pay Dewayne 10 mill a year, while hoping Pau doesn't reup and we let Lee go....
This.....
Spurs need to find a way Lee comes back and hope Gasol opts in
Pau's an elite bench player. Hope he opts in.
He's needed to just hold serve with the starters, since Gasol coming off the bench is a big weapon.
Yeah, it is more about Pau than him at this point, though what a disgusting regression after a career month in February for Dedemon..He's been Parker bad in March..
Parker and Dedmon's ratings are related tbh. Dedmon isn't much of an offensive player but can be effective with a decent guard feeding him on the PnR. Meanwhile Dedmon has been a big part of the defense improving to an elite level. Obviously it works with Gasol's monster play off the bench but it could be even better if Parker regains form and gets Dedmon more involved as an offensive threat.
Didn't Parker make a comment to Dedmon after the game against Philly (in Philadelphia) where he had a 15 and 17 game, telling Dewayne something like - what are you doing? we're trying to re-sign you. I wonder what his stats are like since then?
You have a good point. He's dependent on good guard play to get looks and that has been missing from the starting lineup.
Here are the realistic options....
Re-sign
Dewayne Dedmon (Spurs, 7'0, 245lbs)
17.3MP, 5.2pts, 6.4reb, 0.8blk, 16.2PER, .195 WS/48, 98DRtg
Sign
Javale McGee (Warriors, 7'0, 270lbs)
9.3MP, 5.8pts, 3.0reb, 0.8blk, 23.9PER, .209 WS/48, 101DRtg
Nene (Rockets, 6'11, 250lbs)
17.8MP, 8.9pts, 4.2reb, 0.6blk, 18.7PER, .167 WS/48, 107DRtg
Taj Gibson (Thunder, 6'9, 220lbs)
26.0MP, 11.0pts, 6.4reb, 0.8blk, 15.1PER, .094 WS/48, 109DRtg
Willie Reed (Heat, 6'10, 220lbs)
14.6MP, 5.2pts, 4.6reb, 0.7blk, 17.0PER, .167 WS/48, 105DRtg
Trade For
Richaun Holmes (Sixers, 6'10, 245lbs)
19.8MP, 9.4pts, 5.2reb, 0.9blk, 19.0PER, .159 WS/48, 107DRtg
Shawn Long (Sixers, 6'9, 255lbs)
12.5MP, 8.2pts, 4.1reb, 0.5blk, 25.3PER, .224 WS/48, 106DRtg
Brandan Wright (Grizzlies, 6'10, 210lbs)
15.1MP, 7.0pts, 2.8reb, 0.6blk, 19.9PER, .190 WS/48, 108DRtg
I believe each one of those players would get better defensively playing for the Spurs, tbh..
2015 Dedmon's DRtg - 104
2016 Dedmon's DRtg - 104
2017 Dedmon's DRtg - 98
2015 Dedmon's DBPM - 0.3
2016 Dedmon's DBPM - 1.3
2017 Dedmon's DBPM - 3.2
If I had to pick... I'd trade for Richaun Holmes. The Sixers gave up Nerlens Noel for Justin Anderson and a second round pick. Holmes would be rather cheap.
Hope Pop pulls the plug on this failed experiment early in the first round.....
Deadman is trash.
