Shams: Dedmon Signs 2-yr/$14M Deal with ATL

[loveforthegame]

Good for him.

[rastaspur]

He's throwing me off. I associate the del negro pic exclusively with you. I keep thinking it's you initially.

Are you saying all del negros look the same?

[Dverde]

I actually like his skill set, but understand not matching. Not hate in getting paid at this point in life.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Three beta bigs left for the Spurs

[Keepin' it real]

ATL now Eastern Conference favorites.

[Truth4sale$]

Too bad, the Spurs are really limited in the interior for defense and rebounding. He performed his role well and added some toughness, that role has yet to be replaced. Probably best option for him, virtually same playbook. He should do well. Good luck to him.

[SAGirl]

Glad for him. Good deal for hi I wish him the best. Glad he went to an east team too.

Not that expensive contract, Spurs could have matched it, I guess they just didn't want him anymore.

One year too. Yes I think Spurs decided to move on

[SAGirl]

They could not have matched it.

Needed cap for him?

[Walter Donovan]

MASSIVE mistake by the Spurs. They will all surely come to regret this decision!!!!

horrible!!!!!

[SAGirl]

Not after they gave Gay his deal. Plus, we don't know if the Spurs offered the same or more money.

What about Pau,s deal?

[SAGirl]

He was goner as soon as he opted out..Don't think even SA had plans to retain him..he even mentioned it was "about the money", and i don't think he got IT here, hence the player option for year 2..It didn't make sense to comeback to Pop's doghouse if he was going to give it another shot in 2018 FA..

Glad he didn't pull a Zaza and took a super small deal to play with GSW. He wanted to get paid. Got to respect that.

[Texas_Ranger]

oh no, we lost a guy that was useless in the playoffs...

[Play Boban]

This is awesome. I am so glad to be rid of this scrub!

[look_at_g_shred]

i liked him tbh

I knew u were

[Chris]

Cmon Bud, take Manu too please!

[tmtcsc]

Good to see, tbh, he earned a nice raise..he'll get a good amount of minutes on a Hawks team that will be near the bottom of the East and won't have to compete with old players that the coach can't resist playing..

His absence won't affect the Spurs, though..he wasn't even playing anymore by the end of the season..

How did he earn a raise? He didn't get much play in San Antonio. He had a nice stretch when he was in the starting lineup but in the end he was benched. Sometimes, players are just what they are. -- Like Dejounte Murray

[RD2191]

I knew u were

[Spurs9]

Thats what happens with the 2 year contract with a player option on the 2nd year.

[Hoops Czar]

oh no, we lost a guy that was useless in the playoffs...

And they replaced him with the "Paddy Mills" of centers.

[tmtcsc]

MASSIVE mistake by the Spurs. They will all surely come to regret this decision!!!!

horrible!!!!!

[Capt Bringdown]

He'd reached his ceiling under Pop's coaching. Maybe he'll get better somewhere else.
I guess we won't be seeing many rebounds or block shots next year, should be...fun.
