A half eaten bag of chips, maybe?
Let's be serious, no one will trade for his contract, unless we are taking on an even worse contract or throwing in assets to move him.
Dedmon will need to sit himself down at the end of the bench and stay quiet until next years trade deadline, when his contract will have some value as a ending contract.
Dedmon plays like crap when given court time and he's asking for a public trade. Ridiculous!

He has a net negative value contract.
His agent should tell him that, I sure hope the Kings do not give up whatever asset it takes to move him. Maybe we can exchange him for worse money?

Hilarious he's asking for a trade when he's the one who sucks. His contract is garbage. Kings aren't going to dump him and a pick just because he wants it lol.
I can't believe this guy isn't content to get paid to literally do nothing.

Some are undervaluing him. Other teams will look and think it's the teams fault. Same was said about George Hill. Now he's leading the league in 3pt percentage.

The Hawks need a big, right? Maybe they'd love to take him back for, oh...I don't know. A pick.

And it's official team falling apart.
You could see it in his face during the last game. He looked uninterested to say the least. He grabbed a rebound (good), then had it stripped (bad). The next play down they passed to him on an inbounds play after a made basket and he couldn't even catch it (seriously bad) Buddy had to grab it from going put of bounds.
He almost had 2 turnovers in less than 2 min. last night. He can't make constant mistakes and expect to play.

yeah agree feel our management needs to change and coaching philosophies need to change before we blame players

I will say that, as much as he has sucked, I do agree with others that he's better than he's looked with the Kings. It hasn't worked out here for whatever reason. But regardless of that, he's still played poorly enough that I'd consider his contract miserable. Even if he's a half-decent player, his contract negates his trade value.
I don't see any scenario where the Kings don't give up him AND a pick. Maybe, maybe they squeeze a 2nd rounder outta him.

I mentioned in another thread calling our buddies in Indiana. They’re stocked with SFs and guards. Very limited depth behind Turner. Oladipo is supposed to return in a month, so they may be looking for someone like Dedmon

The Shams article even says teams are preparing offers ahead of the trade deadline.

"Preparing offers"
"I'll give you cap space, you give me Dedmon and uh, hmm...how bout' a first?"

I don't want LaVine, he has horrific shooting nights almost as frequently as Buddy.

Actually yes he just blamed Boylen and coaching a month ago.

That's not how you spell defense.

I wish I knew. I think it just makes sense. Some teams that are serious playoff teams are going to want more shooting and maybe they want back-up help at center. Dedmond and Bogs are obvious candidates, but there may be others.
Yeah if you are looking for defense and less "me first"........Lavine would not be someone you'd target.

I don’t really blame the guy. He was brought in to be a starter and getting a bunch of Dnp-cd. Yeah he isn’t playing up to his contract but not much worse than buddy during these last 5 games. He doesn’t have many years of his prime left to be rotting at the end of the bench on a non playoff team. Just wish he did this more quietly or was given a chance to play his way back into some playing time.

He didn't hold a press conference.
But yeah, to be on a sub .500 team and sit the bench. That's tough to swallow. Give him credit that it's not just about collecting a paycheck.

Not sexy but think I have a workable trade.
Dedmon + Ariza out to Atlanta
For Parsons (expiring) 2024 second from Warriors.
We save the on the mini guarantee to Ariza next year (James gets some development now) get out of the Dedmon contract. Pick up a second a long time from now.
