He graduated from Marist College in May of 2022 and has written for TheKnicksWall.com and CenterFieldMarist.com in the past.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>CAMDEN, NJ — Dewayne Dedmon is back with the Philadelphia 76ers. But it doesn’t feel like a homecoming. The veteran center played 11 games with the Sixers in the 2013-14 season, spending just 20 days with the tanking squad.</p><p>Dedmon, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-add-more-depth-behind-joel-embiid-with-latest-signing-dewayne-dedmon">agreed to a deal</a> with the Sixers on Monday, recalls when the team <a href="https://twitter.com/BySamDiGiovanni/status/1625898793655848965?s=20" rel="noopener">practiced at PCOM</a> — a complex much smaller than their current practice facility — and notes that he much prefers what the team has going for it now with a playoff-caliber roster that hopes to compete for a championship behind the star duo of Joel Embiid and James Harden.</p><p>“We were processing the process,” Dedmon said of the Sixers team he first played on. He sees just how far the team has come in roughly a decade with one of the best players in the league leading a team full of talent. Although he said that he doesn’t know the specifics of his role, he’s ready to join the good thing the Sixers have going for them.</p><p>“Just style of play,” Dewayne Dedmon said of why this team is a good fit for him. “Feel like I can come in and help on the defensive end – talking, communicating, just trying to be in the right spot.” When asked what has stood out about the Sixers as an outsider, the 33-year-old big man pointed to the “talent everywhere. Such a talented team. You got one of the best bigs in the league in Joel, you got an established All-Star in James and an up-and-coming guard in [Tyrese] Maxey. It’s a great team.”</p><p>While Embiid and Harden are obviously the stars of the team, Maxey is also one of their biggest contributors. In Dedmon’s case, finding chemistry with him is extra important since they both come off the bench. Dedmon is impressed with the youngster, offering a complimentary comparison to one of his former Miami Heat teammates.</p><p>“Him coming off the bench, I compare it to Tyler [Herro] last year,” Dedmon said. “He comes in, he’s explosive, he scores, he gets the offense going and takes advantage of the other team’s second units. He’s a great talent. I’m actually looking forward to playing with him.”</p><p>As the Sixers try to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-daryl-morey-bold-take-philly-title-chances-following-trade-deadline" rel="noopener">finally get a quality big man</a> to back Embiid up in the playoffs, Dedmon hopes to be the guy they can lean on.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The move opens up two roster spots, providing added flexibility for further trades ahead of the Thursday deadline, via Kevin O’Connor.</p><p>The Heat’s return has yet to be revealed. But it appears as if this was simply a move to set up their roster for more trades during the week.</p><p>Miami has played well following a forgettable start to the year. They are climbing the Eastern Conference standings and would benefit from making a major addition or two ahead of the NBA trade deadline. Adding a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kevin-durant-heat-perfect-trade-kevin-durant-deadline" rel="noopener">star like Kevin Durant</a> would be a dream-come-true scenario for the Heat. But they at least need to add players <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-heat-interest-in-celtics-grant-williams-ahead-of-trade-deadline" rel="noopener">capable of helping them</a> reach new heights.</p><p>Dewayne Dedmon was an impactful player during his time in Miami. The big man averaged just under 6 points per game on 50 percent field goal shooting and just under 4 rebounds per contest this season. Although his presence off the bench benefitted the team, Miami needed to make room for potential acquisitions. It will be interesting to see if the Spurs look to move Dedmon or keep him on the roster.</p><p>Dedmon is in his 10th year in the league and could help a contender searching for post depth. Meanwhile, the Spurs are focused on rebuilding their roster, so a player like Dewayne Dedmon doesn’t necessarily fit their organizational strategy.</p><p>We will continue to provide updates on trades and news ahead of the deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the Heat’s 112-111 victory didn’t come without its distractions. In the second quarter of the aforementioned contest, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-dewayne-dedmon-ejected-after-erik-spoelstra-altercation" rel="noopener">officials ejected backup center Dewayne Dedmon</a> from the game after he threw a massage gun into the playing court after a heated argument with head coach Erik Spoelstra.</p><p>Of course, with every action comes an equal and opposite reaction. In light of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-erik-spoelstra-hilariously-sarcastic-response-to-dewayne-dedmon-ejection" rel="noopener">Dewayne Dedmon’s questionable actions</a>, the Heat <a href="https://twitter.com/IraHeatBeat/status/1613376789036011520" rel="noopener">suspended the backup center</a> for one game without pay, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.</p><p>Dedmon’s suspension <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-10-players-injury-report-vs-giannis-antetokounmpo-bucks" rel="noopener">depletes the Heat even further</a> as they take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night. Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry, the two head honchos of the Heat backcourt, are out due to injuries, while Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic, Omer Yurtseven, and Caleb Martin – crucial pieces off the Heat bench – also won’t be able to suit up.</p><p>Thankfully for the Heat, Bam Adebayo appears to be on track to make his return from a one-game absence after suffering a wrist contusion, while Jimmy Butler, despite missing a few games here and there this season, is probable to play against the Bucks.</p><p>The Heat re-signed Dewayne Dedmon to a two-year, $9 million deal this past offseason after snatching him up from free agency in April 2021. Dedmon has played in 112 games for the Heat thus far in his career, with 29 of those coming this season.

The referees wasted no time throwing Dedmon out of the game, and he might even get fined for his antics here.</p><p>As it was said in the broadcast, the Heat were extremely undermanned in this game due to injury.

If the Hawks don’t decide to trade Snell, he can still be a decent contributor off the bench. The 3-point sniper finished last season shooting 40 percent from deep while averaging eight points a game. They’ll also obtain a young guard in Thomas, who hasn’t seen much playing time during his two seasons in the league.

In what’s been deemed a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-rumors-joe-harris-receive-significant-offer-from-atlanta-in-free-agency/">weak free agency market</a>, they’ll likely pursuit most of their targets through trades.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One potential target is Sacramento Kings center Dewayne Dedmon, who is in the first year of a three-year $40 million contract, but has already publicly requested a trade. The Cavs can not only absorb Dedmon’s contract, but also provide the Kings with a replacement big m</p><p>Dedmon is a veteran in his seventh NBA season. He is 30 years old, averaging 4.9 points and 4.0 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game. This comes after he scored more than 10 points per game over the previous two seasons with the Atlanta Hawks. Dedmon is not a bad player in the slightest. He is a solid rebounder, he can space the floor, and this season, out of all centers who have appeared in 20 or more games, he ranks 11th in defensive rating.</p><p>He’s just probably not worth $40 million over three years. The final year of his deal is guaranteed for only $1 million, which theoretically would make his contract quite valuable to other teams, but theory doesn’t always translate when it comes to trades, as we saw with J.R. Smith this past summer.</p><p>Sacramento is apparently looking to shed salary, as they dealt Trevor Ariza, Wenyen Gabriel, and Caleb Swanigan to the Atlanta Hawks for Kent Bazemore and his expiring $19 million contract. Dedmon is the team’s second-highest paid player this season after Harrison Barnes.</p><p>Given his dissatisfaction and his low minutes, it makes sense that Sacramento is looking to deal him. Paying a player about $1 million per minute played isn’t terrible when that player is LeBron James or Giannis Antetekounmpo, but when it’s a rotational big man, it’s a bit of an issue.</p><p>Tristan Thompson should be an attractive target for the Kings. He’d step in and start immediately, providing an upgrade at center. His $18.5 million contract will also come off the books after this season, giving Sacramento more cap space. Dedmon and Harry Giles works financially, and would be a good starting point for a deal. Thompson is having a career year for the Cavs, and that combined with his large and expiring cap hit should make him quite valuable. Giles is 21 and still very talented, but hasn’t been able to carve out a role with the Kings. He will be a free agent at the end of the season, but would have a chance to play consistently, similar to Marquese Chriss last season. A draft pick or two should also be part of the discussion.</p><p>John Henson is also an option for Sacramento. He isn’t as good as Thompson, and is rather injury-prone, but he’s played quite well this season, although his averages of 4.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 13.2 minutes per game may not show it. He owns the highest Player Efficiency Rating on the Cavs at 19.1, and finished with 10 points, seven boards, two assists, and three blocks against the Los Angeles Clippers last week. His $9.7 expiring hit won’t create as much cap space as Thompson, but he’ll also cost less to get, and his contract can be straight-up swapped for Dedmon’s.</p><p>For the Cavaliers, Dedmon would be a rotational player, and could even start at center if both Thompson and Henson are dealt. He could play out the rest of this season, rebuild his value, and Cleveland can trade him at next year’s deadline for another contract and more assets, continuing the cycle.</p><p>Dedmon is just one of many different players the Cavs could target over the next few weeks. Even if he isn’t sent to Cleveland, it’s almost a certainty that the Cavaliers will be making multiple moves, which will make them<a href="http://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-kevin-love-admits-he-was-bothered-by-lebron-james-tweet-during-1st-year-with-cleveland/" rel="noopener noreferrer"> a team to watch very closely.</a></p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-57567745-1', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the Kings are currently asking for too much:</p><blockquote>Elsewhere in Sacramento, big man Dewayne Dedmon’s hopes of getting moved have yet to come to fruition. Sources say the Hawks are among the teams with interest, but Kings general manager Vlade Divac has thus far been setting the asking price too high for Atlanta’s liking.</blockquote><p>Dedmon has made it <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-dewayne-dedmon-comes-right-out-and-says-he-wants-a-trade/" rel="noopener noreferrer">no secret</a> that he wants out of Sacramento during what has been a disappointing season with the Kings after signing a three-year, $40 million deal with the organization as a free agent just last summer. Right now, the 7-foot big man is averaging just <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/dedmode01.html#all_per_game">14.3 minutes</a> per game in a limited role for head coach Luke Walton, and he is putting up 5.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 0.5 blocks per contest.</p><p>This is a far cry from Dedmon’s numbers in his two years for the Hawks, when he averaged 10.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and a block, along with 1.1 3-pointers per ballgame. This is exactly why the Hawks are looking at the prospect of a reunion, but if the above report holds true, then Atlanta may need to look elsewhere to fill the void at the center position.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 7-foot center is shooting a subpar 41.9% from the floor and 22.9% from deep.</p><blockquote>“I’m not the only person struggling with my shot, so if that’s a factor then it’s kind of crazy,” said Dedmon. “If you’re not allowed to shoot through your slumps, I don’t know how you’re supposed to make shots.”</blockquote><p>He’s also been a nonfactor defensively, which alarmed the coaching staff.</p><p>Yet the Kings have had a history of indecisions and poor player management in recent years. Cauley-Stein had a career-low 0.6 blocks per game last season with the Kings but has miraculously doubled that this season with the Warriors, now only seven blocks away from tying his 2018-19 mark in only 31 games played.</p><p>Dedmon is playing only 13.6 minutes per game, roughly half of the 25 nightly minutes he received playing for the Hawks the past two seasons. Even when reminded of the handsome check he received this summer, the 7-footer is cognizant of his situation.</p><blockquote>“I appreciate it. I definitely appreciate it, but I want to be somewhere where I get to play,” said Dedmon. “That’s my biggest thing. I’m trying to play and I’ve been told I’m no longer in the rotation here, so there’s really nothing to wait on.”</blockquote><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Lancaster, California native averaged a career-high 10.8 points and 7.5 rebounds in 25.1 minutes per game. The breakout season led to Dedmon signing a three-year deal worth $41 with the Kings in the offseason.</p><p>However, Dedmon has now fallen out of the Kings’ rotation and is reportedly squarely on the trading block. Here are three teams that could trade for the big man.</p><p><b>Boston Celtics</b></p><p>With how well Enes Kanter has been playing in the last few games, Celtics fans may not see a reason for their team to pursue someone like Dedmon. Daniel Theis is also playing well and has become a valuable rotation piece for Boston.</p><p>On the other hand, Dedmon is a better rim protector than Kanter and offers similar production on the boards. Dedmon would also provide th e Celtics with some much-needed size.</p><p>But what really separates Dedmon from the rest of the bigs on the Celtics roster is his ability to hit the three. While he hasn’t been productive this year, Dedmon hit an impressive 38.2 percent of his shots from deep last season on nearly three and a half attempts per game.</p><p><b>Portland Trailblazers</b></p><p>Hassan Whiteside has played well in his first season in Portland. But, with Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins both out with injury, the Blazers are in desperate need of depth in the front court.</p><p>His $41 million contract isn’t the most appetizing but if Portland can get rid of a big expiring contract like Kent Bazemore, it would certainly lessen the financial blow. Luckily, Dedmon’s contract is only fully guaranteed through next season.</p><p>This one really depends on how long the Trailblazers expect their two injured big men to be out and how much they want to push for a playoff spot in the Western Conference this year.</p><p><b>Minnesota Timberwolves</b></p><p>After a hot start to the season, the Timberwolves have fallen back down to earth. If Minnesota wants to remain in the hunt, a big man with Dedmon’s skills could certainly help.</p><p>Karl Anthony Towns is one of the best shooting big men in the league but as a team, Minnesota ranks second-to-last in the NBA in three-point percentage.</p><p>A front court of KAT, Dedmon and Gorgui Dieng would provide the Timberwolves with a nice mix of shooting, rebounding and defense.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
