Dewayne Dedmon traded to Detroit for Snell and Thomas

[macdaddy]

Snell shot 40% and had a 102 made 3s last season.  That would have been 4th on the Hawks behind Tray, Heurter, Hunter in made 3s and 1st on the team in % just ahead of Collins.

It's really not a bad deal. I'm just impulsive and overreact in the moment. Stats look good. He could be a useful player to strengthen the back end of the bench.

I don’t like the trade at all, Dedmon is more useful to us than Snell, we need quality wings, not end of the bench wings. Dedmon was key for Okongwu development as stretch five when Okongwu is playing PF, really hate the trade. 
 

At least I hope Skal takes Dedmon role as stretch five

Dedmon shot 20% from three last year. Not sure that stretches anything.

Actually we did good in this because Snell is also an expiring as well, he can be move again or played out the season then be a FA and the Hawks will have enough to resign JC and more.  It was a Cap Neutral Deal

But what about McRib?

Dedmon was gawd awful last year.

Very good pickup! Solid 3&D wing player....But we need more vet help still.

I make one comment about Dedmon calling Peachtree Movers last night and all hell breaks loose...

Two men and a truck showed up first.

Shooters. Surround Trae around shooters and Rollmen.

Championship, here we come.

Snell’s numbers indicate a player as good as his coaching.  A 119/ 109 offensive / defensive rating last season under Bud is eye popping, same as the 104 defensive rating as a 16 minute rookie under Thibs.  Far more pedestrian values under coaching greats Fred Hoiberg and Jason Kidd.

With a career .540 efg and 2:1 assist to turn he’s a sharp player no doubt, just not confident in this staff pulling his best out.  He’s gotta be a great positional guy, the poor rebounding hurts.

Solid defender, can knock down open threes. Good fit. World's better than Bembry ball that's for dogone sure.

I hate to see Dedmon go.  He contributes to the team in more ways than one.  We lost this trade imo.

By all accounts Dedmon was a great locker room guy but Snell brings 3 point shooting off the bench that we desperately needed.
