How Miami Heat Twitter Reacted To The Dewayne Dedmon Trade

The Miami Heat traded Dewayne Dedmon and a second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs.

Dedmon is averaging 5.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists.

It looks like the Heat will not receive in the trade, but most fans are just happy to get rid of Dedmon.

Not having to watch Dedmon play for the Miami heat ever again

Aside from Kyle Lowry, nobody on the roster has been criticized more harshly by Heat Twitter than Dedmon. He averaged as many personal fouls (2.0) this season as made field goals (2.1).

Dedmon’s most prominent moment this season was getting suspended for throwing a message gun on the court during the Jan. 10 game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Dedmon’s tenure in Miami has slowly declined since he arrived. He started off as a solid backup to Bam Adebayo, seeing an improved role when Meyers Leonard was suspended. His decrease in production became too much for Miami fans to overlook. Many are hoping rookie Orlando Robinson or Omer Yurtseven can step up in that role.
