Yurt spent four years in Georgetown, a whole year overseas and an entire year as a Heat player and got a lot of time on the court, and will get an entire training camp/preseason this year. He is in his contract year, he should be ready to contribute when the season starts. The best time for him to learn on court is at the beginning of the season. He has enough years of coaching to be able understand where to be in the court and fundamentals.AirP. wrote:twix2500 wrote:The league knows what Dedmon is. GMs are not gonna be scouting him.

Scout Dedmon? Who said anyone was scouting Dedmon? Miami could go with Dedmon early on because he may understand where he's suppose to be on offense and defense while Yurtseven may not. Too many people just look at the player without the understanding that they need to play their role and understand how to read and react correctly inside of an offense or defense. Yurtseven seemed to miss his assignments a number of times last year and while that may work in the regular season, that'll get exploited in the playoffs.
Dedmon more then likely will be used as an expiring contract, this year or next. I highly doubt anyone is really looking to add Dedmon to their roster, let alone giving up some type of asset for him.
The reason I mentioned possibly paying him more to play is because he's still making almost 3 million a year from being stretched in Detroit so he still has nearly 8 million coming in over the next 3 years.
If he has enough years of coaching to be able to understand the court and fundamentals, we know he has the size and is skilled, then why wasn't he on the court last year in front of Dedmon? What changes are happening over the summer that has leaped Yurtseven over Dedmon? I think it has a lot to do with knowing where to be at on the court depending on what was going on, you obviously have a different thought, so what is it, what kept Yurtseven as the 3rd string center behind Dedmon? What is happening in the summer that has changed that situation?
Also, very few teams would trade for Dedmon to actually use him instead of developing other players, so that market is so small that it's probable Miami would get basically nothing for him. As an expiring contract, that market is probably much larger and could bring back someone they could use or an asset.
Ownership is going to use Marks not able to get a suitable deal as a scape goat to fire him. If he fires Marks and hires a new GM then that GM is going to want to hire his own coach.
