MILWAUKEE — The 76ers were the first team with a real opportunity to call Dewayne Dedmon.
Other teams sent out feelers, checking on Dedmon’s availability in case they might need a center. But the Sixers were all-in about signing him in the buyout market after he was waived by the San Antonio Spurs on Feb. 9.
“I show my appreciation to people who come calling,” Dedmon said Saturday of signing with the Sixers on Valentine’s Day. “... They were the ones that had a real job waiting for me.”
