Disgruntled Kings center Dewayne Dedmon has taken his trade request public, and likely earned himself a fine in the process. Dedmon spoke with Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee and confirmed that he’d like to be traded. Dedmon told Anderson he felt his talents weren’t appreciated by the Kings. He also indicated he feels there’s a double standard at play regarding his shooting woes.
“I’m not the only person struggling with my shot, so if that’s a factor then it’s kind of crazy,” Dedmon said. “If you’re not allowed to shoot through your slumps, I don’t know how you’re supposed to make shots.
