Lakers Urged to Sign Spencer Dinwiddie after Waived Guard’s Social Media Activity Following Trade Deadline

The Brooklyn Nets and the Toronto Raptors agreed on a trade for Denis Schroder, Thaddeus Young, and Spencer Dinwiddie on deadline day. Schroder and Young went to the Nets, while Dinwiddie found a new home out north. However, his joy was short-lived, as the Raptors waived him almost immediately, and he is now without a team.

That leaves the Canadian franchise with two empty roster spots. With the already stacked buyout market with names like Marcus Morris Sr. and Kyle Lowry, the addition of Dinwiddie only adds to the glamor. And a select few teams, with hope.

Spencer Dinwiddie finds himself in a dilemma

Namely, two teams, the Lakers and Mavericks, watched with glee as Spencer entered the buyout market. Despite always staying at the top, LA struggles to keep its position in the top 10 this season. Although not having the best season himself, Dinwiddie’s ball-handling skills and scoring will be valuable off the bench for the Purple & Gold. Add to it the fact that Spencer Dinwiddie has subtly left breadcrumbs suggesting he would like to play for his home team on X.

A Los Angeles native, the 30-year-old’s interest in the Lakers is understandable. Having kept quiet during the deadline, there is the possibility of the team getting aggressive in the buyout. D’Angelo Russell was their primary trade asset. Seeing as how that train left the station, the next best thing is to get Dinwiddie as the backup ball handler off the bench for D’Lo.

Yet, they aren’t the only ones putting their best offers forward. Dallas is en route to get their former guard back on the team. After all, he, Luka Doncic, and Jalen Brunson were the three-headed attack that spearheaded the Mavs to the 2022 Western Conference Finals. The 6’5 veteran will have a difficult time making a decision.

Anyway, the Lakers fans have still not given up on them. They believe that the LeBron-led team has hope. And all they require are the right pieces and a championship mindset! Hopefully, Dinwiddie grants LA’s wishes.
