While the Golden State Warriors are still contemplating what they should do with two vacant roster positions, one of their biggest rivals has made a free agency splash following Thursday’s trade deadline.

As first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic on Saturday, former guard of the Brooklyn Nets Spencer Dinwiddie has signed with the Los Angeles Lakers following a trade, but was then waived by the Toronto Raptors on Thursday.

The news is not a big surprise after initial reports suggested that Dinwiddie would choose between the Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks. Before the 30-year-old was seen sitting next to Los Angeles General Manager Rob Pelinka during the team’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday evening, the news came as little surprise.

Following the trade deadline, Dinwiddie was widely regarded as the best player on the market, having averaged 13.6 points and 5.3 assists in his 10-year career. In 2017-18, il a terminé troisième dans la sélection du meilleur joueur, puis quatrième dans la sélection du sixième homme de l’année une saison plus tard.

As a team above the second tax apron, the Warriors were not allowed to sign Dinwiddie or any other player making more than the mid-level exception. The 6’5″ guard had been on a contract expiring at $18.9 million.

Après avoir vu Dinwiddie deux fois lors de deux matchs avec les Nets cette saison, les Warriors et les Lakers vont le voir à trois reprises lors de leurs préparatifs pour Crypto.com Arena deux fois après la pause des All-Stars, en plus d’un autre match à Chase Center.

Il est évident que Dinwiddie était contrarié à la fin de son mandat à Brooklyn, mais il n’est pas encore clair combien cela a conduit à sa production plus faible. This season, he had become one of the league’s worst offensive players, scoring 39.1% from the floor and 32% from three-point range.

While he scored 16 points and 14 assists in their first game at Chase Center in December, Dinwiddie’s recent struggles included a nine-point, 3-of-12 shooting performance against Golden State on Monday.

Dinwiddie’s accession aux Lakers peut être un peu exagérée, et cela ne devrait pas préoccuper les Warriors ou toute autre équipe prévue pour jouer contre eux pendant la deuxième moitié de la saison. Il s’agit d’un excellent joueur, mais LeBron James, D’Angelo Russell et Austin Reaves sont probablement responsables de la gestion du ballon et de la création de match.
