The Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie is highly likely to get traded this summer. The 30-year-old is on the radar of the Los Angeles Clippers. Both the Nets and the Clippers are making final changes to their squad before the new season begins.
The Clippers have a lot of assets they can trade off for a star or quality player, while the Nets would like to get their hands on some assets. There are trades that fulfil the requirements of both parties, and this Spencer deal gives off the same vibes. Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Brooklyn Nets involving Spencer Dinwiddie.
What would the Clippers offer for Spencer Dinwiddie?
The Clippers are expected to trade off Marcus Morris, Jason Preston, and one second-round pick each from the year 2024 and 2029 in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie. The Nets once had the likes of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving on their roster and they were on top of the world. They used to use their draft picks to sign quality players, and those players were needed for squad depth only. The Nets have lost it all, and they are struggling, but they are still strong with loads of good players, but do they see themselves as contenders?
“Tyler Herro is set to make $27M in 2023-24, meaning Brooklyn would need to send out $17.2M in a trade to acquire him while staying out of the tax. Spencer Dinwiddie is entering the final year of his contract at $20.4M, making him the most likely candidate to be moved in a deal” https://t.co/HGXADdoAHI pic.twitter.com/3cqpUDKXMI

Why would the Nets let Spencer Dinwiddie go?
Deep down the Nets know that they are not competing for a title this season and getting a bunch of players and draft picks would make them better. But they are visionary, and the assets from this deal would help them in the long run when they would try to land star players in the future.
Spencer Dinwiddie moved in a Tyler Herro trade makes by far the most sense. https://t.co/04OLu9IlIj

Why would the Clippers like to sign Spencer Dinwiddie?
The Clippers have been facing a lot of injury issues for a while now, and Leonard and Geroge’s health has been concerning. But they are putting their faith in them, and rather than signing somebody to cover up when things go south, they are strengthening the squad by signing a player they really need.
Will Spencer live up to the expectations if the trade goes through? How good of a decision would it be? We’ll keep you updated.
