Spencer Dinwiddie plans to sign with the Los Angeles for the remainder of the season. Dinwiddie should clear waivers later in the day on Saturday. The veteran guard was spotted sitting with Lakers GM Rob Pelinka at the team’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.
The Lakers stood pat at the trade deadline but have made a big addition with Dinwiddie in the fold for their playoff run. Los Angeles had been looking to upgrade their guard rotation and have now done so.
Dinwiddie averaged 12.6 points and 6.0 assists for the Brooklyn Nets this season. He’d started all 48 games he’d played before trading to the Toronto Raptors at the deadline. Toronto subsequently waived Dinwiddie following the trade.
The Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons discussed trades ahead of the deadline. Philadelphia was interested in adding Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, but they weren’t willing to trade Tobias Harris to do it.
Detroit’s interest in reuniting with Harris has been rumored for a while now. The Pistons could pursue Harris when he becomes a free agent this summer.
The Sixers couldn’t afford to give up Harris, as he’s a key player for them, especially in the wake of Joel Embiid’s knee surgery. Philadelphia could seek to work a new deal with Harris when he’s a free agent this summer.
Bogdanovic and Burks were ultimately traded to the New York Knicks. The Pistons received Quentin Grimes, two second-round picks and a collection of matching salaries from the Knicks in the deal.
