Wizards could ink a deal with point guard Spencer Dinwiddie soon

Washington traded Russell Westbrook to Lakers last week itself and went on to priorities the signing of point guard Spencer Dinwiddie from free agency. Wizards are now close to inking a deal as they attempt to improve their starting lineup. The signing was delayed earlier as it needs to be a sign-and-trade as Wizards do not have enough salary cap to sign Dinwiddie outright. Wizards would have to sell players to Nets as Dinwiddle is expected to cost $20 million per season.

The Point guard is coming back from a break after he underwent surgery on his partially torn ACL in January. In 2019-2020 he averaged about 20.6 points and 6.8 assists per game, the 28-year-old is known for his defensive skills and was a key part of the Nets team.
