Lakers News: Spencer Dinwiddie Weighs In On Possible LA Homecoming
Growing up as a basketball fan from Woodland Hills, California, typically means that you are a Lakers fan. Not always, of course, but it's fair to say that it is the likely team for a person.
For guard Spencer Dinwiddie, getting a chance to put on a Lakers jersey would mean the world to him. And there is now a chance that it could finally come true.
After standing pat at the trade deadline, the Lakers are now turning their attention to the buyout market for roster help. Dinwiddie seems to be one of their priorities to land, and he would be a major help to the team.
Los Angeles needs another guard in their rotation, and Dinwiddie was released after being traded to the Toronto Raptors. The two sides could come together, and it seems that Dinwiddie isn't against the idea.
He liked a tweet referring to the Lakers bringing him in for the rest of the season.
The veteran point guard has averaged 12.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game with the Brooklyn Nets. He wouldn't solve all the issues that plague the Lakers, but he could help ease some problems.
Los Angeles would also be getting a likely motivated Dinwiddie with him coming back home. If he played well, it could turn into a potential long-term pairing for both sides.
This is a move that could very likely happen, and the Lakers could do a lot worse than adding a solid backup point guard like Dinwiddie. The team has some work to do to become real contenders, but with a good bill of health, anything is possible.
