This is now part of the larger deal which has shipped Russell Westbrook to the LA Lakers, and actually includes more franchises.
New trade summary:
— FantasyLabs NBA (@FantasyLabsNBA) August 4, 2021
Lakers get - Russell Westbrook
Wizards get - Spencer Dinwiddie, Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell, Aaron Holiday, Isaiah Todd
Nets get - 2nd-round pick, pick swap
Spurs get - Chandler Hutchison, 2nd-round pick
Pacers get - Isaiah Jackson
Dinwiddie was a second round pick out of Colorado in the 2014 NBA Draft, and broke out in the 2019-20 season, averaging 20.6 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 6.8 apg in 31.2 mpg (all career highs). Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in the third game of the season and was forced to miss the remainder of the season.
It will be interesting to see how Dinwiddie pairs with Beal, who has been one of the NBA's leading scorers over the last three seasons, averaging 28.7 ppg over the span.
