Dinwiddie would have been nice but the decision makes perfect sense if you look at the Laker's guard in the past couple weeks
Some guy named Skylar Mays was the main guard off the bench last night

Free agent F Justise Winslow is signing a 10-day deal with the Toronto Raptors, sources tell ESPN. Winslow has been playing with the Raptors’ 905 G League team.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are adding frontcourt depth, signing veteran center Bismack Biyombo to a minimum deal, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Biyombo averaged 5.2 points and 6.4 rebounds over 30 games for Grizzlies this
Another nice move. Biyombo may not help in the playoffs at all, but they needed a big guy who could play for spots in the regular season.

Their big FA signing, Gabe Vincent hasn't played a minute all season. They had to sign another PG. What kind of injury does he have?

He's had knee issues since November. Had to have surgery that will keep him out till March.

Just leave the buyout market alone. 99% of the time these guys make no difference anyway. Not worth it. Bringing in Marucs Morris can only mess up the team hierarchy. He could un-settle his brother, the Kyrie whisperer. He will demand minutes at the 3 or 4, which could mess with the heads of Green and/or Washington. Both seem like introverted personalities, who need to know they are valued and trusted. Bringing in another guard is disrespectful to Hardy, who will struggle to get his minutes anyway. Let´s not forget Exum and Lively didn´t even play. Maybe you just do a Myles Turner style rookie deal with Lawson. Convert his two-way into a four year rookie deal and frontload the first year to give him a little extra now.

Alternatively, Marcus could provide an even steadier bench presence and allow the Mavs to run a small ball bench lineup of:
Kyrie/Green/PJ/Marcus/Maxi where all 5 guys could hit a 3.
But you are bringing up an interesting perspective. I haven't really thought about should Marcus come here and get disgruntled, what his brother, and in turn Kyrie would feel.

Klay Thompson says he’s open to a reduced role if it means staying with the Warriors, per @loganmmurdock
“There’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll be 35 next year. At 35, coming off the ACL and an Achilles [tear] and still have the ability to be a really good player. Maybe not the guy who scored 60 in three quarters and scored an NBA record 37 points in a quarter, but still a great threat out there. I’ve modeled my game after Reggie [Miller] and Ray [Allen], and those guys were incredibly effective until their late 30s. So I plan on kind of following that mold.”
Only issue is, will Klay take a reduced contract that usually accompanies a reduced role. And if so, what is that reduced contract? Say a team comes with a full MLE offer for 3 years, but a significant role on their team. Would he value that or staying with GSW? What if DET throws 25 a year at him? Something to keep a tab on.

His name will certainly come up but how much better is Smart than Green or Exum at this point? I’m kind of on the fence about going that direction.
I expect the nets to eventually make Mikal available and for us to throw the house at them.

I don’t think either will be made available. And even if they were, we wouldn’t have enough even if we hadn’t made the trades. It feels like OKC and others have enough picks that if they really wanted somebody, then nobody would be able to top their offer

Those are the two names I keep coming back to as well. I do think Mikal will eventually be moved though. Doesn’t make sense to keep a player that good but not quite that good on a rebuilding roster during the prime of their career
I legitimately think the plan is to go after Lebron though. There’s too much smoke.

Marc Stein:
"Could the Hawks ultimately decide to keep Dejounte Murray and trade Trae Young in the offseason? I can tell you this much: They’ve certainly convinced various rival teams that a Dejounte In/Trae Out course is going to be legitimately considered.
San Antonio tops the perceived list. The Spurs have circulated for months among prominent league observers as a viable destination for Young’s offensive gifts.
In Victor Wembanyama, they also seemingly possess precisely the sort of long and rangy defensive anchor who could mitigate Young’s defensive deficiencies.
It is likewise believed in some corners of the league that Young would have interest in South Texas as a destination if he were forced to leave Atlanta."
In that same article:
“I know of at least two teams on the NBA map that believe LeBron James would consider signing with them at far less than $51.4 million if Bronny James is on the roster. There might be more.”
