FA: Spencer Dinwiddie Heads to DAL | 1 yr/vet min

I assume Lawson already knows, but they´ll keep him around until October, so he gets paid part of his salary, while he´s looking for a new team (overseas).

I´d have prefered DSJ, because of the defensive factor on the back-up unit, but as long as Hardy is finally playing off ball, I´ll be happy. I think he can average 13-14 PPG in that role (24 MPG). Question is will Dinwiddie play unselfish? Not exactly his speciality. So far Hardy has shown reasonable self restraint, when THJ ignored him to get his. But this is a contract year and Hardy is playing for life-altering money. In many ways it would be good, if Hardy reached an extension (48/4) that gives him financial security and elevated his roster relevance vs. Dinwiddie.

Its hard to see a world where hardy gets 24 MPG, even before this signing.  With Klay in the mix I expect the bench focus to be more defense oriented.  Naji and Grimes are likely getting the big minutes.  Hardy will have to compete with Exum and Din for the scraps.
