So if he can show up again this season and enlight some hope that he'll get back to his former self, then this could actually move the needle, yes. Question remains then, what could come back in return.
Dinwiddie's next contract will be interesting. He is not always a favorite of mine, but he has clearly outperformed a minimum contract. Not sure what type of offers he gets next year though. Probably more than the minimum again but less than the MLE. Sometimes you get pigeonholed in a certain salary range and you are left without much bargaining room.
Din is sure aware of this and thats probably also a good reason for his improved showings lately. He's basically playing for his next contract not to be stuck in nowheresland.
