You can tell me all you want about how poor Dinwiddie is playing and how we need to upgrade his skillset and I can find myself agreeing at times but the moment you trade him (without bringing another ball handler back) is the moment you drop this team's ceiling dramatically. His ball handling is a necessity on this team right now, if we haven't replaced that skillset by the time his contract is up then I wouldn't be surprised if he is extended.
There is a very obvious reason that Hardaway has been shopped since the moment he signed that new deal and we don't see Dinwiddie's name come up.
I gravitate towards this post.
I hate THJ's selfish ways. I believe Dinwiddie has gotten too comfortable, to the point I find myself frustrated with him like I do THJ. Dinwiddie has a MAJOR issue with driving to the hoop and refusing to kick out. He will throw up an ugly looking shot over kicking to an open player in the corner. Its frustrating for sure.
But...last half of the season last year...the way Dinwiddie played(unselfish) was such a breathe of fresh air. Are team was lacking a ball-handler. I do not want to lose that, even though I am kind of starting to get very frustrated with his decisions on offense. If he would revert back to last seasons Dinwiddie I would be very happy.
On top of that, MY PERSONAL OPINION, Dinwiddie seems to have an above average instinct to feel a mismatch and attack the rim AND FINISH. MY OPINION. I think he is exceptional at getting to the rim and finishing with layups. And...I think this team could use that.
TL;DR = Im reluctant to get off Dinwiddie. Offensive Spencer that is.
