I can't believe I'm on here defending Dinwiddie, who's a player I'm not that high on, and would be wildly disappointed if he was our primary get. But 3/45 is not really a fat contract (only 5 more than MLE). He has legit starter talent and is a better fit with Brunson in the second unit. I don't really see either of those other two guys in the starting unit, and I would probably not want to spend the full MLE on them (more like the room if we are under the cap).
To be clear, this is not plan A or B or C. If we don't get a play maker with the cap, I would probably prefer something like Reggie Jackson for the MLE, but that may not be an option (and we can't S&T him because Clips don't have his bird rights). But if my options are hold on to JRich, S&T Oubre, or take on a bad contract (like Gordon) then I'm rolling with Din.
