Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie has parted ways with Roc Nation Sports and is seriously considering the possibility of representing himself, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic (via Twitter).
Dinwiddie became a Roc Nation client about a year ago after his representative, Raymond Brothers, joined the agency. He hasn’t signed a new contract since December 2018, when he inked a three-year extension that locks him up through at least the 2020/21 season — he has a $12.3MM player option for ’21/22, so he can reach the open market next year at age 28.
Dinwiddie, who has been with the Nets since 2016, enjoyed perhaps his best season in 2019/20, establishing new career highs in PPG (20.6), APG (6.8), and RPG (3.5), among other categories. Those numbers figure to slip a little with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving back in Brooklyn’s lineup, but Dinwiddie has established himself as a reliable scorer and play-maker and should do well on his next deal.
If Dinwiddie elects to negotiate his next contract on his own, it will be interesting to see what it ends up looking like. The point guard has exhibited a willingness to get creative with his financial portfolio, having made an effort last year to turn his NBA contract into a digital investment vehicle. When he eventually launched his investment bond in January, the league prevented him from tying it directly to his contract.
Look, I love Spence, great teammate. But he been around Kyrie too much or something
I hired my masseuse as agent so to get free back rubs.
Dreaming.
Probably would not make any difference though.
No doubt he will opt out next year to join an actual contender.
He will look for a big contract. He is approaching the late part of his career.
If Spencer ever wants to play with LAKERS, he better sign with Klutch.
Klutch seems to have this “very nice” relationship with the LAKERS …….. Klutch players seem to get to the LAKERS with relative ease.
I have no idea why.
An agent who represents himself has a client who is a fool.
