In a recent interview, Spencer Dinwiddie made a notable remark against his former team. After securing a spot with the Los Angeles Lakers for the remainder of the season, Spencer pointed out that the Luka Doncic-led Dallas Mavericks exhibited a less active approach compared to the Lakers. Despite the Mavericks expressing interest in signing him, Dinwiddie opted for the purple and gold. While some might assume his choice was influenced by Southern California being his home, he offered a bizarre analogy as his reason.

However, Spencer’s commitment to the Lakers seemed unshakeable until a recent revelation about Kyle Kuzma emerged. Kuzma was given the option to be traded to the Mavericks but decided to stick with the Washington Wizards, striving to secure its 10th win of the season. The Mavs, on the other hand, hold the 8th seed in the Western Conference.

Ex-Champion hilariously mocks the Washington Wizards

The NBA Today panel convened to discuss Kyle Kuzma’s firm decision to remain with the Wizards. Kuz stated that he wants to be part of a championship-contending team, contrasting Dallas’s position as merely vying for a playoff spot. Spencer Dinwiddie’s recent rejection added fuel to a narrative questioning why players might be hesitant to join the Dallas Mavericks or play alongside Luka Doncic. However, former champion Richard Jefferson interjected, hilariously apologizing to the Wizards fans for nearly the last decade of their NBA journey.

Additionally, Chiney Ogwumike emphasized Spencer’s approach to taking on more accountability, especially with the expectations of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Furthermore, Jefferson echoed this sentiment, stating that the Lakers not only need Spencer but will also appreciate his contributions. In contrast, Dallas has already allowed Spencer to serve them and had traded him earlier.

Can Luka Doncic win the MVP award this season?

Luka Doncic’s performance through 46 out of Dallas’s 54 games has been exceptional, averaging 34.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 9.6 assists. However, despite his outstanding performances, Doncic’s name on the MVP ladder hasn’t garnered much media attention. This is primarily due to Dallas’s struggle to maintain a top position in their conference. While injuries play a significant role in their mediocre season, the final MVP rankings will ultimately come behind a player’s contribution to secure victories.

Fortunately, Luka remains well within the NBA’s award season eligibility rules, with 28 games remaining in Dallas’s season. To bolster his chances of winning the prestigious trophy, Dallas must initiate a winning streak soon. Teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors have already showcased their winning ways, and if Dallas fails to follow suit, they might have to relinquish not only their star’s chances of winning the deserved title but also their playoff spot.
