NBA Trade Rumors: Pistons Interested For a Possible Trade For Brooklyn Nets’ Spencer Dinwiddie

Published 03/01/2021, 1:19 AM EST

The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the most entertaining teams in the ongoing NBA season. With a stellar big three in Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden, the Nets have simply been unstoppable.

Although bringing in Harden looks like a wise move, the Nets have somewhat compromised the quality of the players on the bench. They do have a quality backup guard in Spencer Dinwiddie, but the 27-year-old suffered from a gruesome ACL tear early this season.

The Nets are looking to bolster their roster ahead of a championship push. With limited picks and players left, the 27-year-old, Dinwiddie, has emerged as a real trade asset for the Nets.

Potential buyers for the guard have also emerged. According to NBA insider Ian Begley, the Detroit Pistons are one of the teams interested in the 27-year-old.

The Pistons, who are currently at the last position in the Eastern Conference, have a big void in their guard position with Derrick Rose‘s departure to the Knicks.

Dinwiddie can be a decent addition to the side, but given that he is in an expiring contract, the Pistons might be in for a tricky situation in the summer.

How will the Brooklyn Nets improve by trading Dinwiddie?

The Nets have a great roster but could certainly improve their frontcourt. Given the lack of form DeAndre Jordan has shown, and lack of size in the team, the Nets are clearly looking to sign a decent enough center for the team.

Enter Spencer Dinwiddie. The 27-year-old can be the perfect answer to the Pistons’ backcourt. The Pistons might be missing Rose’s output, but with Dinwiddie at the helm, the Pistons will have a great guard.

Brooklyn, on the other hand, can take this opportunity to add a decent center in Mason Plumlee and guard Saben Lee to their roster. Plumlee can be the marquee center for the Nets and the team won’t have to compete in a fierce buyout market where other competitors will be determined to pick a player.

The Nets need a defensive stopper alongside Durant, Harden, and Kyrie. With the trade deadline running out, the Nets front office needs to act fast. Will they pull the trigger in a probable Dinwiddie trade?
