It’s one thing for talking heads to say the Nets should or will use Spencer Dinwiddie to acquire a third star or a more valuable asset. But to say Dinwiddie wants out? That sounds flat out ridiculous.

Yet, Jay Williams expressed on ESPN’s “Get Up!” the guard does not want to be with the Nets — which would help Brooklyn in a possible deal for a certain Houston Rockets star.

“I wouldn’t discount the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden,” Williams said. “The Brooklyn Nets have Spencer Dinwiddie — he’s been sending subliminal messages about not wanting to be in Brooklyn, he’s been out in LA for the last couple of months. They have Caris LeVert. They have a lot of assets. They wanna try to get Joe Harris back, but they have a lot of moving parts.

“Kevin Durant and James Harden and Kyrie Irving together on the same team, that could be [an] interesting play, as well.”

First off, Durant and Irving have been training in Los Angeles, as well. As have other members of the Nets. Dinwiddie is also an LA native.

Second, “I had the most fun years of my career playing for the Nets,” is not something you’d expect someone to tweet if they want out. Especially when said individual is tweeting about winning championships not individual accolades and commenting how they “I liked yesterday’s news cycle better” the second their name pop up in what appear to be legitimate trade rumors.

As for the Harden-to-Brooklyn talk, The Athletic‘s Shams Charania has not reported anything different regarding Houston’s star since tweeting Harden “remains committed to the Rockets and is ‘locked-in’ for the season.”
