Montrezl Harrell, Spencer Dinwiddie, Thomas Bryant available for trade

Yet sources also believe Washington would encounter difficulties trading Dinwiddie, who is one year removed from knee surgery and is owed $18 million in guaranteed salary in 2022-23. His $18.9 million salary for 2023-24 is partially guaranteed for $10 million. “I think it would be tough (to trade him) because he makes a lot of money, and he hasn’t played very well, and, honestly, they’re not playing very well, and people can smell that a mile away,” one source said. -via The Athletic / February 2, 2022

Elsewhere in Washington, the Wizards have made Spencer Dinwiddie available for trade. It is difficult to imagine a wide market just a few months after the combo guard signed a three-year, $54 million contract. Team personnel across the league have noted Dinwiddie’s decline in production as he’s returned from a torn ACL that cost him all but three games in the 2020-21 season. “He needs the ball, he’s not good enough to have the ball, and he’s not a good shooter,” one Western Conference executive told B/R. Even with a career-high 37.6 percent mark in 2016-17, Dinwiddie has converted just 31.8 percent of his long-range attempts in eight seasons.  -via Bleacher Report / February 2, 2022

So, what kind of point guard can the Clippers reasonably obtain? Over the past few weeks, numerous reports have cited names like Jalen Brunson, Dennis Schröder, Kemba Walker, Goran Dragic, Spencer Dinwiddie, and John Wall as targets. Brunson embodies what the Clippers really need. He’s selfless and tough. He makes quick decisions as a playmaker, limits mistakes, and he can score with confidence all over the court. The truth is the Mavericks should be trying to keep him. And he might realistically be out of the Clippers’ price range, unless he forces his way to Los Angeles in a sign-and-trade during the summer as an unrestricted free agent. Other options are less inspiring. Kemba is well past his prime. The Wizards want to move Dinwiddie because he looks like a shell of his former self and his teammates don’t want him there. Schröder is fine, but he leans too far toward scoring and would be an awkward fit next to Jackson. -via The Ringer / January 31, 2022
