The Brooklyn Nets and guard Spencer Dinwiddie agreed Thursday to a three-year, $34 million extension, which leads to the inescapable conclusion that D’Angelo Russell — one thought to be the Nets’ point guard of the future — is now the point guard for only the very immediate future.
General manager Sean Marks had a choice to make heading into an offseason next July that includes significant cap space and both of his point guards heading into free agency.
He could extend Dinwiddie before the fifth-year symbol of Brooklyn’s player development system could hit the open market.
