As Forbes writer Jeff Siegel notes near the end of his story on the complicated nature of the Nets upcoming negotiations with Spencer Dinwiddie, “There are a lot of factors that go into this decision on both sides.”
Siegel touches on most if not all of them in his story, but the key point is this: Sometime around the turn of the year, the Nets will have to decide whether to give Dinwiddie up to $47.5 million over four years ... or open trade talks.
The decision is an outgrowth of a contract Dinwiddie signed on December 8, 2016 when the Nets were desperate, with a capital D, for point guard help.
