No contract extension for Spencer Dinwiddie?
Dinwiddie will become eligible for a contract extension Dec. 8, three years after he signed his current deal. But unlike Russell – who could theoretically sign an extension for a max salary – Dinwiddie’s extension is capped at about $47 million over four years. Though it’s possible he could draw more in unrestricted free agency next summer, Dinwiddie – who has only once and only barely exceeded a minimum salary in his career – sounds open to locking in sooner. Not that he expects an offer. “If Sean Marks calls to give me a contract extension, I’ll take it,” Dinwiddie said. “But until he does, I’m looking forward to being a free agent.”
Dinwiddie, on the other hand, said he’s more focused on the court than motivated by his contract situation. “That’s all I can really afford to look at,” Dinwiddie said. “You look at my role – second-round pick, out the league, now back in the league, obviously good season, don’t matter, back on the bench, all that other stuff. So, all I’ve got to do is continue try to help our team win games.”
In the summer of 2017, Spencer Dinwiddie bought bitcoin at $3,000. Or maybe it was $4,000—who could keep it straight after a year of wild volatility and frenetic trades? Either way, his timing was impeccable—so good that it bothers him in retrospect. “If I woulda gone all-in, boy, I’d be loaded right now,” he says one day over lunch. “I’d be rolling in it.”
“If I knew I was going to make a trade and it would intersect with practice, I would set a super-strict sell stop,” he says, referring to a mechanism that will automatically sell an asset if it reaches a certain value on the market. He was serious about those automated moves; the crypto market may have gone wild, but Dinwiddie had to be meticulous. For him, this was not a series of digits moving randomly, inconsequentially across a screen; this was money. Dinwiddie was on a near-minimum contract, and it wasn’t clear if the next one would pay any better, or if it would arrive at all.
