Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie’s plan to convert his $34.4 million contract into a digital investment vehicle has caused a stir, and a lot of curiosity about how exactly it would work. As we reported on Monday, the NBA and Dinwiddie scheduled a meeting together after the league objected to his plan and raised concerns.
