Spencer Dinwiddie is expecting that his plan to monetize a portion of his contract into a digital investment vehicle will function with approval of the NBA and the NBPA. While he's aware that some will surely object to it, the Brooklyn Nets guard is confident they won't have any legal ground to stop him from doing so.

Dinwiddie is basically selling bonds in himself to raise funds with advances of his own contract money. The NBPA did not comment on his decision to do so, but there have quickly been a number of questions that could leave the Nets guard facing some deep scrutiny from the league, even if he isn't really anticipating it:

“What are they going to do, try and stop me? I mean, they could try,” Dinwiddie told Brian Lewis of the New York Post. “Then they’d have to have legal standing to do so. Do you really want to do that? Because wouldn’t that be bad PR for them to do that? I would think. Then I’d start to look like [Colin] Kaepernick.

“Nothing I’m doing is illegal. I know there’s a lot of misinformation out there, like I’m trying to create a currency or something. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel and create a new bitcoin; this is different. … I will say this, though: It solves some of the league’s fan engagement issue. It does do that.”

Dinwiddie is pioneering a style of money management that could catch on if approved, opening up a Pandora's box for other players who are fond of entrepreneurship ventures such as his — yet that won't come without its fair share of resistance from the league.
