Most NBA players give open-ended answers when asked about their future. But Spencer Dinwiddie of the Brooklyn Nets gave the perfect answer by laying out his plans in the future — whether it be in Brooklyn or someplace else.
Per Michael Scotto of The Athletic, the 25-year-old Dinwiddie admitted that he wants to be with the Nets for a long time. But he acknowledged that there's a possibility that he'll be an unrestricted free agent, and therefore, hinted at other teams he's willing to suit up for:
“‘I would love to have an extension. I would love to be here for a long time. If I don't get an extension, then I'll be looking forward to unrestricted free agency and going through the season and trying to help the Nets win games as much as possible'
Simultaneously, I know you guys will say that it's an audition for 29 other teams — 28 depending on how you look at Detroit, maybe 27 depending upon how you look at Chicago (smiles). So, it is what it is.”
Check out the full quote below, where Dinwiddie offered more thoughts about the possibility of an extension. He quipped that people will find out soon whether he'll stay with the Nets long-term or not, adding that the exact amount of the contract will be made public, and therefore people will know how much money he has.
