Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie is trying to defy the norm while continuing to insist on making his contract a digital investment vehicle despite the NBA's objection. More specifically, Dinwiddie is trying to sell shares in his contract even though the league's collective bargaining agreement may prevent such an act in the end.
Nonetheless, it appears as though Dinwiddie will continue forward with his plan despite push back from the NBA.
“We were ready to open on the 14th but in the spirit of partnership, we are pushing it back a week to try and allow the NBA sufficient time to respond,” the Nets guard tweeted to begin a lengthy statement regarding such a matter. “Having been on the ground in China, we are sensitive to what the NBA has been dealing with.
“This is why we are giving them additional time as our goal is to partner. Regardless of the NBA’s position, we will move forward. Therefore we will launch on Oct. 21st, a week from our original date and before the start of the NBA season. Even with our desire to partner with the NBA, it is not necessary. And I want to be clear, this is not and never was an ‘assignment' nor am I in violation of the CBA. By definition an ‘assignment' would give fans rights towards the Nets/NBA.”
Despite Dinwiddie's persistence, the NBA has clearly stated the league's position regarding this situation while it remains to be seen as to how all of this unfolds.
