Dallas Mavericks aren't done with their roster moves according to rumors

The Dallas Mavericks are taking chances at making roster moves at the deadline. After trading for two frontcourt players, the team looks to address their backcourt strength. According to rumors, the Mavs are eyeing a former player in Spencer Dinwiddie.

Dinwiddie was recently traded by the Brooklyn Nets to the Toronto Raptors for Dennis Schroder and Thaddeus Young. Following this move, the 6-foot-6 point guard was waived by the Raptors to avoid a $1.5M upcoming contract bonus for games played.

With Dinwiddie becoming a free agent, contending teams who are looking to strengthen their backcourt will have an option to sign him. The Mavs have been rumored to pursue the point guard among other contending teams like the LA Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and New Orleans Pelicans.

The veteran guard is expected to be in touch with the rumored teams, NBA insider Shams Charania detailed. Dinwiddie fell out of the Nets' rotation this season, causing his numbers to drop. In 48 games played, he averaged 12.6 points, 3.3 and 6.0 assists.

If the Mavs pursue Dinwiddie, it will be his second stint with the team. He played 23 games for Dallas when he was traded from the Washington Wizards in the 2021-22 season. Dinwiddie then played 53 games last season before he was traded to the Nets for Kyrie Irving.
