“#Steve Nash doesn’t want Nets to trade Spencer Dinwiddie<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Amid trade speculation, Spencer Dinwiddie received a glowing endorsement from his new Nets coach Steve Nash.<\/p>\n

Though rumors of Rockets star James Harden wanting out of Houston \u2014 and having a preference for Brooklyn \u2014 continue to run rampant, it\u2019s likely that Dinwiddie would have to be on the table if such negotiations ever came to fruition. And considering Dinwiddie could exercise his player option to become a free agent at the end of this season, the 27-year-old is someone the Nets have to be wary of.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Nash believes the versatility Dinwiddie brings to the Nets is too valuable to give away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m heavy voting towards not trading Spencer, and I think the front office feels the same way,\u201d Nash said on a Zoom call Wednesday. \u201cIt\u2019s a unique situation because he\u2019s a free agent at the end of the year, but we all love him, and we know it\u2019d be very difficult to do better than Spencer in a trade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dinwiddie was expected to play a sixth-man role last season, but instead he enjoyed a career year as a starter in wake of significant injuries to Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert. He averaged roughly 21 points and seven assists per game<\/a>, while also becoming one of the notable personalities in the league with his plan to turn part of his contract into a digital investment vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s an outstanding basketball player, high IQ, has a good feel for the game,\u201d Nash said. \u201cHe\u2019s an outstanding athlete, and he\u2019s skilled. He\u2019s a big point guard who can play off the ball, can play multiple positions, can make plays for his teammates and can score. So you\u2019ve seen it in the past. He\u2019s played heavy loads for this team, so he gives us a lot of versatility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of gaps to fill around Kevin [Durant] and Ky, and he can fill a number of them \u2014 whether he\u2019s creating plays for them or whether he\u2019s spotting up or he\u2019s taking on defensive assignments. It\u2019s a joy to have a player like that with that much talent and versatility in our lineup. So I love him, and I just want to try to maximize his usage.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a possibility the Nets are simply looking to up Dinwiddie\u2019s trade value. High praise from a Hall of Fame point guard can easily do that.<\/p>\n

But the reality for Dinwiddie is that between Irving\u2019s return from his pesky shoulder injury, Durant\u2019s return from his Achilles tendon surgery and LeVert\u2019s continued rise to stardom, his role with the team will likely diminish.<\/p>\n

\n

Nash doesn\u2019t have a set-in-stone lineup yet but said the coaching staff has experimented with several different combinations to invoke a competitive balance throughout the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t tell you what\u2019s going to happ<\/a>en to the rotations yet, there\u2019s a lot of competition for spots and minutes which is a positive as well,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough on a coach but it\u2019s positive for our group and program. They\u2019re gaining connectivity which I always preach that familiarity that chemistry\u2019s coming, and so that\u2019s something where I\u2019ll say a few days in I\u2019ve been really positive and excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In light of the NBA announcing that its dress code would be more casual this season, Nash said he expects to go with the polo look going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m clearly not a fashionista,\u201d Nash said. \u201cI\u2019m not a big polo guy because I feel like my dad, but I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be in polos most of the time because I think the league\u2019s going casual. I don\u2019t think there will be a lot of sports coats.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think once they made it casual it will be a precedence to all be in the same ballpark, not one team in suits, the other team business casual. I imagine wearing that casual outfit. I have no idea how it\u2019s gonna come off, but I suppose we\u2019ll be comfortable.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
