The Los Angeles Lakers, who remained silent throughout the trade deadline, added point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who is likely the finest player available for a buyout. The 10-year vet with playoff history made his Lakers debut today, and his team emerged victorious against the Pistons. Dinwiddie made his claim that LeBron James was the greatest player in the history of the NBA quickly.

Dinwiddie, who recently signed a contract with the Lakers following a buyout with the Toronto Raptors, said James’ influence impressed him both on and off the court. Even though Christian Wood made a joke about being the one to persuade his old buddy to join LA, he gave credit to LeBron for recruiting him. More significantly, though, he valued LeBron’s career and considered himself fortunate to play with a man of such quality.

Spencer Dinwiddie will have a $1 bonus if the Lakers win the NBA championship

A peculiar feature in Dinwiddie’s contract caused many people to squint in confusion. Dinwiddie will be eligible for a $1 bonus if his decision to join the Lakers results in a championship ring. However, under specific circumstances. The 30-year-old guard will trigger a very special bonus in his contract if his team surpasses their present 28-26 record and capture an 18th crown later this year.

Spencer Dinwiddie gave the reason for this weird condition. Via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, he said,

With my current placement in championships aspiring team, people are questioning, 'why a dollar?' However it represents more of the connection with my agent than any monetary value.

Dinwiddie claims that his prior contract included several win-related prizes, such as the $1,000 championship bonus. Many laughed when he finally got his deal with the Wizards. However, as a means of fostering their relationship, Dinwiddie and Glushon agreed to put this in any future contracts, if that was possible.
