In interview with Howard Beck of Sports Illustrated, Spencer Dinwiddie laid out what it would take for him to resign with Brooklyn. Dinwiddie told Beck that if the Nets offer him $125 million over five years, there would be a “high likelihood that I go back to the Nets.”
Dinwiddie, who opted out of his $12.3 million player option last month, spoke to Beck about a broad-range of issues in an interview that will post Friday. Beck released the section on his possible future with the Nets over Twitter on Thursday.
In the clip promoted by Beck, Dinwiddie essentially says the ball is in the Nets court mainly because they hold his Bird Rights and sign him to a contract that would run for five years instead of four and with higher year-to-year raises than other teams can offer.
