Mavericks eying Spencer Dinwiddie, Dennis Smith
The Dallas Mavericks have considered bringing one of two former guards back to the team, Spencer Dinwiddie and Dennis Smith Jr, league sources told HoopsHype. Should Dinwiddie and Smith Jr. land elsewhere, Malachi Flynn is also on Dallas’ radar, HoopsHype has learned. Flynn scored a career-high 50 points last season with Detroit

DSJ or Dinwiddie seem like they could help.
It likely won’t really work like this, but if I had my pick (they very rarely ask me) I’d go with DSJ for the defense but I enjoyed Dinwiddie’s time here too.
It’ll be a very different team than either one of them left. – 12:08 AM

The Heat do what they do and have far better insight into the landscape, but on a day they signed Thomas Bryant and Alec Burks, it seemed Dario Saric and Dennis Smith Jr. would have been an intriguing play. (But again, Heat front office far more of aware of what it might take.) – 6:51 PM

Magic Johnson: For the Lakers to have any chance to beat the Nuggets this time around, the guards have to bring their A-game. Last year, the Nuggets’ guard trio of Bruce Brown, KCP, and Jamal Murray were dominant!
