Free agent point guard Spencer Dinwiddie<\/a> has agreed to sign a one-year contract with the Hornets, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"\"Charania\u2019s report doesn\u2019t include any salary details, but I\u2019d expect it\u2019ll be a veteran\u2019s minimum deal for Dinwiddie, who played for the minimum last season as well, as a member of the Mavericks.<\/p>\n

Dinwiddie, 32, played a more significant role than expected in Dallas due to the Luka Doncic<\/a> trade and a series of injuries affecting guards like Kyrie Irving<\/a> and Dante Exum<\/a>. He was one of the only Mavs players who made it through the season without dealing with any major health issues.<\/p>\n

In 79 games (30 starts), Dinwiddie averaged 11.0 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per night, with a shooting line of .416\/.334\/.802. All of those numbers were in the ballpark of his career rates.<\/p>\n

Charlotte entered the offseason with LaMelo Ball<\/a> as the only point guard on a guaranteed contract for next season and didn\u2019t address this position in last week\u2019s draft, but have been busy adding backcourt depth since then. The Hornets made a trade for combo guard Collin Sexton<\/a> and agreed to re-sign point guard Tre Mann<\/a> before also agreeing to terms with Dinwiddie.<\/p>\n

A report over the weekend<\/a> indicated that the Hornets were considering making a run at Chris Paul<\/a>, a North Carolina native, as they sought a veteran point guard. However, the 12-time All-Star wants to play as close to his home in Los Angeles as possible, prompting Charlotte to pivot to other targets and ultimately land on Dinwiddie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Free agent point guard Spencer Dinwiddie has agreed to sign a one-year contract with the Hornets, sources tell…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3777],"tags":[7,684,473,3878,685,6,5990],"class_list":{"0":"post-142723","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-charlotte-hornets","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-charlotte","10":"tag-charlotte-hornets","11":"tag-charlottehornets","12":"tag-hornets","13":"tag-nba","14":"tag-spencer-dinwiddie"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114786014632138101","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
