9. Spencer Dinwiddie

Spencer Dinwiddie is actually one of the most interesting free agents heading into the summer. Even though he’s coming off somewhat of a disappointing season, in which injury cut his year short, he still should be in for a pretty big payday.

When he was healthy, though, he was extremely productive for the Nets two years ago. And that is partly what will help him secure a nice deal this offseason.

Interesting enough, this is kind of the drop-off when it comes to free agents. There’s no question that Dinwiddie is a good player and that perhaps he can still improve overall. However, this is where the reluctance will come from many teams in the pursuit of free agents.

You kind of want to add a player as talented as anybody but you also don’t want to pay him what he’s likely going to demand on the open market and this is a dilemma that many teams are going to have to face this summer when it comes to Dinwiddie.

Prediction: Chicago Bulls
