Mavericks signing Spencer Dinwiddie raises 8 burning questions immediately

The Dallas Mavericks made a big move to solidify their 15-man roster earlier this week as they signed Spencer Dinwiddie to a one-year deal. Dallas had been searching for more guard depth on the free agency market for some time, and they ended their search by signing Dinwiddie.

Dinwiddie was a big pickup for Dallas considering that he signed with the Mavs despite interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, and now he'll have the chance to play real minutes for Dallas during the season.

The Mavs needed a third creator badly, and that's exactly what Dinwiddie will bring and more.

Mavericks signing Spencer Dinwiddie raises 8 burning questions immediately

Last season for the Brooklyn Nets and Lakers, Dinwiddie averaged 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game while shooting 39.2 percent from the field and 33.7 percent from downtown. It wasn't the most efficient season for Dinwiddie, but being back in Dallas should help him get back to being his old self.

Dinwiddie thrived in Dallas during his first stint with the team, and Mavs fans are happy to have him back.

While Dinwiddie signing with the Mavs makes them considerably better, it also changes some things for the team. Here are eight main questions that the Dinwiddie signing by the Mavs creates immediately.

8. Where will Dinwiddie be in the Mavericks' rotation?

As evidenced by having one of the greatest duos in the NBA in Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, the Dallas Mavericks are loaded at the guard spot. While no one expects Dinwiddie to start for the Mavs going into next year, where he ends up in the rotation will definitely be a talking point going into next season.

Outside of Doncic and Irving, the Mavs have two other players who can run the offense when needed in Jaden Hardy and Dante Exum. While Hardy did have an up-and-down season last year, his performance in the Western Conference Finals showed promise.

Exum, on the other hand, was elite during the regular season but crumbled once the playoffs hit.

Dinwiddie will undoubtedly fight with Exum and Hardy for minutes, and if I had to predict where Dinwiddie will be in the rotation, I'd guess that he would be ahead of both of them.

I could see Dinwiddie being the first guard off Dallas' bench along with Quentin Grimes, and he'll have the chance to play big minutes right away if he has a good training camp. Dinwiddie is the best creator out of anyone else on the Mavs' bench, and he has the potential to return to his peak form with Dallas.
