13. Spencer Dinwiddie

Last season, the Dallas Mavericks turned their season around at the trade deadline. The Mavs were having a decent season, but there clearly needed to be some change.

Dallas made two huge moves, acquiring P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford, and they ended up having an open roster spot due to sending out more players than they brought back in.

The Mavs quickly showed interest in Spencer Dinwiddie on the buyout market, but he ended up signing with the Los Angeles Lakers instead. Dallas got their payback this summer as Dinwiddie signed a one-year deal with the Mavs and chose Dallas over Los Angeles, and fans aren't completely sure what Dinwiddie the Mavs are going to get.

Is Dallas going to get the player who started next to Luka Doncic and helped lead them to the Western Conference Finals in 2022, or is he going to struggle as he did for some of his stint with the Lakers?

The answer to that question remains unknown, and with Dinwiddie being on a one-year veteran minimum contract, his trade value isn't going to be high. Any team in the NBA could have signed him in free agency, and the Mavs got him for an absolute steal.

Dinwiddie could be in the running for the first guard off the bench for the Mavs depending on how training camp and the preseason go, and if Dinwiddie balls out for Dallas, his trade value could increase ahead of the trade deadline in February of next year.
