Spencer Dinwiddie and DeMar DeRozan Eye Future with Lakers
After a season of ups and downs, the Los Angeles Lakers are facing a period of reflection and potential roster changes. Spencer Dinwiddie, who joined the Lakers mid-season, played a significant but different role than he’s accustomed to, focusing on defense rather than scoring.
Dinwiddie, a seasoned guard, embraced his new responsibilities with the Lakers, contributing to the team’s defense and expressing a selfless attitude towards his role. Despite the shift not enhancing his career stats, Dinwiddie remains positive and is open to exploring his options in free agency. He has also indicated a desire to stay with the Lakers, though it’s unclear if the feeling is mutual.
In a similar vein, Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan, who hails from the Los Angeles area, has hinted at the possibility of playing for the Lakers someday. Both players’ futures with the team are uncertain, but their willingness to consider the Lakers as a home team is evident.
