You probably didn’t expect a Kyle Kuzma vs. Spencer Dinwiddie battle on your timeline this morning, but here we are.
Dinwiddie has some issues with Kuzma and wasn’t shy about speaking on FanDuel’s TV “Run it Back” with Michelle Beadle via Bleacher Report.
While speaking to Michelle Beadle on Run It Back, Dinwiddie was asked about his longstanding beef with Kuzma and he didn’t hold back.
“You know that you’re there shooting shots to try to get a contract. You’re probably not even a third star really on a good team because if you were the Lakers would have kept you,” Dinwiddie declared.
The veteran point guard was referring to when the Lakers included Kuzma in a trade package to the Washington Wizards in exchange for star point guard Russell Westbrook prior to the 2021-22 season. Kuzma has since responded in a lengthy Twitter thread blasting Dinwiddie.

Now a member of the Brooklyn Nets, Dinwiddie was teammates with Kuzma briefly while he was on the Wizards before being traded to the Dallas Mavericks midway through the 2021-22 campaign. Their feud began earlier this year when Dinwiddie said after the Mavs suffered a one-point loss to the Wizards, “They’re over there trying to get paid, not trying to play winning basketball.”
Kuzma, who is expected to decline his $13 million player option to test the waters as a free agent this summer, didn’t take kindly to the comment and responded on Twitter:
Kuzma spoke out about Dinwiddie wanting to get paid in crypto, which has lost many players’ money over the years.
Spencer Dinwiddie is planning to turn his three-year, $34.36 million extension with the Brooklyn Nets into a digital investment vehicle, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The guard first agreed to the extension in December after making less than $2 million during each of his first five seasons in the NBA.
With this securitization, Dinwiddie would receive a smaller payment in a lump sum, which would then allow him to immediately invest in a bond that exists as a digital currency.
The 26-year-old would be starting his own company in order to facilitate this type of deal.
No word of Dinwiddie has made or lost money in this investment.
