Free agent Spencer Dinwiddie visited with Rob Pelinka, Lakers president of basketball operations, during the Lakers‘ win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
One day after the Lakers didn’t make a deal at the NBA’s trade deadline, the Lakers hosted one of the top available free agents in the hopes of adding him to their roster.
Guard Spencer Dinwiddie sat a few rows off the court with Lakers vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka to watch the Lakers beat New Orleans 139-122 Friday night.
Dinwiddie, who was traded to Toronto from Brooklyn and waived, met with his former organization, Dallas, Thursday in New York City.
His decision, one that could come as soon as Saturday, is between Dallas and the Lakers, according to people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly. Dinwiddie, 30, is from Los Angeles and his meeting with the Lakers left the team encouraged about the prospect of signing him.
