And the Nets could engage in sign-and-trade talks using Spencer Dinwiddie. Reportedly, the Nets were engaged in talks at the deadline with the Warriors that would have sent the point guard to Golden State for Kelly Oubre and to Los Angeles and the Lakers for Kyle Kuzma. Per Bobby Marks in an ESPN+ analysis Sunday morning… A sign-and-trade deal with a team that doesn’t have significant cap space is an option, but that would require Brooklyn to take back salary in the trade, adding to an already high luxury tax bill. Brooklyn has a projected $53.4 million tax bill and would see that number double if the Nets took back $12 million in salary.

Although he played in only three games, Dinwiddie hasn’t suffered any setbacks in his rehab process and is one of the top point guards available in free agency this offseason. Before suffering the injury in late December, he was coming off a 2019-20 where he averaged a career high 20.6 points and 6.8 assists. According to ProFitX, he outplayed his $9.9 million contract in that season by $17 million. Dinwiddie’s options could be tied to the futures of Kyle Lowry and Dennis Schroder. If the two players sign with Miami and Chicago for example, Dinwiddie could be staring at the Knicks as the only team that has both cap space and a need at point guard.

The Los Angeles Lakers did not renew head athletic trainer Nina Hsieh's contract, sources told ESPN.
Hsieh, who had been with the organization for over a decade, was promoted to the role two years ago. Hsieh replaced Marco Nunez in 2019.
Lakers players missed 201 games this season. LeBron James missed 26 out of the team's last 30 games, with Anthony Davis sitting out 36 games.
More changes are expected as the Lakers seek to restructure their approach to player heath.
