on Sunday for a package centered around Spencer Dinwiddie, a longtime Nets fan favorite. They also got Dorian Finney-Smith and draft picks, while creating trade exceptions.

Currently Dinwiddie is averaging 17.7 points and 5.3 assists in a borderline All-star campaign. His shooting splits are a solid .455/.405/.821, and now the 6-foot-6 guard slots back into the Nets’ starting backcourt alongside the currently injured Ben Simmons to give them a pair of long-armed disruptors. Dorian Finney-Smith is a 6-foot-7, 220-pounder who is averaging 9.1 points, 4.76 rebounds and can play either forward spot.
The Nets, who exhausted draft assets in that deal for Harden, will receive an unprotected 2029 first-round selection and 2027 and 2029 second-rounders. They will also create $5 million and $1.8 million trade exceptions — as well as $28 million in luxury-tax savings.NY Post Illustration
