Spencer Dinwiddie Declares Luka Doncic the Best Player in the NBA, Triggers Trade Rumors

“Who is the best player in the NBA?” is a highly contested question right now with many worthy contenders. When the same query was recently put to Spencer Dinwiddie, he declared that his former Dallas Mavericks teammate, Luka Doncic, is the best player in the league right now, according to his assessment. While this could have been just a shoutout or a sign of respect to Luka, Dinwiddie’s name being floated around in trade rumors recently has fans speculating that this might be a hint about a potential return to Dallas.

Dinwiddie is currently in China for the 361 DVD China Tour. During an interaction with reporters, he declared Luka to be the best player in the league. Dinwiddie also added that, in his opinion, the Mavs superstar should have won the MVP award last season.

The 31-year-old said, “The best player in the NBA right now, I think, he should’ve won the MVP this year, but he didn’t. I’mma go with Luka Doncic.” As soon as he mentioned Luka, the crowd erupted in a loud cheer.

Earlier this month, HoopsHype published a report on the possibility of Dinwiddie reuniting with Luka. According to Michael Scotto, the Mavs were looking to add Dinwiddie back to their roster. This consideration stems from them having leftover cap space after signing Klay Thompson. Even though it’s been weeks since the report came out and no major follow-through has happened, fans are taking the recent shoutout from Dinwiddie as a sign of what’s next to come.

One fan believes that Dinwiddie saying Luka is the best player in the league right now pretty much confirms his arrival in Dallas.
