Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie becomes an unrestricted free agent next offseason and he could get over $81 million.

According to Brian Lewis of The New York Post, the feeling in league circles is that Dinwiddie could exceed Josh Hart’s four-year, $81 million contract with the New York Knicks.

Dinwiddie is averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists for the Nets this season while shooting 40.9% from the field, 35.3% from beyond the arc and 80.3% from the free-throw line. He’s fourth on the team in points per game.

“Anything in life, if you’re dedicated to it and open and humble enough for it, then you learn and you evolve with every experience,” Dinwiddie said. “It’s like a little baby computer. It’s going to take in information and try to continue to learn and grow. Just wisdom of age, right?”

The Nets are 10-9 on the season. They have been banged up, so the entire group has had to step up.

“This reminds me of when we were 8-18 in 2018 and went on that 9-1 streak and ended up making the playoffs,” Dinwiddie said. “During that 9-1 streak, the plus-minus and the impact on the game and the advanced stats pointed to somebody having an extreme impact on that 10-game stretch, even though sometimes we have revisionist history on that season and what saved that season. So it looks very familiar to that. But this is a collective effort and we’re excited to be able to be in the hunt, be in the fight with everybody that’s been hurt.”

The Nets can sign Dinwiddie to a four-year, $128 million extension. The veteran would become an unrestricted free agent if an extension wasn’t reached.
