Dinwiddie: Wood recruited me to the Lakers? No, I'd rather credit to James Huang

News on February 13, on February 13, Lakers player Dinwiddie was interviewed after training and joked about the reason why he joined the Lakers, he said that he may be a little affected by Wood, but he joined the Lakers definitely because of James.

A few days ago, free agent Dinwiddie officially joined the Lakers, and he came to the Lakers training base to sign with Lakers general manager Pelinka. It is reported that Dinwiddie's contract is $1.55 million, and if the Lakers win the championship, he can get an additional reward of $1.

It is worth mentioning that Dinwiddie rejected the Mavericks' offer of $5.3 million and chose to join the Lakers with a base salary.

After Dinwiddie confirmed his move to the Lakers, Lakers player Wood once posted an Instagram post to welcome Dinwiddie: "My recruitment worked... I'm supposed to be a general manager, welcome to the Lakers @Dinwiddie. ”

Wood and Dinwiddie were teammates with the Mavericks during the 2022-23 season, and he thinks his recruitment of old teammates has paid off.

At today's post-training press conference, a reporter asked about this, and Dinwiddie smiled and quipped, "Hey, what are you talking about? How do I give this credit to Wood? If I do, I'll give credit to LeBron James for recruitment." ”

The reporters laughed when they heard this.

Dinwiddie said Pelinka was the first to call. It is said that this is "a childhood dream come true".

Dinwiddie also explained why he chose the Lakers over the Mavericks: "Let's say you're a kid and you're getting punched in the ass. The Lone Ranger will be like your mom and say, "It's okay, baby. ” ...... The Lakers are like your father: 'No, you'd better go out and fight until you win.' ’

Dinwiddie said he was very comfortable as a catch-and-shoot three-point shooter, for example, when he played with Luka Doncic, he did well, but his dribble shooting was not very efficient. Playing with LeBron and Bushy Eyebrows can increase the chance of catching and shooting

In this regard, netizens said, "It means that no one will say that the Mavericks are not playing well, and the Lakers will continue to spur"

"You are speaking with high emotional intelligence, and low emotional intelligence is that Lakers fans are strict"

"How can you talk like cephalosporin?"

"I think what it means is that the Lakers are more challenging, and going back to the Mavericks might be going back to Gentleness, but it also means that there's no chance to prove yourself, there's no chance to be reused, and the Lakers give themselves another chance to show themselves to the world."

"Understood, the Lakers Clippers are husband and wife, so please let the wife give Irving to her husband"

"If you don't play well in the Lakers, you will be scolded, so that you can better motivate yourself. ”
