10. Spencer Dinwiddie

Since leaving the Bulls, Spencer Dinwiddie has found a home playing for the Brooklyn Nets. Dinwiddie made it official earlier this past season by signing a 3-year, $34.4 million contract extension, which includes a player option for the final year.

Dinwiddie’s stint in the Windy City may have been short, but it was memorable enough to note.

The Bulls originally picked up Dinwiddie in a 2016 trade sending big man Cameron Bairstow to the Detroit Pistons. The move was a welcomed change by many accounts.

At 6 feet and 6 inches, Dinwiddie provided length at the point guard position, something the Bulls’ organization thought highly of. Not to forget to mention, the Bulls offered him a 2-year, $2.03 million contract.

It wasn’t long before the Bulls waived Dinwiddie to make room on the roster for another point guard, Michael Carter-Williams. If there’s one knock against the Bulls, it’s the fact that the organization did not keep Dinwiddie around long enough. What makes it worse is Carter-Williams didn’t factor into the Bulls’ plans beyond the 2016-2017 season. What’s more is Dinwiddie was in the running during this past season to be named the league’s Most Improved Player until he got set back by injury, requiring him to undergo surgery to repair ligaments in his right thumb.

Dinwiddie will become an unrestricted free agent in 2022.
