Spencer Dinwiddie is keeping the meme going.
Bobby Marks of ESPN reported Sunday that the new Los Angeles Lakers guard Dinwiddie has an interesting incentive in his contract with the team. In addition to Dinwiddie’s $1.55 million base salary from the Lakers (the remaining portion of their non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception), he will receive a bonus if the team wins the NBA title. A bonus of a whopping $1.
If that incentive sounds familiar for Dinwiddie, that is because it is. He also had the exact same clause written into his contract with a previous team.
The Lakers, who are sitting at ninth in the West at 28-26 on the year, can rest easy knowing they will probably be able to save their dollar. But at the same time, the franchise should be thankful that Dinwiddie didn’t push for one of his other unusual contract ideas of old.
