Monday we reacted to the weekend signing of guard Spencer Dinwiddie. Today, it's a deeper dive into what exactly Dinwiddie can bring to the Lakers, with Adam Armbrecht, host of Locked on Nets and a man present for both of Dinwiddie's stints in Brooklyn.

He's a guy with tremendous variance in his output, often seemingly tied to the context in which he's playing. Is it an environment where winning is an option? Is he surrounded by players that can enhance his skill set, and limit his usage to appropriate levels (therefore boosting efficiency)?

Are the Lakers, right now, that kind of team?

Armbrecht answers those questions, and more, breaking down what kind of defender Dinwiddie can be as well. How might he fit with a Lakers backcourt that has struggled, particularly at the point of attack? Dinwiddie doesn't have much of a reputation on that side of the ball, but is that entirely fair? What are his strengths and weaknesses, and how might they be revealed on a team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis?

It's a great breakdown of a critical addition for the team as it heads into the All Star break.

Plus, what exactly kept those other rumored deals with Brooklyn (Dorian Finney-Smith? Royce O'Neale?) from happening?
