Spencer Dinwiddie jokes about a return to the Detroit Pistons

Former Detroit Pistons draftee Spencer Dinwiddie recently jokes with fans about a potential return to the team on Twitter.

It’s been nearly six years since the Detroit Pistons drafted Spencer Dinwiddie in 2014, and since then he’s found a new home with the Brooklyn Nets. One where he’s found a heavily involved role and seen great success.

However, that didn’t stop him from sending fans into a frenzy last night when talking about his next potential stop in free agency.

Dinwiddie, who won’t become a free agent again until 2021 at the earliest, was engaged in several conversations regarding Bitcoin. As a noted cryptocurrency user, this is a common occurrence on Dinwiddie’s account.

After saying (jokingly?) that he’d need 1,000 Bitcoin in order to delete his social media accounts, he doubled down;

For those who aren’t familiar with the exchange rate on the ever fluctuating Bitcoin, 2625.9 is the equivalent of $24.7 million.

The tweet that followed was a poll that had four options on it. The Nets, the Western Conference, the Eastern Conference, and.. the Pistons. Fans immediately rubbed their eyes in disbelief, there’s no way he actually listed Detroit as an option. But, he did.

Dinwiddie was already a member of the Pistons once, back when he was drafted here in 2014. However, after falling back in the rotation behind Reggie Jackson and Steve Blake, he was subsequently traded to the Chicago Bulls in 2016.

He never had a chance to shine in Detroit, and fans have always been bitter over it. For good reason too.

After playing a remarkable stretch of basketball for the Nets this season in the absence of Kyrie Irving, there was a legitimate chance that he wound up becoming an All-Star. Although he didn’t he still had a good year.

He averaged 20.6 points and 6.8 assists per game on 41.5 percent shooting.

As for the results of the poll, Pistons fans have done their duty and Detroit actually holds the lead with 42 percent of the vote. However, not only was Dinwiddie likely kidding, but there must be something in the CBA that prohibits crowdfunding for players to determine their next team.

Could he actually return? Maybe. It’s all in good fun, and provides us with some fun speculation during this ongoing hiatus.
