Spencer Dinwiddie is having a rough time with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The former Brooklyn Nets point guard was signed by LA during the deadline in an effort to improve the roster. However, Dinwiddie has been playing horribly for the Lakers so far. His latest game against the Phoenix Suns saw his shoot inefficiently from the field, scoring just three points.
After the game, Dinwiddie was the target of trolling by frustrated Lakers fans and other detractors. Many mocked the former Nets PG for his poor play for the famous franchise.
Ham with D’lo Austin Dinwiddie AND Prince out there is criminal.

Dinwiddie was signed by the Lakers around the time of the trade deadline. Prior to the signing, he was traded to the Toronto Raptors for Dennis Schroder, but was subsequently released. The team hoped that Dinwiddie would bring some much needed scoring and length from the point guard position, especially with D’Angelo Russell struggling occasionally. In theory, Dinwiddie would’ve been an excellent addition to the team.
