Spencer Dinwiddie goes all in on his beef with Kyle Kuzma.

Spencer Dinwiddie is currently preparing for the NBA Playoffs with his Brooklyn Nets. However, that didn't stop the Brooklyn star from having a moment to discuss a beef. Dinwiddie appeared on FanDuel TV and, during his segment, talked about his heat with Kyle Kuzma. Kuzma was a former teammate of Dinwiddie's in Washington. But the term teammate wouldn't describe their current relationship. Dinwiddie didn't hide his true feelings toward his former teammate.

“You’re probably not even a third star really on a good team, because if you were the Lakers probably would have kept you.” That statement is a huge shot at Kuzma and his abilities. Dinwiddie went on further by saying it doesn't make sense how the Wizards miss the playoffs this season. His reasoning was simple. A team with three max contract players shouldn't miss the playoffs. Especially when a team like the Nets could fight their way in after trading two max stars.

Spencer Dinwiddie Doesn't Hide His Feelings

Dinwiddie also seems to believe Kuzma doesn't have the correct mindset on his career. The Nets guard mentions that maybe the off-the-court lifestyle is more interesting to Kuzma than his time on the court. The shot about the Lakers not keeping Kuzma definitely feels like salt in the wounds. As the Lakers punched their playoff ticket on Tuesday night with a win over Minnesota. Kuzma has been seen in public news cycles more than on a sports page over his career. However, Kuzma did have Jazz fans irate with his recent comments on Lauri Markkanen. Markkanen will travel back to Finland to complete the country's mandatory military duties.

The Spencer Dinwiddie-Kyle Kuzma drama has seemingly taken another twist. Kuzma has yet to reply to Dinwiddie's comments. However, I'm sure the Wizards forward will have something to say about Dinwiddie's statements. But for now, Dinwiddie will focus on his team's playoff aspirations. What are your thoughts on Dinwiddie's comments directed at Kuzma? Should the two let this beef go and move on? Give us your thoughts on the situation in the comment section.
