        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fans will finally get the chance to decide where a player goes – if they are willing to pay up.</p><p>Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie started <strong>a GoFundMe page</strong> Friday with the stated goal of raising 2625.8 bitcoins, which is equivalent to $24,632,600. If that figure is met, Dinwiddie says he will play on a one-year contract on a minimum salary of the team the fans choose. Otherwise, he will donate all the money to charity.</p><p>Dinwiddie is under contract next year, but could opt out and become a free agent next summer. It is unclear how fans would determine his next destination.</p><p>“Shoe companies and endorsers influence team decisions all the time,” <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1261478418555777024" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">he told The Athletic</a>. “My/our biggest endorsers will always be the fans, so I want to have some fun with this while we’re all under quarantine. I hope no team owners/personnel participate so there’s no impropriety on this one of a kid endorsement deal.”</p><p>It would seem this is mostly in jest. Dinwiddie is active on social media platforms and has looked to get fans involved before. In the fall, <strong>he wanted to monetize his current three-year, $35 million contract</strong> by allowing fans to buy bonds in his future earnings. The league said he wasn’t allowed to do so, and is currently reviewing the tokenizing of Dinwiddie&#8217;s contract. It’s unclear if this new idea would violate the collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the player’s union.</p><p>Dinwiddie, who was a second-round pick of the Pistons out of Colorado in 2014, is an NBA success story. The 27-year-old is a G League product who has blossomed with the Nets. Dinwiddie was averaging career-highs of 20.6 points and 6.8 assists when the season was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>As of Saturday afternoon, the campaign had raised a little more than $800.</p>]]></content:encoded>
