Dinwiddie, 28, played just three games with the Nets in 2020 before he suffered a season-ending ACL tear. The year before that in 2019-20, the veteran guard averaged a career-high 20.6 points and 6.8 assists per game.
Slated to be part of a crowded backcourt with 2020 additions James Harden and Kyrie Irving, Dinwiddie declined his $12.3 million player option with the Nets earlier this offseason and became an unrestricted free agent.
The 2025 swap will be for the better of Golden State's second round pick – which Brooklyn controls – and Washington's second round pick, a league source tells ESPN. https://t.co/cyLJO4h7by

With the departure of former Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook last week, Dinwiddie should serve as a solid backcourt replacement alongside All-Star shooting guard Bradley Beal.
Dinwiddie and Beal are close friends and have reportedly been expressing interest in playing alongside each other.
