Dennis was part of those players that haven't got a contract, and he is just lucky that the Lakers have signed him up again and definitely, he still wanted to play in the NBA so he accept it although he could have been more than that a year or two ago.

And this is another lesson for those players that if they have been offered a good contract, no need to price themselves up because it might bite them in the ass.

Might be interesting though to see him with Westbrook on the floor or even Pat Beverly, not sure if there will be chemistry issues or not.
I'd choose another agent if I were him.
He is called a veteran in every article that I read. Schroder is just 29 years old.  Cheesy

Why would they accept this kind of contract while Eurobasket is not even over yet and they will be trying for the Bronze medal?
If they win it, there's a chance his value could increase more and his agent didn't even wait for that moment. I think they just waited if they could win against Spain and if they do they will try to increase his value. That's some stupid decision.
Obviously, the Lakers do want him because he is a good player but I am sad they accepted a cheap price.

Can the Lakers still offer Dennis with that same amount?

I think he is a legit player, he can even lead a team, it's just that he was too ambitious and ended up losing a big offer. If he will be given a chance, I think he will be a big help for the Lakers to be more competitive this season.

Yes, that's possible but for me, low chance.

There might be an increase in the contract extension if he plays well but not maybe close to what has been offered to him before. Never heard of him doing a spectacular performance on other teams after Los Angeles Lakers.

He is now more of a pure role player and not the main guy that can carry a team.

One year is enough for him to prove himself, make a good contribution and maybe help the Lakers reach the NBA finals again, I think he will get the reward he deserves.

That's the only way to rise again. After rejecting the Lakers' $84 Million Contract, Dennis Schroder was signed by the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets but unfortunately, he wasn't able to make a buzz at these teams that's why he ended up in a low contract.

There's no even team that shows interest in signing him and he should be thankful that even if he leaves the Lakers, the team still signed him. He just needs to show what he got. Even if Schroder comes back as a Lakers with a new coach and new teammates, he shouldn't be able to struggle in building chemistry with his teammates.

Well, that's life. Dennis Schroder should have now learned his lesson. Nothing wrong to expect a good offer from other teams once he becomes an unrestricted free agent but he should really lower his expectations. The Lakers are always open to giving a player a good contract as long as they see them as a worthy player to keep. He just to bring back his A+ performance and who knows Lakers might offer him a good contract extension next season.

Going back to his expected role for the Lakers, I'm expecting him to be a good backup point guard for Russell Westbrook if won't be traded this season.

I don't know what's on Dennis Schroder's mind now. It's hard to sleep when he will always remember that good contract before by the Lakers that he rejected because he thinks there are other teams that will offer him more than that. He thinks that because he has good stats he will be noticed by other teams.

With his current contract, that was almost the same contract for a retiring player when in fact, he is just 29 years old and still young.

Greed is really sometimes not good.

I hope he is still happy now, at least he still has a contract, better than nothing.

We will never forget that huge amount he rejected, but that's life mate, Dennis does not see the future and he was expecting that he will get good offers because he believes he is really a superstar.

He learn his mistakes, can't bring back the time, at least he still have  one year to stay and make a living in the NBA. He is still very young, and maybe after this season and when his contract expires with the Lakers, there will be another team that is going to get his services as a PG.

And to be fair, when he is with the Lakers, he had a good stint with them that's why he was offered a good salary that unfortunately, he turn it down.

Or Maybe he still has a chance to prove his worth again, who knows, the Lakers might offer him again the same amount that he decline before. He is still young IMO, still has a lot to offer, and based on his performance when he was still a Lakers, I think he would fit the team.

One year is enough for him to prove himself, make a good contribution and maybe help the Lakers reach the NBA finals again, I think he will get the reward he deserves.

Nothing that he can do now, maybe if he will play his best and Lakers management sees him deserves an additional year.

Maybe, just maybe, on his next offer, they can give him something better than this one-year deal. For the Lakers bring him back
there might be a chance on him to make on his previous mistake, if he will deliver what the team needed from him, for sure
lakers will negotiate and give him another good deal, but yeah, $84M was already gone with the wind.

He played well with his stint with the Lakers but that was a different roster and now, some of the role players of the Lakers are already traded into another team.

A 4-year $84M deal to him will not happen or at least if the Lakers will give him another contract, it will not as huge as their previous offer to him. What's done is done I guess but I just hope that he learned a lesson from his past decision. He wanted a higher offer but in the end, he ended up earning way less than what he's supposed to earn. If he will play with the Lakers pretty well and if he will have a huge impact with the improvement of the Lakers this upcoming season (of course if they will improve), chances of him giving a better contract will be better and who knows, they might give him again another 4-year $84M contract again Cheesy. His addition to the team overall is good knowing that he is a good point guard.

Because of the system of the Lakers, it was Westbrook who resulted not perform well, people based his previous stats and the current stats with the Lakers and they saw a big drop, so it's normal for them to think that Westbrook is not fit with the Lakers. If it's really the coach that is the problem, then we can assume that Westbrook will be back with great stats this new season.

Pretty much I think that the Lakers is not needing a 2nd super scorer at the moment and because Russell Westbrook is not performing well, he surely will be the eye for the blame in not getting near any championship, and right now the Laker have signed a young 29 years old guard Dennis Schröder, he is now back on the Lakers I think the Lakers have done this because they really needed players on defense and for this, I think Russell Westbrook really needs to think twice and because he is stubborn it is better to just quit his basketball career, 


I agree that it shouldn't be the eye only to him but also to the others as well. But as the eye centers on Westbrook, it's because he's a star player and expectations to him are way up the highest than of those other players on the roster of the Lakers.
The coaching staff? I don't think that there's anything to do with it, well if there is then that's very minimal and little to be considered. Otherwise, they really have to rotate and make decisions wisely for this upcoming season in almost everything where they've fell apart.

Yup! I know we can not put all the blame on Russell Westbrook and the other players that are worst performing than him, but we can not compare Russell Westbrook to the young new players of the Lakers because Westbrook has landed on the Lakers despite his age because they surely hoping for Westbrook to perform well and they are expecting great things to happen because he is a superstar and Russell Westbrook not performing well because he is not in his prime anymore given the fact that they are paying him so much but he can not deliver on that amount that he is getting, for me the blame will surely all goes to him,

Looks like the Lakers are into Guards these days and it was stated in this report that even if they add more role players, that wouldn't mean much if their main players will not be healthy like James and Davis. Schroder's performance in the Eurobasket and last season with the Rockets was spectacular and I think signing him is a good addition to take Westbrook's lapses in the backcourt, they got PatBev too that may help the defensive end.

I don’t think they would have picked up Dennis and Pat if they were keeping Russ. This news along with Westbrook putting his house up for sale makes me think that a deal is already in place and now they’re just working out the details. Since Westbrook is already privy to this information I would assume it involves some sort of buyout or sign and trade. I think we’ll find out in the next 2 weeks what the real story is.
Pretty sure the selling of the house already says the news. The Lakers are moving on and Westbrook will be on another team when the season begins. I'm sure whomever is thinking about taking him will be looking to utilize him as a bench player.
Yeah, but there are no leaks yet about what team is willing to pay on a large amount of contract Westbrook has.
A buyout is the only option that I see because if ever there is a meeting that happens I am sure the media will sniff the details.
Schroder, Pat, WB. Man, I cannot even imagine how they can build chemistry with those three players.

I am sad about how much money Schroder is getting now after turning down a good contract on the same team he signed now after the bubble.
From $84 million 4 years contract to 2.64M. Way too far.

He totally regret his decision since he just waste his huge contract before and now he get back on lakers with disappointing $2.64m dollars in contract. I'm sure Pelinka is now laughing because he get Schroder at the most cheapest price which is total steal to them. And now for sure Schroder cannot get the $84m contract because at the moment his career seems to be doomed by that mistake.

Nothing that he can do now, maybe if he will play his best and Lakers management sees him deserves an additional year.

What the hell happened here lol?

Dennis Schroder might be in regret now his decision before when the Lakers offered him $84 million over four years and now accepting a one-year contract worth $2.64 million. That's what happened when a player is truly believed in himself. He thinks that $84 million for 4 years is not worth his performance. that's why he rejected the offer. There's even no team that likes to spend money on him on that contract price but only the Lakers.

With his current status, I don't see him getting a chance in the future to get a decent contract again. Arrogant player. Smiley

Weird case for Dennis again, after he rejected a huge contract with the Lakers and then saying its' not about the money, and it's who he plays, then he comebacks to play with the Lakers again.

Pat Bev will not do the point guard chores and I don't think that we will see him and Russ or Dennis on the floor at the same time. Pat's main job is to be the defender that he is. So most likely Russ or Dennis at the PG position and then Pat inserted along the way to guard even taller players like KD before.

That would have make some sense but it's best to wait until the trade or announcement is really there. Don't know what will be the drama again that will came up with this trade for Russ, I think I'm seeing multiple team trade deal here again, maybe Pacers or Jazz are willing once again. We may never know, almost everyday there are surprises.

That's what I think as well when I first saw the post in Facebook saying that Westbrook's house is being sold but at the end of the day, this will remain as a rumor until there is no confirmed trade that happened, but which team is interested in him? That's the one question that I'm curious with if he will be traded.

Schroder is among the list of Oladipo and other players who rejected a huge offer and after that, they are being paid close to veteran minimum. I mean if he only accepted that 4-year $80M deal with the Lakers then he must've more money now, but he got eaten by his ego and asked for a higher price and now this is the price he needs to pay. Well, it is what it is. Instead of earning $80M in the next 4 years, he only earned less than $10M in the past 3 years. It's not all bad I guess because the good thing is he is back with the Lakers, and he will be a big help there.
