So yeah, they are really filled with Giants.
In terms of speed, I think Westbrook and Schroder will be ideal for it and they were teammates, right? Did Schroder reach WB when he was still at OKC?
But the only problem is, Schroder turned down the $84M extension. Which means? He doesn't like playing with WB? Or is it Lebron?

Where would this dude fall? What team does have the cap to fill for him?
He will be out with the Lakers, he was only there to prove his value and I think he will be able to land a good team. I'm not sure what teams really need a good point guard, but as of today's standard, PG is now bigger while Schroder is short, so a team would only give him a max contract if they sees him like CP3 and Trae Young.
And there's a rumor, maybe he would fit with the Knicks.

If they like a healthy and talented Point guard, they should go with Dennis Schroder. Though I can't say that he is a superstar but I'm sure Dennis Schroder is an underrated player. His numbers are consistent and he can provide offense for the team if needed.

With regards to the contract, not sure he will get bigger than what the Lakers had offered him.
Dennis Schroder is just looking for a bigger contract than what the Lakers is offering him, perhaps he just want to maximise his potential while he is still healthy. But obviously, LA doesn't want to provide or at least they don't have the capacity right now to offer it to Dennis because of salary cap.
Knicks already have Kemba Walker recently acquired, and they have Rose as well, if Schroder goes there, then they have a 3 guard rotation, not sure if that is a good idea. Unless. they will get Schroder and then trade him again.
Dennis Schroeder won't fit into the cap and I don't think the Knicks want to lean in on Schroeder with their current line up. Knicks need fill spots for a coue seats at the end of the bench their rotation is pretty straight right now with kemba at the 1, Fournier at the 2, and then backing them up with drose, IQ and Burks. Laying out tons of money (which they can't do) would be unwise in that position. They need another wing or 2 now
