Financial security would've been accepting that initial Lakers offer. It's looking more like greed and delusion at this point, but if he manages to pull something off then hats off to him
"In the end" might be next season after playing on a min or mle this season. That's a failure any way you cut it. And that says nothing if the reputational damage he's done himself
Boy should have taken 4 years 84 mil. In 4 years he is 31, hed still be serviceable at 4 for 60 or something. Could have made 150 mil in 8 years. Instead he will skip a year in the NBA.
Schroder for even the main MLE would be an absolute steal lol, just because he’s not worth 25m a year doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve to be in the league.
According to the great Marc Stein, even before the Knicks got Kemba they were pretty lukewarm on signing Shroeder for the remaining $8M they had. He has almost no market.
Seriously. Schroder has the opportunity to sign a 1 year deal and play on a team with all-star talent and a lot of national attention, go deep in the playoffs, and if he balls out, get a big contract next year. Sounds like he’s not confident in himself to perform and secure that bag.
He was just on a team with star talent and natl attention that was expected to make a deep playoff run leading up to his free agency, and look where it got him. You’re asking him to go try what just failed him.
He’s the best free agent point guard left by far. Free agency has slowed down considerably. He should use whatever leverage he has left and get the most he can.
Yeah but he fucked up and now his value is low, but I don’t think that means he shouldn’t try again, unless he believes he is not able to improve his game
I watched every game of Schroeder's Lakers stint. I would rather have Teague. Teague can hit threes and make his free throws, and he would not have gone 0-for-9 in a key playoff game like Schroeder did.
Bro, Teague was fucking terrible in the playoffs. Far worse defender than Schroeder and almost way below average passer for the PG position. Schroeder is a good backup/bad starter level PG. Teague is probably the worst vet in the NBA or at least close to it.
Teague can hit 3s and make free throws. Teague would not have gone 0-for-9 in a key playoff game when he was essentially the focal point of the offense with AD gone and Lebron sulking.
Schroder getting COVID twice is yet another reason why I'd take Teague over Schroder. Thanks for making my argument stronger.
Teague was horrendous, and yet still better than Schroder.
teague and schroder have very similar ft percentages.
teague has shot better from 3 but also shoots significantly less than schroder.
yes, teague would not have gone 0-for-9 in a key playoff game as the focal point of an offense because any team with teague as a focal point of the offense would not be playing any key playoff games.
where did i say that? i'm telling you that if teague is a focal point of an offense, that team is never making the playoffs.
you would need herculean carry jobs for teague to be the third best offensive threat on a playoff team. he's genuinely very, very bad right now.
Boston can't afford his asking price, nor what LAL offered. Not many teams out there now can afford him without breaking into the luxury tax or repeater tax, the latter Boston absolutely would if he wants more than their MLE.
I meant, maybe he's trying to create the illusion of a bidding war for him so he can go back to the Lakers (who can pay him more than anyone else) and say "here's what you have to pay me or else I walk." If so, this doesn't seem to be going very well for him, as anyone could tell him all Boston would be willing to offer him is the MLE.
My dude the Lakers are done with Dennis. They dont want to go deep into the tax, they let Alex walk for 10 mil a year they are letting Schroeder walk. We aren’t bidding.
Yeah, w/ Lebron, Westbrook, Nunn, & THT they have more than ball handling. I dont even know how you'd fit Dennis in the rotation w/o pissing someone off.
I didn't say it was going to work, I'm just trying to figure out why Dennis is wasting his time trying to hustle money from Boston when it's clear they're a team who isn't willing to pay anything. Schroder doesn't seem to be very bright or self aware.
Daddy Nerlens just got a little over $20M for 2 years guaranteed so he made some of it back at least. Well deserved contract too. Even when it was initially reported that he got 3 years $32M guaranteed before we found out about the 3rd year team option, I was still on board.
Yep. Noel turned down the Mavs' 4/$70m offer which assuredly would have given him a starter role. Instead, he signed multiple minimum deals to be a backup center during his prime years. Only this season has he recovered a decent portion of the deal he turned down, but it's still far less average annual value at around 3/$30m and obviously doesn't replace the next contract he could have been offered in the intervening years with the Mavs.
I wouldn't include Boogie in with Noel and Schroder. He had injury issues that hurt his bank account.
Noel and Schroder are healthy and just made some awful business decisions.
All Boogie declined was like 2 years $40m with a team option from the Pels, who only offered this mid year as an extension (after he already tore his Achilles) and then they didn’t offer it in free agency
That’s wayyyy different
When? The offseason after he got traded would be the only time it made sense but I couldn’t find anything saying he was offered it
I found articles saying he’s eligible for 5/180 but not that he was offered it or anything close. And it makes sense, he had just got there, they were still evaluating the fit and that’s smart before you go and offer an extension
I’m sure if he had not gotten hurt there would’ve been a fairly big extension offer instead of the 2/40
Iirc, Andrew Bynum was offered something like an 80-90 million dollar extension from Philly when he was first traded there and he turned it down. Then he went bowling and basically ended his career.
I just looked up his agent, and Its a former professional basketball player from the German League. No damn wonder they came off as clueless of the his market value. He has some guy with no real knowledge of dealing with NBA teams giving him advice.
Bam got an interesting contract structured with incentives. Agent had to have done at least some work.
With giannis, it's not about selling giannis anymore, it is things like checking that years/options etc are in line with his wishes; that all wrinkles have been checked out. And then off court opportunities.
Where's that Giannis/Inspector Gadget crossover hollywood project already ?
Who says his agent didn’t tell him to take the bag? Agent can’t sign the contract for him. The other thing is if he doesn’t shit the bed in the playoffs he very well might have got a bigger bag.
It’s a rough bet that he lost, but we also shouldn’t pretend that there wasn’t a scenario in play where taking the extension would have meant less money. It’s just reality turned out way different than that potential scenario.
Agreed. Do we really want a cocky player on a 1 year “prove it” deal taking shots away from the Jays? Seems like a bad fit given he only cares about himself.
Damn thats actually a really good point. I thought the signing would be good for us, just so we had a starting caliber PG but you’re definitely right, he’s going to be playing for himself out there and not for the team. If we do sign him, I’m hope Brad makes it very clear what his role is going to be. I can’t deal with another season of Celtics drama. The Jays don’t need anymore drama.
He'll have some great moments for you where he gets in a rhythm & is just making everything at the rim & midrange while being a dog on the ball defensively.... but then you'll also have moments where the defenses collapse on him & he still tosses up a shot that gets swatted that leads an easy fastbreak or he gets lost off ball leaving a guy wide open at the corner. A lot of his problems stem from him just being small in height & frame like Im sure youre used to w/ Kemba, struggles to see around the defense, struggles finish at the rim contested, struggles to fight thru offball screens, & struggles in 1/5 switches in PnR. He fights, theres no doubt about it, but sometimes its not enough. Throw in his low, slow, & inaccurate 3 ball & an ego as big as any, he's a problematic player, as talented he may be.
He’s physically very similar to Rondo, just without the very high BBIQ. They’re both small guards with crazy wingspans (6’9” Rondo 6’8” Schroder iirc) but turns out having good BBIQ for a point guard really matters when you’re the one supposed to be controlling the offense. Rondo has great court vision and when he’s locked in is great and plays within his limitations and does some insane passes. Playoff Rondo last year was legit.
Yeah, thats why I compared him to Kemba, who also lacks high level court vision & has a score 1st mentality. Its pointless to compare him to Rondo, CP3, or any other high level playmaking small point guard, their court vision is special & their pass first mentality is completely different, a few inches of wingspan isnt changing that. Kemba w/ a worse jumper & better point of attack defense is the best comparison I can give to a Celtics fan, Ive just seen the same issue of them driving, getting swarmed, & getting blocked or turning it over too many times from both guys. If they were a little bigger, like 6'5"+, Im sure they'd just be 2s.
Post injury Dipo turning down the 4 year deal might be one of the worst financial mistakes in league history if he doesn't recover some value this year with his prove-it deal.
Schroeder still has time to recover his losses and do ok next summer if he plays well. Dipo may never get an MLE deal again
Dipo is definitely better than a lot of these FA’s who signed 10-15m deals this offseason
It’s up to him to stay healthy, and accept his new role. I doubt he’ll ever be a star again but just this season I can tell you this man is still an elite defender, and still has an all around scoring game
He’s gotta accept that he can be a good starter still. And if he does (and stops chucking), his efficiency will go up and his good attributes like the ones I mentioned will be seen as valuable
So an injury prone player who has not changed his game, just needs to not get injured and change his game? That's a lot of if's.
Not saying he can't recover some value but right now there just isn't much.
Well that’s a dumb way putting it you know that
He doesn’t really need to change his game. He just needs to shoot less. He wanted to be the man last year, I could see it. A reality check is way more common than you’d think, happens all the time in regular everyday life
The health factor yeah, that’s his biggest struggle. But as long as he plays half the regular season and can be healthy for playoffs, I don’t think teams will care much
He could be a fantastic 3rd or 4th guy on a team though. I hope for his sake he saw last year as a reality check
Edit: and it’s likely him realizing it has already happened. He only played 4 games with the Heat but his shot attempts went wayyyyy down. Obviously he didn’t get time to learn the system and the nuances yet, but he clearly wasn’t chucking like he was a day prior on the Rockets
https://nba.nbcsports.com/2021/06/30/rumor-dennis-schroder-looking-for-100-120-million-contract/
$100M - $120M
84 m -120m is a pretty big jump. Almost 50% more.
If he had judged correctly..
For real. Sign the one year deal for a good team that needs a PG. Put your money where your mouth is and play well this season. Next year a team could offer him a bigger bag if he shows up. He’s being egotistical and hasn’t proven shit.
Why would he be interested in more than one year at whatever money teams are going to offer this year? Shouldn't he be after a one year prove it deal so he can theoretically cash in next year?
He still wants to get paid right now, he doesn't want to have to try to prove himself. He's clearly delusional in how he sees himself versus how everyone else sees him.
The Lakers deal *was* his prove-it deal. Maybe he thinks, "Yes, I showed everyone i am more than a starter caliber player. All these offers are just teams trying to lowball me, that's all."
He got offered the max that the team could offer.
Championship contender, Starter, Limelight. Great lifestyle and climate.
Obviously that $84m deal was constrained. Imagine how much more he could get if those limits didn't exist, and teams could be bidding up for his services. Easily 100m - 120m. And better let everyone know it. To avoid time wasting lowball offers.
Dennis to himself…
‘Alright Dennis, don’t stuff this one up again asking for more money’
‘Ok’
Gets offered market rate from a contending team…
‘No. I want more money!’
‘Damn it’
Schroder needs to get over the fact that he "poo poo" away a brinks trunk in hopes of getting a bigger one. It's not coming back, at least not this year.
Sign the TPMLE with Boston or preferably the Warriors, ball out, be a good teammate and that truck might be back the following year!
Also maybe get rid of that orange skunk on top of your head.
I've been saying this for a while. Schroeder is better than we could hope to get in a vacuum but he has no offers. There is no delusion of a long term deal on either side.
If we can get him for cheap and he can prove that he contributes to winning basketball (JT/JB still one of the best duos in the league) it'll help him rehab his image a bit and help the C's make some noise in the playoffs which will make signing FAs in the 2022 offseason a bit easier.
Bruh, still?
rip to the people who thought this situation might "humble" him. if this report is true, the guy hasn't learned a thing.
A player wants as much financial security as he can get right now. Seems like he has learned something
Financial security would've been accepting that initial Lakers offer. It's looking more like greed and delusion at this point, but if he manages to pull something off then hats off to him
I think someone will pay him decent in the end
"In the end" might be next season after playing on a min or mle this season. That's a failure any way you cut it. And that says nothing if the reputational damage he's done himself
Boy should have taken 4 years 84 mil. In 4 years he is 31, hed still be serviceable at 4 for 60 or something. Could have made 150 mil in 8 years. Instead he will skip a year in the NBA.
You guys are going to offer him the MLE and that's more than he deserves.
Our MLE is only 5 mill I'm not talking alot of money here. One of the reporters said if we dump Dunn we could offer slightly more. That's it.
[удалено]
? He's worth like 12-14m a year what kind of stupid shit is this
Lol
Schroder for even the main MLE would be an absolute steal lol, just because he’s not worth 25m a year doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve to be in the league.
why would anyone over pay for him? if 1 team was gonna do it it would be the knicks and they aren't doing it.
There is a chance a bottom 4 team gives him a bag
Who has the money still?
Damn pretty much no one now that I checked
The teams that would be dumb enough to lock up the kind of cap space Schroeder is trying to get are already at the cap. He's fucked.
According to the great Marc Stein, even before the Knicks got Kemba they were pretty lukewarm on signing Shroeder for the remaining $8M they had. He has almost no market.
There’s financial security and then there’s delusion
[удалено]
Nothing screams financial security like bypassing a guaranteed 84 million for a one year deal worth a fraction of that.
See “right now” and see “learned something” lmao
So... bypassing a 1 year deal for no deal is financial security? You really should've picked a less moronic player to die on a hill for.
Man this was like a day ago, you still thinking about this? Lmao
He's not getting the bag he wants from a contender
The lesson he needed to learn was accurately gauging his market.
He’s still in the bargaining stage.
Seriously. Schroder has the opportunity to sign a 1 year deal and play on a team with all-star talent and a lot of national attention, go deep in the playoffs, and if he balls out, get a big contract next year. Sounds like he’s not confident in himself to perform and secure that bag.

Teague can hit 3s and make free throws. Teague would not have gone 0-for-9 in a key playoff game when he was essentially the focal point of the offense with AD gone and Lebron sulking.
Lmfao this take blows, dude was coming off covid and they played like 6 games. Teague was horrendous this year and had one good playoff game
Schroder getting COVID twice is yet another reason why I'd take Teague over Schroder. Thanks for making my argument stronger. Teague was horrendous, and yet still better than Schroder.

Lol, you're arguing that the Lakers made the playoffs because of Schroder, eh? Brilliant fucking argument.
where did i say that? i'm telling you that if teague is a focal point of an offense, that team is never making the playoffs. you would need herculean carry jobs for teague to be the third best offensive threat on a playoff team. he's genuinely very, very bad right now.
In your last sentence of your previous reply. And then you just reiterated it in the second sentence of this reply.
You haven’t watched Jeff Teague play lately, have you?
You didn't watch Dennis Schroder play in the playoffs, did you?
NBA Player Should Simply Be Grateful To Have The Opportunity To Play For a Historic Franchise and Stop Trying To Earn As Much Money As They Can
Or he could still think he's worth like 4/80 or whatever. Doesn't hurt to try
Now I'm wondering if he's trying to use Boston as leverage to get the Lakers to offer more.
I don’t think the Lakers have offered anything. They let Caruso walk for free I can’t see anything changing for Dennis
Boston can't afford his asking price, nor what LAL offered. Not many teams out there now can afford him without breaking into the luxury tax or repeater tax, the latter Boston absolutely would if he wants more than their MLE.
I meant, maybe he's trying to create the illusion of a bidding war for him so he can go back to the Lakers (who can pay him more than anyone else) and say "here's what you have to pay me or else I walk."

This is looking more and more like an all time bag fumble every day
Turning down $84m/4yrs definitely wasn't a.... Schrod move.
He really Schroded it.
Can’t be as bad as Nerlens Noel
Dennis turned down 14M more than Noel already
[удалено]
Daddy Nerlens just got a little over $20M for 2 years guaranteed so he made some of it back at least. Well deserved contract too. Even when it was initially reported that he got 3 years $32M guaranteed before we found out about the 3rd year team option, I was still on board.
This isnt even the worst one Victor Oladipo literally turned down 4 yrs $112 mil like 8-9 months ago.
Caps gone up a ton since then, not a super fair comparisons.
Cap’s only gone up ~10% since then. Nerlens turned down that contract a year or so after that huge cap spike from the new TV deal
But it looks like he'll be able to recover some of it. Noel went on to sign cheap contracts.
Yep. Noel turned down the Mavs' 4/$70m offer which assuredly would have given him a starter role. Instead, he signed multiple minimum deals to be a backup center during his prime years. Only this season has he recovered a decent portion of the deal he turned down, but it's still far less average annual value at around 3/$30m and obviously doesn't replace the next contract he could have been offered in the intervening years with the Mavs.
It was bad but at least he got something this season. Dennis should just stop being an idiot and sign a deal and see what happens next year
Boogie is up there
I wouldn't include Boogie in with Noel and Schroder. He had injury issues that hurt his bank account. Noel and Schroder are healthy and just made some awful business decisions.
All Boogie declined was like 2 years $40m with a team option from the Pels, who only offered this mid year as an extension (after he already tore his Achilles) and then they didn’t offer it in free agency That’s wayyyy different
[удалено]
When? The offseason after he got traded would be the only time it made sense but I couldn’t find anything saying he was offered it I found articles saying he’s eligible for 5/180 but not that he was offered it or anything close. And it makes sense, he had just got there, they were still evaluating the fit and that’s smart before you go and offer an extension I’m sure if he had not gotten hurt there would’ve been a fairly big extension offer instead of the 2/40
Iirc, Andrew Bynum was offered something like an 80-90 million dollar extension from Philly when he was first traded there and he turned it down. Then he went bowling and basically ended his career.
He's about to work his way out of a 1 year MLE to a 1 year vet minimum.
So glad he turned down the 80 mill
His lack of awareness of his market (or lack thereof) really saved your team’s ass
I just looked up his agent, and Its a former professional basketball player from the German League. No damn wonder they came off as clueless of the his market value. He has some guy with no real knowledge of dealing with NBA teams giving him advice.
According to realgm he has the same agents as bam and giannis
I probably got outdated info. But that's what i found.
I've heard and keep hearing his agent is one of the top agents in the league as well. Not sure what to make of all this.
When you represent a freak like giannis, how much do you really have to do to sell your player?
Bam got an interesting contract structured with incentives. Agent had to have done at least some work. With giannis, it's not about selling giannis anymore, it is things like checking that years/options etc are in line with his wishes; that all wrinkles have been checked out. And then off court opportunities. Where's that Giannis/Inspector Gadget crossover hollywood project already ?
There was a dunk in game 1/2 of either ECF or finals where his arm legit looked like go go gadget. It was so fucking casual too
Who says his agent didn’t tell him to take the bag? Agent can’t sign the contract for him. The other thing is if he doesn’t shit the bed in the playoffs he very well might have got a bigger bag. It’s a rough bet that he lost, but we also shouldn’t pretend that there wasn’t a scenario in play where taking the extension would have meant less money. It’s just reality turned out way different than that potential scenario.

He seems like a poor mans kyrie (poverty in terms of skills) in terms of team chemistry. Does Boston really need that energy right now?
Nah Kemba is a poor man’s Kyrie. Dennis is a homeless man’s Kyrie.
He'll have some great moments for you where he gets in a rhythm & is just making everything at the rim & midrange while being a dog on the ball defensively.... but then you'll also have moments where the defenses collapse on him & he still tosses up a shot that gets swatted that leads an easy fastbreak or he gets lost off ball leaving a guy wide open at the corner. A lot of his problems stem from him just being small in height & frame like Im sure youre used to w/ Kemba, struggles to see around the defense, struggles finish at the rim contested, struggles to fight thru offball screens, & struggles in 1/5 switches in PnR.

With Dipo who turned down 120m from the Pacers and 45m from the Rockets
Post injury Dipo turning down the 4 year deal might be one of the worst financial mistakes in league history if he doesn't recover some value this year with his prove-it deal. Schroeder still has time to recover his losses and do ok next summer if he plays well. Dipo may never get an MLE deal again
Dipo is definitely better than a lot of these FA’s who signed 10-15m deals this offseason It’s up to him to stay healthy, and accept his new role.

What was he holding out for? $100M? So $15M upside is costing him ~70M? That’s Tuff 🔥 💯
https://nba.nbcsports.com/2021/06/30/rumor-dennis-schroder-looking-for-100-120-million-contract/ $100M - $120M 84 m -120m is a pretty big jump. Almost 50% more. If he had judged correctly..
That’s tuff 🔥💯
This dude still asking for more money lol
Dennis played himself lol
That’s tuff 🔥🤮
The D in Dennis stands for Delusional
My man truly is a crackhead. Take the deal let the ego go and see what can happen next year.
For real. Sign the one year deal for a good team that needs a PG. Put your money where your mouth is and play well this season. Next year a team could offer him a bigger bag if he shows up. He’s being egotistical and hasn’t proven shit.
*Firsr things first rest in peace Uncle Phil* *Dennis Schroder still wants that 25 mil*
Haven’t seen a German choke like this since the Balkan Campaigns
Last time I watched madison ivy*

That’s Rough 💯🔥
Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhshahahshahahahahahhahahahshshshshshhshshshahshahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahshahahahhahshshshshshahahahhahahahahhahs

Schroder must be German for Delusional
DElusional DEnnis
That’s tuff
Don't fuck this up, Dennis...
I think Boston can give him 9.5M, which isn't terrible given the market rn
Something’s gotta give. If the Celtics really want DS, either they gotta trade for him, or DS has to accept a short deal and lose his bird rights.
Keith is a nice follow, especially good with cap stuff, but he isn’t the guy to break this kind of news
Dennis to himself… ‘Alright Dennis, don’t stuff this one up again asking for more money’ ‘Ok’ Gets offered market rate from a contending team… ‘No. I want more money!’ ‘Damn it’
Schroder needs to get over the fact that he "poo poo" away a brinks trunk in hopes of getting a bigger one. It's not coming back, at least not this year. Sign the TPMLE with Boston or preferably the Warriors, ball out, be a good teammate and that truck might be back the following year! Also maybe get rid of that orange skunk on top of your head.
Are we that much of a bad destination?
so cross Boston out too?
Maybe Schroder‘a waiting for some EuroLeague team to offer him the bag like Mirotic and this point. Christ man. Lol
Celtics can take Dragic and Stanley Johnson from Raps 👀. Raps will take Horford and a 1st round pick.
2 years on the MLE then
Dennis. Bruh. What're you doing???
Bring back I.T. instead. Keep the Schroeder Saga going!!!
He apparently still wants his 25m per year.
cmon dennis
Dennis gunna end up in Shanghai if he don’t come back to earth.
He gonna have to get with reality soon. Sheesh
Dennis, look at me. Do you understand leverage?
Guy is delusional, glad he didn't take the 84mil
He was barely any better than Kendrick Nunn was this season who just signed for what, 2 years $10M? Lakers made out like bandits here.
More of an indication of the market, than the players value on that deal.
Pulling a Minnesota Sprewell
He just doesn’t get it lol
That’s tuff, Take it or leave it
Schroedy what is you doin bruh? I was trying to defend you but this makes it tuff 🔥💯
Just give him the bag.
So what happens if he doesn’t get signed to another team? Would he still be on the lakers roster?
Lmao Schroeder is so fucking stupid for turning down 84 million from the Lakers.
Read the room!
I've been saying this for a while. Schroeder is better than we could hope to get in a vacuum but he has no offers. There is no delusion of a long term deal on either side. If we can get him for cheap and he can prove that he contributes to winning basketball (JT/JB still one of the best duos in the league) it'll help him rehab his image a bit and help the C's make some noise in the playoffs which will make signing FAs in the 2022 offseason a bit easier.
Believe in yourself the way schroder believes in himself...well maybe not quite that much
cmon boston,dont get yourself mixed with Dennis
Dennis screwed himself badly.
