Dennis Schröder rejects 4 year $84M extension from Lakers (Per ESPN's Fat Elephant Cac)

[NatiboyB]

I'll sit out and wait till someone needs a PG. 5.9 mil is chump change and an opportunity will likely open up. Someone will get hurt as always.

yeah that’s what I was saying about a few others. Injuries will occur in preseason for example or early in the season. Or a trade may occur. Just be patient I want to say he can still get some of the MLE during the season if a team has it left.

He likely needs a team where he can get minutes and shots. Not looking like he wants to be a backup so that may be his last choice.

Go to the highest bidder in China for a year.

Are we sure this is the agent's doing? Schroeder can just be delusional and think he's worth $100+M.

If I go to you and tell you 'this is a great deal, you should take it' and you tell me no, is it my fault?

Nah, I'm not sure If it was his agent's idea or his. But even if it was his...the agent should have further stressed the point to sign this deal. That you're over evaluating yourself. That's what the agents for. Maybe he did that though.

That's what I'm saying. We're drawing conclusions on incomplete data. All we know is that he was offered 4/84 from the Lakers at some point before the season ended and he turned it down. Maybe his agent begged Dennis to take it. We just don't know.

Well $5.9 millon over 17 years is $100 million

nikkas is laughing but BM getting fukked money wise is never a laughing matter to me. Chandler Parsons got 100 mil. Duncan Robinson got 90m. Sorry but I don't even like Dennis but he's a BM, I ain't cool with this.

It’s his fault though.

Parsons took the money and ran

Duncan Robinson would probably still be unsigned if he rejected the $90 million and said he wanted 120.

exactly…he fukked himself

 

[TOAD99]

To be honest tho Dennis is worth more than 5M per year

He’s a put of a dumbass and might not be the best locker room guy but he’s not a scrub

I think he deserves around 13-16 per year but damn he really took that L

 

[lightskin jermaine]

Dudes ego has been inflated since he came into the league. He finally got his reality check.

It’s not like teams are blackballing dude. Breh had a $84M contract offer from the Lakers and rejected it talking about he wanted a “fair deal”. No other team was gonna offer him that kind of money. This is all on him. Breh got greedy.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

He was gonna get that $84 mil deal and still get dangled as trade bait but his dumbass didn’t TAKE THE DEAL

 

[Tom Foolery]

Idiot. Everyone knows that if you are going to test the market, you have to kill it the final year of your contract.

Plus the Lakers would have traded him, so he would have had a clean start.

Can't blame other teams for not being interested. The reality is he's a ok starter at best.

 

[MikelArteta]

Money has dried up
He can't even get a devontae Graham type deal at the moment not even a cam Payne

84 mil and be traded or 5 mil and being able to pick your team. Dude is an idiot and should have listened to Bynum "There are ATM in every city"
