Dennis Schroder is expected to miss 10-to-14 days

[tamaraw08]

If you join a team who just won rings, and demand to start; people will expect you to be good enough to be a starter on the championship team. Elite. Bulls eye is on your back. Fans of Dennis, perhaps don’t complain about high expectations for Dennis?

If he then says no to extension offers because he can catch more money later (putting himself over the team) ... If you then disregard vaccine protocol twice because you put yourself over your team ... If your team defense is more like man defense because you put yourself over your team ...

Yeah, we should sign and trade Dennis after we repeat. Maybe to Pop and the Spurs. Kuzma and Schröder should net us some solid trade return. Especially if we repeat.

Yes, yes, Dennis has shown signs of selfishness and arrogance, valuing himself way above his actual worth etc. etc. I heard Quin Cook is one of the greatest teammates, a class guy, how I wish he had Schroder's ability to penetrate/attack the basket and defend etc but he doesn't and more importantly he is NO LONGER with the team.
I can't imagine this team winning it all without Schroder being at least decent and for that, I hope and pray he does well for the Lakers' sake.
If Pops is willing to pay and accept an egocentric and arrogant player like Dennis and is willing to give up Patty Mills and/or Murray, then of course yes, but I don't see it happening.

In a german interview last week, he revealed lebron and himself weren't vaccinated. Now, that he's missing time due to covid, the article is making its runs

I think you only have to sit out if you were vaccinated but got a positive just in case as steve clifford had to do with the magic, and rick carilisle earlier this season but other than that, you're pretty much free to move around.

further more, Dennis has been having vlogs, some included him going to amusement parks and out to eat.

seems like in violation of nba code, but whatever.

Great post.

This is an exhibition in how to make LeBron and Co not want you back. Good job, Dennis.

Don't get me wrong, I would rather have Rondo here, or even Lonzo or Patty Mills, but instead we have him. Choosing not to get vaccinated is reprehensible, but I just cringe when we pick and chose who to hate for whatever reason and then excuse other players for doing it.
He gets crucified for committing many turnovers but when AD, Lebron and THT do it, nobody seems to care.
One fan hated that he can't hit 3 pointers but at the same time loves THT who can't shoot above 27% from 3.

I don't think LeBron has vlogs of him eating at restaurants and going to amusement parks. I think all players should get vaccinated especially star players on any team but the optics of LeBron putting himself at risk is not present, this why Dennis should get the blame

I'm no fan of Schröder's attitude and demeanor. Unfortunately we weren't able to get rid of him at the deadline. THT has been awful for a while now. I would've been ok trading him in a package for Lowry. Sure he is likely not a finished product and can get better. However, he's currently a net negative player.

I liked how Caruso played yesterday. His confidence has finally grown a bit over the last month, which is long past due.

After we play in to the playoffs, I hope we get the Suns as our warmup.

[BEazy]

I have a feeling he'll more than likely mess up the chemistry we're building right now. Such an idiot for going into health and safety protocol this late into the season. Unforgivable if you ask me. When this walking egomaniac comes back, Caruso's production will fall.

[Kilroy]

Schroder tweeted he's back so maybe against Indy?

[LAKESHOW]

This dumba** not being available is bull****

[tamaraw08]

Schroder tweeted he's back so maybe against Indy?

For choosing not to get vaccinated which probably resulted to him missing several important games, I say, put him in the bench and let Caruso start. Tell him to practice screen roll plays with Harrell, hell, he should have put up 1000 3pt shots everyday to improve on his paltry 33%.

Well would ya look at that, Schroder is starting all sorts of **** in the media and is literally cussing out Laker beat reporters. LETS RESIGN THIS GUY!!!....smh...

Starting dumb nonsense right before the playoffs as well. **** THIS GUY.

Because he didn’t answer a COVID question that he told them he had no comment for, yet they asked him 7 different ways after

We still have Hippa so he’s not required to discuss his health. He also is fully in his rights to not be vaccinated with something he sees as experimental or maybe his people growing up were against vaccines, but he doesn’t have to explain it. They got cuss Ed because their stupid asses kept coming after the no comment with the same question reworded. They earned that p, stupid ass questions and choices get stupid ass door prizes.

Hell I still remember Phil being tired of the press at one point and saying give them their mfn credit

I agree but there is a me in team. His finances is not something he needs to discuss and he doesn’t owe anyone a discount or to ageee to an extension because people force it on him. The fact he has been a positive can’t be overlook as we have a winning record with him and losing without him. And while guys kill him for his attitude, he could have sat out with the foot injury or hip after being slammed but he didn’t for the team, instead he just elevated his okay and keep the team in the hunt without Bron or AD playing as hard as he could play.

He mercurial. I understand that completely, hell Van Exel, Payton, and Rondo were all the same way. As long as he gets the job done and shows up to play, I don’t give a damn if he doesn’t share his medical reports which no one has to do in life. I don’t care if he doesn’t want people counting his money and telling him what he is worth because end of the day he’s worth whatever a team forks over to him as it is a business and those same teams will trade your discounted ass, see Lou Williams or Glen Rice. I don’t even care if he isn’t liked by his teammates as long as he helps them win on the court because many days Kobe, Rodman, hell even Bron isn’t liked but they did their job.

I’m go judge him by the playoffs which is how Fish, Fox, Horry, Rondo, Odom, and other role guys were judged

Was he considering all that privacy when he blabbed to the German media about LeBron not being vaccinated? Plus in his YouTube videos he doesn't wear a mask or barely wears a mask, but he wants to practice safety during a video press conference where nobody is around him??? He really thinks he's fooling folks with that dumb mask he wears every video press conference?? I don't buy that **** bro. It's a simple question and he was beating around the bush with his answers. Any journalist that has a brain will follow up with additional questions to clarify what the hell he is saying. He put himself in this situation, just like he put himself in his contract situation. You can't blame Lakers beat writers, they ask everybody about health, and even **** that isn't even relevant to the Lakers. It's Los Angeles, the land of paparazzi and journalist...

Dude you just named a whole bunch of guys that can back up their attitude with their play. You must've missed last game where he scored 4-4 in the 1st and then did basically nothing after the 1st quarter. He literally scored 2 points going forward... Don't give me that defense crap, he was getting smoked by Eric Bledsoe to the point where THT had to sub in for his ass. LeBron certainly enjoys playing with him right? To the point where Bron humiliated Schroder for his **** defense in front of the whole entire world watching on TV and in front of coaches, teammates, and the crowd.

Your whole premise is one game after weeks off.

I saw him shutdown Curry this year. I saw him lead the team in scoring, lead them in assists with a 3 to 1 assist to turnover ratio, and not miss a game while Bron and AD sat. I saw Lebrun childishly betting a hundred on a 3 vs Houston. I’ve seen him and AD on YouTube and it playing call of duty together on the road. I’ve seen frank praise his energy and effort numerous times.

And you proved my point, they earned it. Fisher was made by Phil to earn his spot in 01 after being benched for Harper and fisher played lights out. Fox got the spot to replace Rice when the media roasted Phil for letting rice walk and playing him over the all star in the playoffs, but fox proved him right by doing a number on Peja. Harry coasted through the season and proved Phil and pop right over and over in the playoffs. He’ll Odom was blasted for his inconsistency regular season game to regular season game but Phil always played him big minutes in the playoffs and had him finish games and it paid off. Vogel was ripped all year for keeping rondo in the lineup but Rondo made him look smart in the playoffs.

My point is I’m going to judge Dennis by the playoffs. I don’t give a damn about his attitude or what the media says. Hell the media loved Sessions yet he was scared in the playoffs. The fans loved Van Exel but vs Utah he short 24 and 21 percent from 3 when the lights were brightest. I care about what he does when the playoffs come, just like I said all last year, I didn’t give a **** about what people thought about KCP during the year until they came. If he’s the Dennis who played while Bron and AD were out and he goes and gets 13 and 7 while holding Paulin check and helping us beat Denver, I don’t really care if people like him because I’m go like the winning.

How can you say he put himself in the contract situation? He didn’t make the cba

If he extends when he was traded, he can’t get 2 years extra on his deal.
If he extends after camp but before a certain deadline he can’t get 20 mil
If he extends after that deadline his max was 4/84 which isn’t close to a free market max

The CBA is really **** up. Chicago has a problem too with Lavine. If he extends now he shorts himself out of 40 mil. If he waits to free agency he gets more money and years. The way they re did it doesn’t favor anyone who is not getting super max as it encourages the starters and other all stars to let their deals expire.

I mean people got mad he felt he is worth more than 84 mil and say he’s not worth 21 a year, which his contract wouldn’t be actually as he can flat rate his extension as it was pointed out before. He plays on a flat deal now with no raises but his extension couldn’t be, it would have have to been raises every year. And there is a market where NY or Chicago could pay him more.

Plus we keep overlooking he was honest and said the year before he didn’t want to be a Laker or Clipper, he wanted to beat them both to the old media
