Dennis Schroder, Lakers Discuss Extension

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Sat Dec 26, 2020 1:46 am

The Los Angeles Lakers and Dennis Schroder have engaged in extension talks and those discussions are expected to pick up agains as soon as mid-February.

Schroder turned down an initial offer from the Lakers worth $33.4 million over two years. The figure represented the maximum allowable offer before Feb. 16.

Schroder could earn as much as $83 million over four years between Feb. 16 and the start of the 2021 offseason. The Lakers can offer a starting salary of $18.6 million starting with the 2021-22 season, which creates much more of a realistic opportunity for the Lakers.

Getting this done will secure a pretty deep Laker core for the next 3-5 years. Good time to be a Laker fan!

Amazing comparison given that New Orleans has the same FA clout as LA. A 27 year old PG that can distribute the ball and shoot efficiently on an already stacked team is nothing to scoff at. On most teams Schroder would be a starter and as such I fail to see how this is not a net positive.

i was speaking to dennis shroeder as part of a core, not to LA's capacity to attract FAs

and shroeder has both poor scoring efficiency and poor A:TO ratio over his career. only last season did his scoring efficiency improve to solid. fluke? time will tell...until then, as i said, nothing at all to get excited about having him on your team

Try analyzing it in a vacuum w/out all that other noise. When you consider that he's effectively a Rondo replacement on a championship team, it's a clear improvement for the near and long term if they are able to extend.

in the long-term it's no longer a "rondo replacement on a championship team." additionally, the money matters. even if it's the lakers

and who's your danny green replacement (an obviously better all-around player than shroeder who actually HAS experience making significant contributions to championship teams)?

Wes Matthews - yes a watered-down version of Danny Green, but combined w/all the other offseason moves they are definitely in a great position. I do wish they hung onto Dwight Howard and have no idea what happened there, as he only signed for the vet min, in Philly.
