Pistons Interested In Dennis Schroder As Alternative To Jalen Brunson

The Detroit Pistons will consider pursuing Dennis Schroder in free agency, sources tell Marc Stein of Substack.

Jalen Brunson has been a target of the Pistons, but Schroder would be a more affordable option with a similar skill-set.

Schroder signed a one-year, $5.9 million deal with the Boston Celtics last offseason and finished the season with the Houston Rockets following a deadline trade. Schroder reportedly turned down a four-year, $80 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers during the 20-21 season.

$5.9 million > $80 million

That's some strong "We got Jalen Brunson at home" energy.

Similar skill-set?
Sure...they both play basketball. Similar positive impact on winning? Yeah, not so much, I think.

Nothing wrong with picking up Schroder, in a vacuum, but directly comparing him to Brunson is interesting.

No no no. We have Hayes on the bench. Please no.

Heh...sorry, I was unclear.

I wouldn't pick up Schroder if I was Detroit.

Not sure that he's a "similar skill set" but sure that he's a different headset.
