Dennis Schroder Can See Himself In Brooklyn Long-Term
Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder is set to be a free agent after this season. That, combined with the Nets rebuilding, has put the veteran in trade rumors. However, Schroder can see himself staying in Brooklyn for the long-term.
"When I first got traded here, they texted my mom, texted my wife, sent them flowers. I love things like that. My teammates from the first day were talking to me, and they made me feel comfortable. That’s all you can ask for. The front office and all those guys, social media guys, everybody is just cool and making sure the players are straight. That’s the reason why I can see myself being here long-term," Schroder said. "But it’s a business at the same time, and whenever a decision is made, I just go with it and always remind myself that it’s the best league in the world. So it doesn’t matter where [I'm playing]. Even if I get traded, I always gotta see the positive side of it. But I want to stay here."
Schroder is making just over $13 million in the final year of his contract. That's a tradable figure for teams that are looking for backcourt help approaching the trade deadline. Brooklyn is expected to consider trades for the veterans on their roster, as they are in Year 1 of the rebuilding process.
