Spite? They offered him 84 million and he didn't take it. We're the ones who did the spiting by replacing him with a superior point guard. He has no one but himself or his agent to blame.

The season crashed and burned in the 1st round so all his calculations went out of the window. If the same contract was offered after Lakers got eliminated by Suns, I think he would have signed it for sure.
I also think he is quite a bit of problem in locker room, especially in Atlanta days and I don't think he has improved in that regard.
I remember one particular insider quote when he was fighting with Dwight in Atlanta and the whole locker room was actually siding with Dwight who was usually not very well-liked in the locker rooms either. The quote was something like "How terrible Dennis must be in that locker room that he even makes Dwight look like the good guy in that fight "

Why should he be upset with the Lakers. It’s not like they didn’t offer him an extension.
They did. & he turned them down.

Yeah, but they could have went over the tax to re-sign him before making all their signings or facilitated a S&T beforehand. Not that it's the Lakers fault but I'm sure he's a bit salty about it and especially given his character concerns, I can see him being a bit spiteful.

- Demands to be a starter on a team that just won a championship after being traded there.
- “I’m done coming off the bench” (after having literally best season of his career off the bench)
- Thinks he’s a Tier 1 point guard in the league (freaking lol)
- Demands to be paid at least $25 mill per year.
- Rejects a very generous 4 years $84 million contract half way through the season.
- Gets COVID and publicly admits he wasn’t getting vaccinated (great role model there)
- Spends his times Twitch streaming and on his YouTube channel.
- Antics in the Lockeroom.
- Throws one GIANT donut in a pivotal Game 5 against the Suns.
- Thinks he’s worth $30 mill per after the season ended (oh my freaking god lol)
He thought he had the Lakers by the balls and tried to squeeze it as hard as humanly possible. But in the end, he alienated himself from the Lakers organization and its fan base, and all of the NBA world witnessed it. And instead, the Lakers replaced him with a future hall of famer and the backup in with Dunn who you could even argue is an upgrade over Schroder too…at $5 mill per year for 2 years.
Congratulations Schroder, you played yourself. At least your name will now forever be used as a great, cautionary tale for all other future free agents. The term “Don’t Schroder yourself” be used very commonly somewhere down the line.
