Don’t worry about your friends around the league, worry about your employer, the Hawks, you’re under contract so shut up and play. Damn I hate these privileged new age generation. And here I thought my generation was spoiled...

I am guessing he thought this wouldnt get to the NBA b/c it was in Germany...which is of course...was not very smart. I wonder if he cares if he starts or not...I dont think he would start over Bledsoe and he might not start over Collison. I agree we need more context, but he is acting like he is an all star calibur player. If he goes to either of those teams he will likely come off the bench imo. Yeah, Schroder scored a little more than both of them this, but thats b/c he had more chances to shoot. He is not as efficient in scoring as either of them and he is just not overall better in other areas either.

He was the only one not scared out there both offensively and defensively. Not sure where he lost that but I suspect it was coached out of him to a degree.

Interesting...very interesting.
My first phone call would be to Brooklyn who seems to be constantly collecting under achieving young players on less than stellar contracts.
Maybe to Utah in a swap of not awesome players.
Basically to any coach that Dennis played under earlier in his career.

NBC SportsSchroder’s discontent is understandable, and he’s handling it reasonably. He just wants to talk to the Hawks about their direction. He didn’t say he’s demanding or even requesting a trade. Why should he want to spend his prime on a bad team? The Hawks were so lousy, they’d have to improve to reach second-to-last in the Eastern Conference. At 24-58, they were dead last.
Most teams have either a better starting point guard or a younger point guard to build around. A few could trade for Schroder, but it’s a narrow market.
He and the Hawks might just be stuck together.

I still recall AverageAl, ChillSap andJeffrey being our supposed vet leaders but totally bending over for the Cavs in multiple years. Meanwhile, Dennis actually tried while them "solid" vets were self-checking out there. He was the only one not scared out there both offensively and defensively. Not sure where he lost that but I suspect it was coached out of him to a degree.
Would I be surprised to see him traded? No. Honestly, based on these recent comments, he should be traded. But I'm not gonna run him down as a player based on a year with DysfunctionalDwight and 1 year where we were trying to lose.
I'd prefer he get on-board with whatever CLP is trying to institute here. At least give the new HC a chance, see what his vision is, before checking out.
If not, good luck elsewhere ... until you play the Hawks. Hope we get a good enough package in return.
ETA: And, how dare you, macd?! You'd rather see Taylor at the point? Really? For shame ...
