Dennis Schroder Has Blunt Response To Lakers Fan

Dennis Schroder shocked a Los Angeles Lakers fan with his response to one of his questions. The Lakers veteran is more than excited to stay with the team in the long term. Fans would love to see him in LA next season. Is this the best option for the German native? Schroder isn’t really sure that this is the best solution to his situation.

The front office offered Schroder a four-year deal worth $84 million earlier this season. Brian Windhorst was among the first to report the info. This was the maximum LA could offer at this point. What did Schroder do? He turned it down. Schroder is 27 and has great potential. In other words, he would love to earn more money at this point.

LA made a move following the rejection. They added Schroder to a trade package. They made him part of a trade discussion ahead of the deadline in March. Both moves aren’t really out of the ordinary.

Dennis Schroder made Lakers fan ask questions

Everything points to the fact that Schroder plans to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer. This is a really wise move for the veteran as it would allow him to check out potential offers. NBA teams have shown interest in the Lakers starter and some of them may give him a better deal than LA did.

Lakers fans are pretty impatient with Schroder’s attitude. One of them told him to sign a contract extension with the franchise. The Lakers guard said, “No tnx… in the summer I will sign.” What does that mean? Will he re-sign with the Lakers in the offseason? The only thing we can do at this point is sit and wait. Schroder is patient. Rob Pelinka is patient. Fans are impatient.

Schroder plays his cards close to the vest. He has a key role on the floor and LA needs him and his experience to win games. Schroder is well aware of this, but he also wants his money. Pelinka won’t spend too much money in the offseason as he has his roster set and ready to win. Will he change his mind?
