Dennis Schroder Makes Strong Statement on Future With Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers left the playoffs a little too early this season. There has been growing speculation about the future of some players. General Manager Rob Pelinka will probably make a few changes in the offseason. Who is the first to go? Several players are set to become free agents. Dennis Schroder talked about his future with the Lakers. Can you make any guesses?

The storied franchise missed the chance to win a title this season. NBA analysts follow every move players make. Their social media activity is under a microscope. Schroder has attracted the attention of many fans. The Lakers veteran turned down a four-year contract extension worth $84 million. Media members keep asking him questions about his next move. The German native talked about this right after his team was eliminated from the playoffs.

“We’re going to be back. I’mma work my a– off to come back here, to give everything because we owe them fans one,” Schroder said. “I want to win a championship. I’mma work my a– off this summer and come back and be me.”

Dennis Schroder builds his future around the Lakers

Was there a friction between the veteran and the storied franchise? We heard so many rumors about Schroder’s contentment with his role with the team. Why did he decline the extension he was offered? One thing stands for sure. Schroder wants to be a Laker.

“Lakers they didn’t do nothing to me, they’re great, got the top two players in the league. Everybody in the locker room is great. So at the end of the day, like I said, I want to be here and win a championship. That’s not even a question. And it wasn’t about money because everybody who knows it’s not about money either. Of course you want to be fair. But at the end of the day not everything is about money for me and my family. At the end of the day if everything’s good, we’re going to come back and win a championship next year.”

LA has so much to do right now. Frank Vogel will have a big say in the offseason.
