Shaq Blasts Dennis Schroder For Giving Up $84 Million From Lakers

Shaquille O’Neal follows every move in the NBA. He is out of the game but follows every transaction. Big Shaq was definitely shocked to see that Dennis Schroder was left with nothing. The German native turned down an $84 million dollar offer. He thought NBA teams would offer $100 million or more. It was a wrong move and Schroder signed a smaller contract.

The NBA veteran will never get over the mistake he has just made. He would have had a better contract in his hands. He is left with nothing now. Some say the Boston Celtics got him with their lunch money.

Schroder agreed to ink a one-year deal with the Celtics and he will get less than $6 million in 2021-22.

Big Shaq blasts Dennis Schroder

Shaq is one of the many legends who criticized Schroder for his decision. He shared an interesting post on his Instagram account to describe the situation. It’s time to add some salt to the injury.

Shaq wasn’t the only Lakers icon to trash Schroder for missing a multi-million opportunity. Robert Horry had something to say about the German native, too. He blasted Schroder for his horrible decision.

“You said, ‘Oh, I want to return to the Lakers.’ But you wanted to play games. Now you are the disaster of your own game plan. You don’t know what you’re going to do. You probably lost about $60 million because you didn’t sign with the Lakers.”

Schroder gave up a lot of money by turning down Rob Pelinka’s offer. The Celtics didn’t even give him a good deal.

The Lakers, on the other hand, did an excellent job in the offseason. Pelinka signed a great group of veterans. Carmelo Anthony and Trevor Ariza will join LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the floor. Russell Westbrook joined the team through a trade and he will probably be the third option behind LeBron and AD.

The front office made a lot of moves, and they can definitely pull out one more. Several sources suggest that LA may go after Isaiah Thomas.
