Trying to trade unsuccessfully, still want to consider buying out the market? The Rockets refused to help the Lakers!
According to the news of Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin, the Lakers had an in-depth exchange with the Celtics before the trade deadline about the Dennis Schroder transaction in an attempt to get back the team's starting guard last season. However, in the end, the two sides still did not negotiate on the issue of draft picks, and the final transaction did not happen. The Celtics turned around and sent Schroeder and Tim to the Rockets, in exchange for Daniel Theis, an old insider acquaintance who had played for the team, further strengthening the team's interior strength. Interestingly, though, the Lakers didn't give up on their pursuit of Schroeder. They hope the Rockets will be able to lay off Schroeder in the near future and sign the veteran with a base salary in the buyout market.
Schroeder is a backcourt player that the Lakers exchanged danny Greena for a first-round pick from the Thunder in the 2020 offseason, but his performance with the Lakers last season did not meet the team's expectations, especially in the playoffs, he did not show his due strength, and his performance was also one of the important factors in the team's first round of the playoffs. This offseason, Schroeder had hoped to get a multi-year big contract from the Lakers, but the Lakers did not meet his requirements, but signed Westbrook from the Wizards and directly released Schroeder. With not many teams having salary space at the time, Schroeder was forced to sign a mini-middle-class contract with the Celtics.
Schroeder's performance with the Celtics this season is still good, but it is clear that his style of play is not very suitable for the Celtic style, and it is for this reason that the Celtics chose to shoot him before the trade deadline, in exchange for a player who is more suitable for the team's playing style. In contrast, the Lakers' thinking is a bit funny, don't schroeder in the offseason, and now you want to do everything you can to get him back?
Of course, judging from the current news, the Rockets will not let the Lakers easily succeed, and they seem to be more inclined to let Schroeder stay in the team.
