On February 22, Beijing time, veteran point guard Goran Dragic, who was recently traded to the Spurs and directly bought out by the Spurs, finally made his own new decision, he did not choose to chase his Los Angeles Lakers all the time, but went to the Eastern Powerhouse and recently completed hardened for Simmons trade with the Nets. In this way, if Ben Simmons is the main point guard, Dragic should be the First Point Guard on the Nets' bench, and Mills will be more in the No. 2 position.
So now that Dragic has chosen to go down, other teams will also turn their reinforcements elsewhere. The Rockets' new point guard Schroeder became the first choice for these teams aiming to strengthen the No. 1 position. NBA expert Kenneth Teape deliberately wrote an article about Schroeder, according to his analysis, Schroeder, who refused to sign an 80 million contract last season, should find another big contract in the free agent market this summer, so his possibility of staying with the Rockets should not be very large. Even the Rockets could buy out Schroeder this season and let him become a free agent.
Schroeder's departure this summer is "sooner or later," and after parting ways with the Rockets, Schroeder can sign with any NBA team, after all, after his $5.9 million contract expires this season, he is a free agent this summer, and no one can limit him. If Schroeder is bought out by the Rockets for the rest of the season, where will Schroeder's next stop be? The expert also gave his own analysis, according to his analysis, the 3 strong teams in the East may become Schroeder's potential next home, let's take a look.
The first is the Bulls. The Bulls, which have DeRozan, LaVine, Ball and Vucevic this season, have performed steadily, but they have encountered too many injuries and urgently need to increase their manpower, Ball and Caruso have been on leave for a few weeks, Lavine's injury is not good, this team has performed well, but they need to increase the depth of the lineup, natural Rockets point guard Schroeder, has become the ideal reinforcement candidate. Being able to hold the ball and score points on your own is Schroeder's advantage.
The second team is the Miami Heat. The Eastern Powerhouse didn't get Dragic, so they may be interested in Schroeder, and if they can join the Heat, Lowry will get a qualified substitute, lowry has missed 13 regular season games with injury this season and is in desperate need of a backup point guard. Schroeder's arrival allowed him to form a strong second team with Oladipo and Hiro.
The third team was last season's championship Bucks. Whether Big Luo can reappear is still in suspense, but Ibaka's addition has increased the Bucks' interior depth, so if possible, the Bucks may seek to add a point guard. After Divenzo left, Schroeder could make up for it and have Schroeder paired with Portis to give the big young man a chance to score in the second team.
Taken together, the expert believes that Schroeder and the Rockets are only temporarily joining forces, and perhaps the two sides will buy out soon. Taking a step back, the Rockets will also find it difficult to keep Schroeder this summer in the offseason, and if they become free agents this season or in the offseason, there will naturally be many teams chasing Schroeder, and I believe the Lakers will also join the competition.
