According to Yahoo reporter Jake Fischer, Schroeder is likely to leave the team in search of a good salary. We all know high salaries, Schroeder thought about it for a long time.
In 2020, he joined the defending champion Lakers in hopes of further improving his value. But unexpectedly, the Lakers collapsed, and his dream of a high salary also collapsed. To make matters worse, there was news that the Lakers were going to give a four-year, $84 million contract extension, but Schroder refused, and as a backup scoring champion, he wanted more.
So he came to the free market with all sides, thinking that he was a beautiful boy and attracted thousands of attention. As a result, the wind blew the fallen leaves and fluttered, and the cold eyes were three thousand. In the end, he chose the middle class of 5.9 million a year to join the Green Army.
The huge gap makes him a typical example of arrogance. But at the Green Army press conference, Schroeder shouted for himself: "This contract (84 million for 4 years) was never really put in front of me, we talked about it, but the contract never came out, money is not everything, for me and my family, I still got a good contract." ”
However, this paragraph understands that the Lakers and he discussed this contract, but they were not negotiated, so naturally they did not plan a contract? In all, 84 million became a number that Schroeder could not avoid. Joining the Green Army, his original intention was to play famous, and then go to the free market to ask for money, but he did not expect the Green Army to send him to the Rockets in the middle of the season, and then the Green Army soared to the Finals, but Schroder experienced the pain of rebuilding in Houston. The rebuilding team is dominated by newcomers, that is, the fighting power is not popular here, and naturally there are not many opportunities to perform.
Schroeder's final 10.9 points, to the free market to want a high salary long-term contract, is undoubtedly a fool's dream. What's worse, not to mention long appointments, there are few contracts to talk about. Fortunately, after carrying it twice, Schroeder ushered in a chance to prove. He averaged 20 points per game at the European Championship and led the team to the last four, defeating Spain by five points.
The Lone Ranger had just left Brunson at that time, and he wanted to find Schroeder and gave a 3-year offer of 9.8 million. However, Schroder took the initiative to find James and commented on whether to join forces again, he chose where to fall and where to get up, and joined the Lakers at the end of 1 year.
He performed well in the regular season, averaging 12.4 points, 4.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 29.6 minutes per game, shooting 41.5%, 32.9% and 85.7% from the field. The playoffs lock Curry, Dou Green, and early expulsion to host a celebration banquet is impressive. But the playoff average dropped to 7.4 points, 2.9 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 1 steal in 26 minutes per game, shooting 39.8%, 33.3% and 82.2% from three-field range. However, for the basic salary, this achievement is still good.
But for two years in a row, Schroeder's income was below market prices, making him more eager to seek a higher income. Unless the Lakers use the routine of Batum and Portis to first extend Schroder with a two-year exception (1+1), he will jump out of the contract next year, and the Lakers will extend the contract with the early Bird clause. The specific process is that the Lakers signed Schroder with a two-year, $9 million two-year exception, a second-year player option. Then the 24-25 season can give 58 million for 4 years after getting early bird rights.
Will the Lakers?
