After a quick moment, he lost his 80 million contract, and now he has changed 5 teams in 3 years, does the former MVP regret it?

Preface

With the completion of 82 games, the NBA regular season of the 23-24 season has also come to an end, after the end of the regular season, the teams are also sad and happy, including the Nets, Grizzlies, they all entered the playoffs last season, but this season have not been able to return to the playoff stage, the Grizzlies still have some reasons, after all, the core of the team led by Ja Morant has to miss the game due to injury, and the overall strength of the team will naturally decline a lot. But for the Nets, it shouldn't be.

Despite the loss of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, the team also gained Mikal Bridges, Dennis Schroder, Cameron Johnson and other powerful players. Even if the team's competitiveness drops, there is still a chance to compete for a playoff spot, but I never thought that the final record was only 32-50, ranking fifth from the bottom in the East.

This is difficult for the team and players to accept, especially Schroder, the MVP winner of the men's basketball World Cup, after rejecting a huge contract that year, not only failed to get the contract he wanted, but also continued to wander around the teams, I wonder if he will regret his original choice?

Rejected a huge contract, but only received a base salary offer.

Back in the 19-20 season, the 26-year-old Schroder was still playing for the Thunder, although the team sent away Russell Westbrook and Paul George, but also got Chris Paul and Alexander, respectively, so the Thunder were not favored, entered the playoffs strongly, and fought with the Rockets until the tiebreaker before losing.

As the sixth man, Schroder handed over 18.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4 assists in the regular season, and his excellent breakthrough and three-point shooting were regarded as treasures by many teams, so in the summer of 2020, there was no shortage of teams pursuing Schroder, and the Thunder, which intended to rebuild, eventually sent Schroder to the Lakers in exchange for Danny Green and a first-round pick with the 28th pick.

Schroder, who is in his contract year, got a lot of opportunities in the Lakers, and became a backcourt starter, although his efficiency has declined compared to the Thunder period, but he still played 15.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.2 steals, and overall the performance is still good.

However, what no one expected, including Schroeder himself, was that his life took a huge turn in the summer of 2021. With a contract year, the Lakers were desperate to keep Schroder, and in the middle of the season, they tentatively offered a two-year, $33.4 million contract extension.

Such a contract is naturally unwilling to accept for a 27-year-old defender who is in his prime. In order to preserve their strength, the Lakers also directly offered a four-year $84 million contract later, but Schroder still chose to refuse. In Schroder's eyes, he was fully worthy of a 100 million dollar contract, and in the end, he did not stay with the Lakers and entered the free market that summer.

Ironically, Schroder had a terrible playoff season that year, and he was unpopular in the free agency market for a while, and it was only in August that he got a one-year, $5.9 million offer from the Celtics, and he had to accept it.

Wandering three teams, but shining in FIBA.

After coming to the Green Army, Schroder still had some highlight moments, after all, there was absolutely no problem with his ability at this time, such as in the strong dialogue with the defending champion Bucks, Schroder exploded 38 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists to help the Green Army beat the opponent in overtime.

However, the Celtics do not intend to keep Schroder for long, knowing that his contract is only one year, and with his ability and performance, the team will certainly not be able to keep him in the offseason, so although he can score 14.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 49 games for the Green Army, the Green Army still sent him to the Rockets before the trade deadline in exchange for Theis on the inside.

The Rockets have been on a rebuilding journey since Harden left, and Schroder has not been part of the team's future plans, so Schroder became a free agent again after the Rockets played the remaining 15 games. Embarrassingly, it was the Lakers who signed Schroder in the summer of 2022, and this time his contract became 1 year and $2.64 million, which is ironic.

However, after returning to the Lakers, Schroder's performance is still obvious to all, although the 29-year-old suffered a certain injury at the beginning of the season, but after his comeback, he immediately integrated into the team's system, his ability to fight on the offensive end is really good, and the offensive output has a certain guarantee, and finally he handed over 12.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists, and helped the Lakers reach the Western Conference Finals again after 3 years, but unfortunately still lost to the powerful Nuggets.

This time, in the face of Schroder, who became a free agent again, the Lakers did not make a high offer, but let him make his own choice. And after Schroder was faced with a two-year offer worth $26 million, he chose the Raptors. In this year's FIBA arena, Schroeder, as the first core of the German team, played a superstar performance, and on the stage of the semifinals of the Men's Basketball World Cup, he scored 17 points and 9 assists against the powerful American men's basketball team to help the team overcome the opponent.

In the final, he scored 28 points and made a fatal layup in the final minute to help Germany win the championship. With such a strong performance, he was not only selected for the best team of the event, but also became the MVP of the tournament, which can be described as the biggest winner.

performed well, but it was difficult to escape the fate of transfer.

After returning to the NBA, Schroder is still able to help the team with his excellent breakthrough and outside projection, although not as outstanding as in the FIBA arena, but he is fully capable of starting any NBA team. In the victory over his old club Hawks on December 14, Schroder also scored 17 points and successfully broke the 10,000-point career personal scoring mark.

However, although his individual ability is indeed worthy of recognition, Schroder still cannot escape the fate of being traded by the team, and he was once again used as a trade chip and sent by the team to the Nets. This season, the Nets are the belly of the East, and the final record is only 32-50, and the 30-year-old Schroder has no choice but to go home to fish. I don't know if Schroeder will regret it now when he recalls the large contract he rejected 3 years ago?
