Year after year, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> are tied to almost every single big name in free agency. As it usually happens with big-market teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA,</a> their fans always ensure that they’ll get <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Rumors-Two-All-Stars-want-to-join-the-Lakers-20210724-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple stars</a> every summer.
This year isn’t the exception to that rule, as the Lakers are reportedly on the market for an upgrade at the point guard position. That means that their fans are already picturing the likes of Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, or Kyle Lowry wearing the purple and gold.
Nonetheless, ESPN’s insider Adrian Wojnarowski doesn’t see that happening as of now, as he believes that the Lakers are pretty much stuck with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/dennis-schroder-gets-brutally-honest-about-his-future-with-the-lakers-20210604-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dennis Schroder</a> because they don’t have the means to replace him.

<h2>Adrian Wojnarowski Says Lakers Won’t Get A Better Point Guard, Will Have To Settle For Dennis Schroder</h2>
“They cannot replace [Dennis Schröder] if he leaves…Almost every team I’ve talked to in the league has been offered some combination of Kuz and KCP … and that’s not going to get them back a point guard of Dennis’s stature. I still think in the end, there’s a deal to be made for him to stay with the Lakers,” Wojnarowski said on the Woj &amp; Lowe podcast.

The Lakers are hard-capped right now and, besides Anthony Davis and LeBron James; they simply don’t have any valuable assets. Truth be told, neither Kentavious Caldwell-Pope nor Kyle Kuzma are appealing pieces for any other team.
So, with Schroder reportedly eyeing a big payment in the offseason, other teams aren’t likely to overpay for a player whose ceiling is Sixth Man of the Year. That means that the Lakers and Schroder are… pretty much stuck with each other. It’s not ideal for either side, but it’s just the way it goes in this business sometimes.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> have some interesting decisions to make ahead of the next <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> season. They don’t have much cap space, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/how-does-the-nba-draft-lottery-work-20210622-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high draft picks</a>, or valuable trade assets to try and get another star to the Staples Center.
But one thing’s for sure: the Lakers always get what they want. Moreover, LeBron James always getswhat he wants, so Rob Pelinka will most definitely find a way to get through all the hurdles and land a third All-Star for his roster sooner or later.
Then again, things could get kind of tricky for him, as he’d need to sign-and-trade Dennis Schroder and pair him with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kyle-kuzma-mocks-kevin-durant-twitter-lebron-james-meme-as-lakers-beat-nets--20210411-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyle Kuzma </a>and other assets to get something nice in return, and that doesn’t seem likely anymore.

<h2>Report: Kyle Kuzma And Dennis Schroder Didn’t Get Along, Especially In The Playoffs</h2>
According to a recent report, Schroder and Kuzma didn’t get along and feuded throughout the season. So, Schroder has virtually no incentive to agree to a sign-and-trade to continue playing with a guy he doesn’t like:
“League sources say Dennis Schroder and Kyle Kuzma feuded throughout the season, with things going further south throughout the #Lakers’ first-round series loss to Phoenix. Interesting note to consider heading into the draft and free agency,” reported Jordan Schultz of ESPN.
Schroder declined multiple offers from the Lakers and it’s clear that he’s not exactly committed to the franchise. Kuzma recently said that he could be a star if he had more chances to play, so these reports are unsurprising.
Both players are so full of themselves and do a lot of talking but not a lot of playing, especially when it matters the most. They both have difficult characters and it seems like they outgrew their welcome in the organization.

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-64"> </div>
</div>

But with Schroder being in control of his destiny, the Lakers will most likely have to find another way to lure top-tier talent to the team, as Kuzma and he alone don’t hold a lot of value, but together; they could round up a decent trade package.

Report: Kyle Kuzma's beef with Dennis Scrhoder instensified in the playoffs - Bolavip US

Ever since he made it to the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rings-teams-with-most-championships-20200929-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> reigning champions</a> in the offseason, Dennis Schroder has been one of the most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/dennis-schroder-huge-salary-demands-could-lure-him-away-from-the-lakers-20210326-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polarizing figures</a> around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a>. He’s been good for them on the court but a bit of a distraction away from it.
Schroder was coming off a career season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He finished second in the Sixth Man of the Year award ranking and was going to give the Lakers another ball-handler and playmaker to defend their title.
However, he didn’t seem too convinced of his future with the team, as he turned down an $80+ million extension and was said to want a bigger role and paycheck, presumably with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Knicks.</a>

<h2>Lakers News: Dennis Schroder Talks About His Future.</h2>
So, after taking down ‘PG for the Los Angeles Lakers’ from his bios on social media, most people speculated that the German guard was on his way out. Nonetheless, his latest statementmakes us things that he’s actually looking forward to being back with the team:
“We’re going to be back. I’mma work my a– off to come back here, to give everything because we owe them fans one,” Schroder started. “I want to win a championship. I’mma work my a– off this summer and come back and be me.”
“Lakers they didn’t do nothing to me, they’re great, got the top two players in the league,” the guard added.“Everybody in the locker room is great. So at the end of the day, like I said, I want to be here and win a championship. That’s not even a question. And it wasn’t about money because everybody who knows it’s not about money either. Of course, you want to be fair. But at the end of the day not everything is about money for me and my family. At the end of the day, if everything’s good, we’re going to come back and win a championship next year.”

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-73"> </div>
</div>

Schroder had some big games this season with LeBron James and Anthony Davis out and his averages of 15.4 points and 5.8 assists per game came in pretty handily when they needed him. Then again, those aren’t exactly All-NBA numbers, so he would be better off looking for a deal he can actually pay back on the court.

Dennis Schroder gets brutally honest about his future with the Lakers - Bolavip US

The <a href="http://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> were eager to win back-to-back <a href="http://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>championships this season, making huge moves in the summer to surround<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis with even more weapons.
They made a run at the reigning Sixth Man of the Year in Montrezl Harrell and also traded for the guy who came in second: Dennis Schroder. Ironically, Schroder had said that he didn’t want to play for the Lakers just a couple of weeks before that move.
Fast-forward to today and it seems like he hasn’t changed his mind. Apparently, the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atlanta%C2%A0hawks-t101420" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta Hawks</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/oklahoma-city-thunder-t91653" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder </a>player isn’t satisfied with his diminished role and feels like he’s a top-tier point guard and should be paid and treated as such.

<h2>Bleacher Report: Dennis Schroder Wants To Leave The Lakers</h2>
(Transcript via Fadeaway World)
“Back in March, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported Schroder had declined a four-year, $84 million extension offer from the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this season (h/t Dan Feldman of Pro Basketball Talk). The two sides’ inability to strike a deal played a factor in the Lakers’ pursuit of Lowry at the trade deadline, sources said.
Multiple league executives who have overlapped with Schroder told B/R they believe the ball-handler is looking to be paid like a top-tier point guard, and his role in Los Angeles may not satisfy his interest in being the leading playmaker for a marquee franchise.
“He sees himself as a big-market player, and obviously he wants to start,” said the veteran personnel man.
New York could present that opportunity for Schroder, and the Knicks are indeed considering a run at him in free agency, sources said. They appear likely to re-sign Derrick Rose as head coach Tom Thibodeau’s reliable reserve floor general, but perhaps Schroder can be the answer for their’ hole in their opening lineup on a deal worth north of $90 million.”

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-86"> </div>
</div>

While it’s true that Schroder brings a lot of energy and is a solid playmaker and streaky scorer, his career averages of 14.3 points and 4.7 rebounds on 43% shooting don’t exactly help his case as an elite guard.
He’s too good to come off the bench, yet not that good to be a primary playmaker or marquee players as he feel he is, so he’s likely to walk away in free agency and hope another team is willing to overpay for his services.

NBA rumors: Dennis Schroder is eager to leave the Lakers

NBA rumors: Dennis Schroder is eager to leave the Lakers - Bolavip US

The<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Lakers </a>made a huge move by acquiring Dennis Schroder from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the offseason. He was coming off the best season of his career and nearly won the Sixth Man of the Year award.
Schroder’s playmaking, streaky scoring, and backcourt defense have been great for the Lakers this season. You won’t find many players around the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> with that kind of skill set, and that’s why a team is likely to overpay for his services in free agency.
The Lakers would love to keep Schroder on board for the long run on a deal similar or lower to what he’s making right now. However, it seems like the German guard is going to demand quite the pay raise in the summer:
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-61"> </div>
</div>
“Sources said the sides remain far apart in extension negotiations, with Schröder, who is making $15.5 million in the final year of a four-year contract, seeking a multi-year extension that would pay him more than $20 million per year. That gap contributed to the Lakers’ willingness to include Schröder in trade talks,” Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen &amp; Roll reported.
<h2>Dennis Schroder Says He’ll Explore His Options In The Offseason</h2>
“It’s a crazy business. At the end of the day, I want to play the season out… I for sure want to be a Laker, but I want to see my options… I want to see my options, but I want to be a Laker…It needs to be fair for both sides, and I’m going to stay with that,” Schroder sentenced, as quoted by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
That being said, it’s unlikely that the Lakers will be willing to meet Schroder’s salary demands. They’ve already committed a lot of money into<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James </a>and Anthony Davis and will likely pursue another star in the offseason.

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-88"> </div>
</div>

This year, Schroder is posting averages of 15.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 three-pointers per game on 31.6 minutes a night. Those are decent numbers, for sure, but not worthy of 20 million per year.
