The Los Angeles Lakers will bring back Dennis Schroder. This signing surprised everyone knowing that the Lakers still have Westbrook. Follow for more NBA contracts news and updates.
After a terrible decision last 2021 offseason, the German Guard turned down the 4 years $84 million offered by the Lakers. A year after he came back with the Lakers for one year after his impressive Eurobasket 2022 campaign as he led Germany to a podium finish after 17 years. Also last year, Boston Celtics was able to sign the guard to a one year $5.9 million but traded to the Houston Rockets during the middle of the season.

There are various reports from legit sports news outlets that Schroder also receives an interest from Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns. This signing of Schroder is a bit confusing in many aspects. First, the Lakers still have an All-Star caliber point guard in Russel Westbrook, they also signed Patrick Beverky and Loonie Walker which create tensions on getting quality minutes. If Schroder stays with lakers last offseason, things will be very different and he could have more chemistry with lebron and AD, a quality playing time, and he also probably have much salary compared to his new contract. He failed miserably betting on himself and his value tremendously went down and just for a $2.6 million one year fully guaranteed deal with his former team.
“To play with AD and LeBron,” Schroder said last year. “It was an honor to play with them and see every single day how they work and how they do things on the court, off the court, it’s just a blessing. It’s the reason I’m grateful that I’ve seen it but for me, personally, it wasn’t the right fit. “That’s the reason I was hesitating a little bit (to re-sign). The way I played is not how Dennis played over his whole career in the NBA so that’s the reason I was like, ‘Okay, I have to see how it’s going next.”
His comeback with the Lakers is a statement and an answer from all the criticism he received from the NBA fans and the Lakers organization itself — a redeem season he was waiting all the time and run it back with Lebron and Anthony Davis with the aim of bringing back the Larry O’Brien trophy in the Purple and Gold. During his Eurobasket campaign, there was a rumor that lebron will be attending the final day of the tournament and witness his new teammate had a show in the Mercedes Benz Arena.
“People told me that about it five days ago,” Schroder addressed the rumors about LeBron’s attendance in Berlin. “But I texted him right away, and he said he was not coming.”
“Yessir!! So damn happy to have you back!! You’re like that! LFG!!!” LeBron James posted on Instagram straight after the news about Schroder’s return to Los Angeles.
