Well, well, well, how the turntables have…for Dennis Schroder.
Schroder is re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers on a 1-year deal. The contract reportedly is for $2.64 million.
Schroder, 29, played for the Lakers in the 2020-2021 season. He averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.1 minutes per game.
Schroder turned down a 4-year, $84 million contract extension offer from the Lakers. He wasn’t happy with his role on the team, and his decision to reject the contract turned out to be a mistake.
The veteran guard only played for $5.89 million last season. He was recently playing in the EuroBasket competition and looking good.
From rejecting $21 million a year to now signing for $2.64 million, Schroder really screwed up, but he acknowledged his mistake. He seemed to want a reunion with the Lakers and even petitioned LeBron James for another shot. His wish has now come true.
