Waiting for more than 2 months, Schröder is the meat and potatoes again! Cuban took the initiative, the Lakers are afraid of being cut off

The door to the NBA free trade market has been open for more than two months. And in this past period, the league teams to attract reinforcements to fill the work, basically came to an end. However, as of now, there are still a lot of players, still waiting for their next contract. For example, all-star veterans Anthony and Howard, and Bridges and Harrell, are in trouble with the lawsuit. But in the league, there is such a special player, in the last season turned out an average of 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists, but never found a new job.

It's no exaggeration to say that as a player who outputs 13.5 points per game on the scoring end, he's perfectly capable of playing on any team, playing the role of a bench player, and even starting on some of the teams with lineup renewals. And, with an average of 4.6 assists per game, he is also able to lead the team's second unit players to play with higher self-confidence. Naive, in the past two months or so, he has been in the state of no one to ask.

After waiting for more than two months, it finally again became the meat and potatoes

He is the original threat to the L.A. Lakers to send him a billion-dollar contract Schroeder. It must be admitted that although after rejecting the Lakers' big 4-year contract of up to $80 million, Schroder did knock himself out of the running, so much so that he could only get a $5.9 million mid-level exception last season. But his strength is still quite a bit better than the vast majority of role players in the league. Yes, the fact that he was able to attract the Lakers to offer him a big contract of $80 million is evidence of Schroeder's uncommonness.

The two-month wait for no team to sign, partly because Schröder himself can not recognize the reality, on the other hand, with the league's chaotic free agency has not a small relationship. But now with the Bucks closing the window for trading superstar players and the Jazz sending Mitchell to the Cavaliers, the free trade market is active again. According to a report by NBA Hall of Famer Mark Stern, Schroder, who was once previously unavailable, is going to be the meat and potatoes again as the start of the new season gets closer. According to the report, Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has authorized general manager Nick Collison and vice president of basketball operations Michael Finley to travel to the European tournament to examine Schroder's specific performance.

The Mavericks have still done a very successful job of bringing in reinforcements this off-season. Not only did they sign McGee to replace the absence of Porzingis, but they also welcomed Wood from the Houston Rockets to handle the front line. Compared to last season's roster, the Mavericks have gone up more than a notch for the new season. And it does make a lot of practical sense to continue to bring in a veteran ball-handler to help string together the team's offense off the bench. Before the Mavericks took the initiative, the Lakers, from Los Angeles, had already put Schroder in consideration for reinforcements.

Cuban took the initiative, the Lakers are afraid of being cut off

As early as the first time the free market opened, Schroder had taken the initiative to the Lakers, and called out team leader James, expressing the idea of wanting to win a championship together in Los Angeles. But unfortunately, neither the Lakers' management nor James himself made any reaction to Schröder's gesture. And, although the Lakers had expressed their desire to bring in Schroeder after learning that the Nets had closed the trade window and Mitchell had joined the Cavaliers, no substantive action was ever made.

The Lakers plan to bring in Schröder is afraid to fall through again as the Maverick team takes the initiative, with no big gains this offseason.
