Dennis Schröder Discussion: Raptor

Annual passes and a suite at the Grand Californian at Disneyland, for any and every time he likes, may be a decent sweetener.

 

Gotta include Genie+ for every ride too, can't have a 7 footer waiting in line.

 

Scotto and Buha on what they think happens with DS this summer

Doesn't sound very optimistic.

 

I disagree that he’s a starter. He’s a good backup for sure.

 

His quickness is irreplaceable, ya he has moments where he struggles but his speed is a real upper hand IMO.

 

so these reporters think Russell’s not better than anyone’s starting pg but Schroeder is?

 

Buha on if he thinks DS will be back

 

Austin should be running the point with the starters and DLo playing off ball since he’s basically just a scorer who sometimes can assist. Dennis is a decent backup.

 

A Real Center is the biggest priority.
Max can handle wing duty in a lot of matchups. We don’t have any money to bring in a big time wing option unless someone inexplicably is in love with DLo and wants him over the most coveted position in the League.

 

He can handle SGs, but I think we need to address the SF spot still. Max will be at least a year away from sliding a position up defensively. Bringing back Stanley Johnson is probably the most realistic, cost efficient move.

It's also a wing heavy draft, we could do something there.

 

I agree that we will still need add another wing. Max may or may not be ready- this remains to be seen until the games are played.

 

Austin can barely bring the ball up the court and get us into the offense against pressure. He's not a PG. That's ok too

 

I'm interested in what kind of contract he thinks that he deserves myself.

 

Dude has the best court vision on the team, but whatever you like to convince yourself of.

 

That's CAP..Lebron has the best court vision on the team. It's not even a serious topic of discussion.

Austin is a scorer that has the ability to be a secondary facilitator. There is absolutely nothing at all wrong with that.

 

Back to Dennis...what's fair market value for him?

 

I think his agent will point to Tyus Jones at $14m.

Teams will be looking more at the Patty Mills $6.8M to the GP2 $8.7M range. Could see him getting the $7m Room Exception from teams. Most we can give him is $5m tax payers mid level (unless we get nuts this summer), I think he's worth more than that. We'd have to hope he likes Ham and LA enough to take that haircut.

Whether he's my choice to spend the resource really depends on how we're able to address our other needs this summer. Better backup big, shooting, another backup SF, and addressing both starting and backup PG.

 

I like Dennis but he has to do what's best for him and his family.

 

No, that’s your opinion. It’s not a fact, no matter how inflated your ego remains.

NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. Argue the post not the poster please.
