The strong performances at the European Championship have paid off. Dennis Schröder returns to the club where he felt really comfortable. Much to the delight of a superstar.
After his outstanding performances at the European Championships in Cologne and Berlin, Dennis Schröder should be on the up again in the NBA.
At the Los Angeles Lakers, Germany’s best basketball player, alongside superstar LeBron James, wants to forget the weak last season with the Boston Celtics and the Houston Rockets, where Schröder only played a supporting role last season.
In the 2020/21 season, on the other hand, Schröder showed strong performances with the Lakers and was about to extend his contract at the time, worth millions. However, the 29-year-old point guard gambled last summer, so there was no deal with the Lakers.
Lakers star looking forward to seeing you again
A year later, the reunion finally takes place, which James also seems to have pushed for. “Yes Sir! So damn happy to have you back!” wrote James, 37, via Instagram. Schröder is also happy to be able to play for the glorious Lakers again. “It’s an honor to play for the @Lakers. Can’t wait to start!” Schroeder wrote on Instagram.
The last year hasn’t felt right. He felt misunderstood and nobody really knew the story. He is now coming back to the largest organization to do everything right. “I’ll give everything I’ve got, every single day!!”, wrote the nimble defender, who had 21.6 points and 7.3 assists per game up until the game for third place in the European Championship.
Million fee for Schröder
The strong performances in the Germany jersey did not go unnoticed in the USA either. “We are very pleased to welcome Dennis Schröder back to the Lakers,” said Vice President Rob Pelinka according to the club’s announcement. Details of the contract were not released. According to media information, it should be a one-year contract worth $ 2.64 million (2.64 million euros).
With the signing of Schröder, Russell Westbrook’s days with the Californians are likely to be numbered. The Lakers are just looking for a buyer for the 33-year-old Allstar. The duo under construction at the Lakers will be called Patrick Beverley and Dennis Schröder in the coming season.
