Dennis Schroder has $103m in career earnings from his NBA contracts.

Also, most people who work for someone else don't have a contract with a buyout. They can be fired on the spot and paid out nothing. Do you think he realizes that?

You just reminded me he should have double that, but he turned down a ~$96m deal because he's such a smart, self-aware guy.

The #1 indictment of Schroder is that Dirk, his national team teammate, told the Mavs to STFA from him.

Also just read that he owns a team in Germany and presumably has traded guys. Just an incredible statement. His "solution" to this "problem" is to have something in the next CBA that says you can't trade guys, lmao

Somebody on KOC's pod said Lebron was 3rd on LAL last year in PnR reps as the ball handler. He's already far less ball dominant than he used to be. 3-4 years ago, he and Luka would've been a weird pairing but it works a lot better now.

Yeah. The combo would have been a disaster earlier in his career/prime years.

I wouldn't call it a disaster, but it would have been a redundancy with diminished value. Lebron won titles with Kyrie and Wade, who were both ball-dominant players and Luka went to a final with Kyrie. I mean, Wade was not really an off-ball player at all and that's when Lebron added a devastating screen game to his offense. It's why they didn't win the 2011 final, but they figured it out with time.
