The Los Angeles Lakers revamped their roster last summer and opted to move on from many core players from previous squads: Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Alex Caruso, Montrezl Harrell and more.
One of those players was Dennis Schroder, who the Lakers acquired via trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Schroder came to be the team’s starting point guard and third option behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but he reportedly turned down an $84 million extension and failed to produce in the playoffs.
