Robert Horry Blasts Dennis Schröder Over Free Agency Situation: “You Are The Disaster Of Your Own Game Plan”

 

Early in the 2019-20 NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers offered Dennis Schröder a 4-year, $84 million contract extension that was eventually declined by the 27-year old point guard. Schroder was reportedly willing to stay, but was looking for a bigger pay raise at around $100-120 million.

Schröder had a good start for the Lakers and came in help when LeBron James and Anthony Davis were battling injuries in the regular season. However, an abysmal production in the playoffs quickly lowered his value and put him a tight situation in this year’s free agency.

Now, it appears that no team is expected to offer Schröder his desired asking price, let alone an $80-plus million contract that the Lakers initially offered before the offseason. As the market for Schröder remains quiet, the 27-year old point guard gets slapped with harsh reality from seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry.

 

“You said, ‘Oh, I want to return to the Lakers.’ But you wanted to play games. Now you are the disaster of your own game plan. You don’t know what you’re going to do. You probably lost about $60 million because you didn’t sign with the Lakers. Now you’re probably going to have to sign a one-year deal because I don’t think the Lakers are going to bring you back because they’re stacked now. They have no room for you.”

“He wanted to be a starter in this league,” the Lakers legend continued. Now wherever he goes, he’s going to go back to being a back-up. I just hope it doesn’t turn out like an IT situation where you pass up on all this money, and you can never recoup it.”
