“#Dennis Schroder signs one-year, $5.9 million deal with Celtics<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

From $84 million to $5.9 million.<\/p>\n

Dennis Schroder signed a one-year, $5.9 million contract with the Celtics Tuesday afternoon after turning down a four-year, $84 million contract extension from the Lakers in March. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported<\/a> the signing and Schroder\u00a0later confirmed it<\/a>\u00a0on his Instagram page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old point guard turned down a monster extension earlier in the year and bet on himself, but financially, it backfired \u2013 by about $80 million.<\/p>\n

Schroder got injured late last season and struggled in the Lakers\u2019 first-round loss to the\u00a0Suns \u2013\u00a0the Lakers responded by trading for nine-time NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook and signing a variety of veterans earlier to replace Schroder earlier in the offseason.<\/p>\n

Schroder averaged 15.4 points per game<\/a> on 43.7 percent shooting from the field and 33.5 percent shooting from deep in the 2020-21 regular season for the Lakers. The year prior on the Thunder, the Brunswick, Germany native averaged 18.9 points per game on 46.9 percent shooting from the field and 38.5 percent from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

During free agency, Schroder was the odd man out on the point guard market. Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry, Lonzo Ball, Mike Conley, Spencer Dinwiddie, Devonte\u2019 Graham and Derrick Rose all got their money, leaving Schroder with slim pickings. <\/p>\n

The Celtics needed a floor general<\/a> after trading Kemba Walker to the Thunder \u2013 he was eventually bought out and signed with the Knicks \u2013 and they snagged Schroder to a cheap deal to play alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
