Dennis Schroder Contract History: How much has the Boston Celtics point guard made so far in NBA earnings?
Dennis Schroder ended his stint at the LA Lakers after a disappointing exit in the NBA playoffs. He looked a great pick for them initially, but as the season progressed his performances deteriorated. The German was brought into the team to play a supporting role in initiating the offense. However, he failed to handle the pressure of the postseason.
Dennis Schroder started all the games in the series against Phoenix. He averaged 14.3 PPG and looked short of his potential best. Looking at his performance early on in the season, the Lakers offered him a four year $84,000,000 contract. The German rejected that deal, as he was looking for something above $100,000,000.
His below-par performance in the playoffs meant that his demand for a lucrative contract would not be met. This led Dennis Schroder to sign for the Boston Celtics. He was offered a one-year mid-cap level deal for the taxpayer mid-level exception at $5,890,000. The point guard signed that deal and became a Celtics player.
Dennis Schroder has been in the league for eight years. The Celtics will be the fourth team he has played for in his NBA career. In today's article, we mention all of his contracts with the previous franchises and his overall earnings in the NBA.
