Moments after getting eliminated by Spain in EuroBasket 2022, Dennis Schröder is back in the NBA after signing a one-year $2.64 million contract with the LA Lakers.

Schroder is signing a one-year, $2.64 million deal to return to the Lakers, sources said. twitter.com/ShamsCharania/…

Schröder guard averaged 21.6 points and 7.3 assists per game in the EuroBasket. He did this while shooting 43.1% from the field. Despite his incredible 30-point performance against Spain, Germany weren't able to progress in the competition.

After the game, reports of his new contract with the Lakers emerged. Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Schröder's deal. Many brought up the fact that he rejected a much more lucrative deal with the Lakers a few years back only to sign at a discount this year.

Dennis Schroeder is a better man than I am. No way my pride would let me go back to the Lakers for $2.6M after I turned down $84M and fumbled that bag. Ain't no way

I'll never get over how big of a bag fumbler Dennis Schroeder is.

Dennis Schroeder signing back with LA for 1 year 2.6M after turning down that 4 year 84M two years ago is hilarious fr 😂

In another world Dennis Schröder is earning $21M to play for the Lakers next season

Dennis Schröder gotta be one of the biggest bag fumblers in NBA history. He is the anti-Harrison Barnes.

Dennis Schroeder rejected a $21M/year, 4 year contract extension with the Lakers only to later sign for $5.9M with the Celtics.
Now he is back for $2.64M, potentially the biggest bag fumble in sports history.

Dennis Schröder's addition to the Lakers may cause a backcourt issue

The LA Lakers may have created a backcourt problem with the addition of Dennis Schröder. The Lakers already have Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley on their roster, and it remains to be seen how Schröder will fit into the team.

The question that fans immediately thought of when the Lakers signed the German was, "Who will be the starting point guard?" All three guards have a strong case for being in the starting lineup.

Westbrook is an All-Star guard who's capable of running the offense. Patrick Beverley is also a capable starter. One aspect that separates Beverley from the others is his defensive skills. Although not a prolific scorer, the three-time All-Defensive guard is a threat from downtown. Pat Bev averages 37% from 3-point range.

Lastly, there's Dennis Schröder. He was the starting point guard for the Lakers in his previous stint with the team. He averaged 15.4 points and 5.8 assists per game. His quick style of play didn't suit Frank Vogel's system, but with Darvin Ham in charge, he might be able to play his brand of basketball more effectively.

With the season just a few weeks away, the Lakers will have to decide who they want to move forward with as the starting point guard.

Schröder's run with Germany was impressive, but with Westbrook and Beverley also on the roster, he might go back to being a sixth man.
