NBA News Roundup: Twitter reacts to Dennis Schroeder joining the LA Lakers

Oklahoma City Thunder v Houston Rockets - Game Seven

As per the latest NBA news, the LA Lakers are set to acquire a key piece in the form of Dennis Schroeder from OKC Thunder. The LA Lakers will send their 28th pick in the NBA Draft 2020 and Danny Green the other way to facilitate the move. The Lakers were targetting a replacement for the guard position, and it seems like they have finally got their man.

Schroeder was incredible for the OKC Thunder last year and helped the young team reach the playoffs. The German point guard was also a contender for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award but lost out to the LA Clippers's Montrezl Harrell.

Since the NBA news broke on Twitter, fans and analysts chimed in with their opinions. Let's check out some tweets which hilariously capture the mood around this update -

Schroder to the Lakers surely means Rondo signing with the Clippers. Advantage: Clippers.

The 28th pick and Danny Green is disrespectful for guy like Dennis Schroeder. He’s coming off a career year where he should’ve won 6MOTY.

"With Dennis Schröder, the Lakers could get another solid playmaker who has become an effective catch-and-shoot threat as well.

He made 41% of 273 catch-and-shoot 3s in 2019-20."@kirkgoldsberry | #Lakeshow pic.twitter.com/TDDdKS5uCQ

if the city of Los Angeles gets rid of Danny Green and gets to replace him with Dennis Schroeder they should throw a parade immediately, and Stephen A should drop a follow up to this pic.twitter.com/TI1qa60sTi
