>With Detroit on a 13-game losing streak and quickly slumping to a 12-70 pace, Jerami Grant is increasingly regarded by rival teams as one of the NBA’s most likely players to be traded before the Feb. 10 trade deadline.
>Also climbing on Most Likely To Be Traded lists leaguewide: Boston’s Dennis Schröder. The Celtics do not want to break up their Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown duo, no matter how much skepticism continues to circulate about how well they function together, and mixed signals persist about new team president of basketball operations Brad Stevens’ true willingness to part with Marcus Smart.
> Boston Celtics
>Rival teams expect the Celtics to be open to talks around guard Dennis Schröder, who inked a one-year deal with Boston in the offseason but has had a strong season that likely prices him out of a potential re-signing. Schröder is averaging 17.5 points, 4.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game this season.

> Celtics coach Ime Udoka had this to say of the Tatum/Brown/Smart/Schröder lineup: > > “We just can't dig ourselves that hole, come out flat for no reason. > > It's habits and we need to break -- not trying to go isolation with all > those, you know we got Marcus, Jaylen, Jayson and Dennis starting. > They need to learn to play together.

>Jayson Tatum: "I’m fine with, I guess, being the reason or the blamе guy. It doesn’t bother me at all. Understand it’s a long season, but we’re going to figure it out. I’m certain of it. I know we’ve got a lot of guys in there that’s gonna compеte, that’s gonna fight."
Translation from a German article with an Interview with Dennis Schröder:
"Nearly the whole team is vaccinated - only LeBron and I are not, I think."
"I can’t go into quarantine again, if that happens now, I‘ll miss a whole round in the playoffs. I can’t live with that"
Interesting that LeBron isn’t vaccinated, although that’s obviously his decision.
Schröder also said a reason to get vaccinated is that he wouldn’t miss another 14 days of basketball because of the health and safety protocol. Well he should’ve done it then.

I wonder if this is a sign of things to come. Hopefully Vogel told him he's coming off the bench today and he's pissed. Ever since the preseason when he came in demanding to be a starter it has been downhill. Also, I wonder if this means he is gone next year too. Interesting times ahead
Dennis Schröder (38 pts, 16-26 FG) has reached the 35-point mark for the second time in his nine-year NBA career (41, 3/20/18)
He currently has 38 points against the defending NBA Champions Milwaukee Bucks in overtime

I know the hype is to hate on Schroder right now but I saw him playing in Germany, he's really really talented. I can assure you, he's way better than $20M a year Lonzo y'all were thinking was fine some weeks ago. My point is, Schroder is very talented, but lacks focus sometimes. Like that smart, lazy guy in your class. So we'd be buying on his lowest and there's no reason he would play worse than he ever did. I really think the 80 million bag he's missed on (plus being in Boston) will work wonders on him. For all we love Marcus Smart we know he can only go so far, and I really think Dennis Schroder at his best might be the starting Point Guard in a championship team. What do you think about it?

Context:
>The Lakers can’t offer Paul anything remotely close to the $44.2 million player option he holds for next season without a sign-and-trade — and I imagine that the Suns would find it even more unpalatable to help them if Paul and Phoenix go their separate ways than they did years ago in the Steve Nash sign-and-trade. Yet it's even harder to imagine Paul wanting to relocate to the opposite coast to join the Knicks, regardless of how close he is to Knicks president of basketball operations Leon Rose, his former agent.
>A related aside: Seemingly daily discussion about the Lakers’ interest in various veteran guards not named Dennis Schröder increasingly suggest that the Schröder’s future is elsewhere.

Full Quote:
> The Los Angeles Lakers still have a few roster spots open and have weighed using one of them to sign former All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas, league sources say.
> The addition of Thomas is far from assured, sources stressed, but the Lakers are looking for additional backcourt punch as well as wing depth as they decide how to supplement the 12 veteran players they have under contract.
> The Boston Celtics have also had exploratory discussions about a reunion with Thomas, who unexpectedly blossomed into a two-time All-Star in Boston playing for Brad Stevens, now the Celtics' president of basketball operations. But Boston's needs have likely shifted after former Lakers guard Dennis Schröder — having spurned a four-year, $84 million contract extension from L.A. during the season — landed with the Celtics on a one-year, $5.9 million deal when Schröder’s free-agent market evaporated.
Croatia fall at home in a bit of surprise against a Germany team missing their best player, but that's not the fault of the Jazz sharpshooter. His 38 points are a new Olympic Qualifying Tournament record, beating out Dirk Nowitzki. Croatia had a 10 point lead in the fourth, but that faded thanks to great German defense down the stretch. Maodo Lo was the standout for the Germans, with 29/4/8. Germany will play Brazil in the final tomorrow, with the winner moving on to the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
EDIT: He was actually 12-14 from the FT line, my mistake.

OKC Fan just dropping by to wish you luck with Schröder. He was a great addition to our team and deserves to be paid and praised. You will learn to love his unique and firey contributions to your team ball style every single night. 💪🏼💪🏼
NBA fans love to see a player who can laugh at themselves. I think this would be a savvy way to endear himself to his detractors. I got this idea from the movie 8 mile. What do you think?

Seriously, been a rough few days for me but that bot makes me laugh every time. I know Dennis hasn’t been everyone’s favourite, but I am grateful for this meme which he has brought to the Lakers. Hope everyone is well and staying tuff🔥💯.
This is the second time he's deleted that from his bio. This is so weird. At this point, the dude has to be trolling correct?
Tweet >"Since he's been out, he got on me when Damian Jones set a pick and roll on the left wing and I found him for the alley-oop right away, he looked at me, he was like 'why can't you do that with me?'... We're still trying to figure it out. I think when he comes back, I'm going to put more pressure on myself to find him even more for the lobs because I think nobody can really stop that."
