The Los Angeles Lakers may not have too hard of a time getting compensation for one of their starters.
Getty Dennis Schroder and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers have some big choices to make this offseason. With money tight, the team will have to get creative if they hope to add new pieces to the roster. Dennis Schroder will be the most interesting player to watch for the team. He was last season’s most notable addition and while he played well at times, he struggled in the playoffs. Also, according to ESPN’s Romona Shelburne, Schroder “frustrated” the Lakers at times. If the team decides they don’t want him back, they’ll have to find a replacement. One key option they could have is involving Schroder in a sign and trade. The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that teams would be interested in that possibility. “[The Lakers] have Dennis Schroder, that’s going to be their biggest free agent piece,” Charania said, via Stadium. “Either you bring him back or you use him in a sign and trade. I expect the Lakers to be open to either possibility. Those are open for discussion. You’ll have multiple teams, I’m told, involved with the Dennis Schroder sweepstakes.
