Dennis Schroeder "will seek other opportunities to be a starter"...

Anyone else remember that IG post from Schroder the day he worked out for the Jazz.. He wanted to be drafted 14th.. Wouldn't be suprised if he's still got Utah in mind as a place to takeover..

There seems to be some confusion about Dennis in this thread

- He's way better than Trey.. Trey's a fiery competitor, Dennis gets after it more though - he plays with that same fire you see from Rudy.

-He's a floor general, not a volume shooter like Trey..

- Dennis is much more dangerous with the ball in his hands.. And vastly less predictable (How many times did Ibaka block Trey the other night?? - seemed like 3x in the first q)

- He shoots over 40% !! (wow - Trey has really set the bar low..)

- Along with being a floor general. He's also equipped with the quicks to attack the basket and play pesky fullcourt defense, he's also got a good enough 3pt shot to keep the defense honest.

- Turned 22 last month, any argument that he's not on track to be a starter usually will avoid his age.

- If the aim is the 8th seed, trade them Trey and a handful of future picks.. I honestly think it could spark a playoff run..

- IMO Dennis has the potential to shoot 4-5 FT's on 10 FGA's per game

Good post.
if there is any way that we could get dennis by only giving up burke and picks or some junk then we would have to do it right?
As long as we dont give up burks, hood, hayward, gobert, favors, or exum then we all agree that we should get this dude right?

I think it would be hard to get a deal done with these restrictions. --Unless the Hawks are in the mood to horde picks, which don't help you win games.

I agree. And i think giving up any of the guys i mentioned is too much. Maybe they would want lyles? Lyles, Trey, and a first? Would that be enough? Throw pleiss in too

I doubt it. It's not exactly an easy trade to construct, especially the part where it makes sense for ATL's playoff push this year.. The Hawks will probably only pull the trigger if its a rip-off, or if somehow they're sold on Trey,

I don't think Lyles is tradeable either.. It'd be for pennies on the dollar compared to trading the pick live during the draft. I see no reason to make that concession so early. Trading Lyles this early, would kinda be like The Nets trading Favors so early.. I can't advocate that..

I get your point but favors was a #3 pick and iirc the best high school prospect in the ocuntry. Favors had way more potential than lyles and a higher floor due to his size and athleticism.
 
Talent wise yes it makes sense to potentially go after him, but when has the Jazz ever gone after complaining players? You really think a 3rd year guy bitching about starting fits the "mold" of a Jazz player? What happens when Exum gets back?
 
Having seen Dennis, Rudy, and Tibor this summer in Köln I would welcome schröder with open arms!
He stood out on a court full of talented players. His presense, flair, and smooth play were easy
to notice. I was a big supporter of drafting him a few years back, but hes even better than I thought
he'd be at this stage. Is he a superstar no, BUT I think he good enough to lead us as a starter.
He still has a lot more ceiling left. He's a team player, can play up tempo, and is sexy as hell
when he passes.


The reason we wont get him is Dante Exum, but I'd trade Dante + a first for Dennis now.
 
If you want to win it all in the NBA, you have to have true star power. Exum has that potential; Schro, as much as I like him, does not.

Strange how two people can see two completely different things. I see very little star potential in Dante. He has no swagger, and is too timid.
I'd like to see another season before I completely write him off as a star, but first year was alarming. He was scared.

Dennis is the exact opposite. Lots of swagger, and confidence. He looks like a star on the court. He is certainly flashier.

We shall see. I hope I'm wrong because because its highly unlikely we would change course and go with Dennis now.
One thing I love about Dante is he does play within the system. That will make him solid at least. Worst case scenario is
we have a solid tall, bigger PG. I can live with that.

Schroder scored 16 points in the 4th quarter of a playoff game.. That's more then Exum's highest game last year..

I personally think Exum and Schroder can play together, (with the ball in Schroders hands).

Why would ATL, whos obviously a contender in the East, with a mature roster - trade Schroder, their best bench player, for a 20 year old with a bummed knee anyways? that part of this conversation eludes me.

Because he might not want to stay on as a bench player.
