IDK about intelligently calculated. He has nothing to gain from saying it now. It just doesnt make sense to me to state something publicly when you can just do it privately in-house.
Dennis Schroeder "will seek other opportunities to be a starter"...
- Thread starter stitches
- Start date

Kind of hard to believe this is a genuine statement. I don't mind Schroeder but seriously .. top 3 PG ..

Anyone who's followed this kid shouldn't be surprised.
He was the same in Germany-- never cared about making selfish statements, and drawing the ire of the team's coaching & professinal staff.
Also, for the 30th time: the Hawks aren't stupid. Short of Schroeder demanding for a trade, there is absolutely zero reason for him to be dealt. Again: focusing on Teague makes much more realistic sense for this team. If Teague is re-upped, THAT'S when you start talking trades (a la Reggie Jackson).

A couple more things:
-dennis scrodum for Dante is probably the stupidest trade idea I've seen in months
-dennis really showed that three-point shooting touch in the playoffs through SIXTEEN games (or shooting touch in general)
-PG being prolific in team with proper spacing and talented athletes-- and regressing when he goes to a team that lacks both. We've seen the Rajon Rondo story before.

Do you want a cookie?
I mean at first ATL will try to sort it out. And long term they'll have to feature him more, or be put in a spot where he either causes trouble within the team by being visibly annoyed or highjacks possessions on the court to showcase himself more.
Both are not sustainable for a long timespan. Will be interesting how it plays out.
I also wouldn't trade Exum for him.

Yes he does. We don't know if he said such things previously internally and they were not addressed enough for his liking.
Then he plays a good Eurobasket and expect Budenholzer to build some sets that play to his strengths.
After the preseason he's disappointed it didn't play out how he expected and now he's trying new ways to improve the situation for himself.

I will be onboard with making a trade-package for Schroeder after next offseason (one of few competent backups playing behind a PG) if 1) Teague signs with Atlanta, and 2) we whiff in free agency next offseason, with the implication that Exum (or Burke) is not our answer at the 1.
Until then, let's please plz put this Dennis stuff to a rest.
