You have got to be joking.
It definitely is a joke.
When the gifted young point guard from Germany was asked whether he was given a "promise" to be drafted in the first round of the June 27 NBA draft, he grinned and said, "Nobody has talked to me. ... I'm just hoping to go in the first round."
.
Schröder's agent, Alex Saratsis, tried to squelch the Schröder "promise" as well.
.
"I don't know where that came from," Saratsis said. "I don't know anything about that."
.
You take all this information and mix it up with MacMullan's assertion that Paul Millsap was and is Danny's "Plan A" and you can still see Schroeder as part of the Celtics' blueprint for the future. If you've seen video of Schroeder, you can see why scouts have compared him to Rajon Rondo. They've got similar builds and similar games.
.
I can absolutely see a scenario where Utah picks Schroeder at #14 and does a sign-and-trade deal with Millsap for Rondo and the #16 pick. Maybe Danny didn't exactly "promise" that he'd draft Schroeder, but he may have intimated that he'll end up in Boston one way or another.
Here's some Schroeder stuff from CelticsBlog:
Schroder and Millsap for Rondo and the #16 pick? I would do it without even thinking twice.
And it would play into the tank since Rondo will still be out. Then for the start of the 14-15 season we bring in Rondo and Wiggins.![]()
Schroder and Millsap for Rondo and the #16 pick? I would do it without even thinking twice.
I would do Schro, Sap, and the 21 for Rondo with no hesitation.
Here is the new video for Schroe:

Did anyone watch the new scout video of Dennis?
I would do Schroder, Millsap, #21, orangello, and #46 for Rondo with no hesitation.
