Dennis Schröder is in the first year of a solid two-year, $26 million deal, with the Toronto Raptors, but the point guard had a chance at a bigger pay day a few years ago. It was reported in 2021 that Schroder turned down a four-year, $84 million extension in his first year playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Fans have since criticized Schröder’s decision, as the veteran could have made substantially more money by staying in Los Angeles. However, the 30-year-old claims that his representation at the time advised him to turn down the offer.
“And I would have signed it,” Schröder said, via Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. “I would never just leave money on the table. My mom didn’t raise me that way.”
