There's something about Schroder in particular that other players just don't like. There have been whispers about it since he was drafted, and try as I have, I can't get anyone to tell me what it is. It's not just the Mavs' take on him, either. At the trade deadline, Bill Simmons said something like "the Lakers are already so sick of Schroder's act that they're trying to dump him." In context, it sounded to me like the entire league knows something bad about him (maybe he's just a jerk in the locker room, idk) but I've never heard anyone come out and say it. It's really interesting to me, because he's a good player on the court.
