Lakers didn't want to keep him. Celtics jettisoned him off as soon as they could and got better after. Rockets, ATL, and OKC all had him and moved on quick.
There are PLENTY of teams that need Schroeder. Brooklyn and LA need literally anyone and they still aren't signing him.
Schroeder isn't damaged goods, which speaks volumes on his attitude.
Fair points, but the Lakers landed PatBev. Had they not, it sounds like DS was on the table. And while there are plenty of teams that could use his services, it could easily be argued that the Mavs have the biggest need with no real way of acquiring talent.
-Maybe a year out of the league humbled him.
-You could give him a 1 year deal and send him home if he becomes a locker room problem.
-Because of our lack of recruiting ability, Mavs need to turn over every rock when it comes to improving the roster and one way to do that is take risks on fallen angels.
We are a Luka injury (knock on Christian Wood's head) or a Dinwiddie injury (and I have major concerns with given him a massive workload given his injury history) from giving New York a really nice draft pick to play alongside Jalen.
I'm not in love with the idea of Schroder but given how terrible the offseason was, if he's cheap and on a one year deal, I see no reason to not sign him at this point.
