Dennis Schroder was just a completely different beast when he left the Los Angeles Lakers system. A lot of people think that this was because he missed out a lot of cash in NBA Free Agency that year. This could very well be the reason for the shift in physique but there is more to the story than meets the eye. Let's uncover the aspects behind this big change.
A deal worth $84 million was already awaiting Dennis Schroder in the Lakers. However, he still tested free agency which proved to be a regrettable decision. The former Sixth Man of the Year finalist ended up with the Boston Celtics with a meager $5.9 million contract. Unfortunately, he would become stuck in a cycle of proving his worth to multiple teams and jumping ship nearly every off-season.
This inspired him to improve his physique quite a lot. Schroder became ripped with the Celtics and played with a chip on his shoulder every year since. In fact, he even blazed it up during the 2023 FIBA World Cup to earn Germany a world championship which left a lot of Team USA fans distraught.
Schroder has not quite recuperated the lost cash that he would have gotten from free agency. However, it did do wonders to his production. He was able to turn it up a notch and even became a starter in some squads after leaving the Lakers. Hopefully, front offices get to see his effort and give him the opportunity to be a starter such that the amount that he lost could come back to him. For now, it looks like he has to lead the Brooklyn Nets into more wins first.
