There was a four-year, $84 million contract in front of him, but Schroder chose to turn it down, and Schroder only earned $8 million in the past two years, and in the summer of 2023, Schroder signed a two-year, $26 million contract with the Raptors. That is, it is equivalent to a total of $34 million in 4 years, and Schroder lost $50 million for nothing.
I'll sign it, I'm not going to leave any money on the table, that's not how my mom educated me. Schroeder said in a recent interview with Yahoo Sports reporter Jack Fisher. However, Schroder's agent at the time suggested rejecting the Lakers' ** because this ** had not yet reached the psychological price.
It's a pity that the agent miscalculated Schroder's **, and after that season, Schroder didn't get a big contract, and finally had to sign a mid-level contract with the Celtics, and was later traded to the Rockets. Schroder, who joined the Lakers at the end of 2022, regained his value and signed a two-year, $26 million contract with the Raptors in the summer of 2023.
It was the worst two years of my career, but I also made $8 million in those two years. I have two healthy children, a mom and siblings, and I can buy anything I want, because I had a $70 million contract before, and as a guy from the small German city of Braunschweig, I've been lucky enough to be with people who love me and who have been with me through the darkest days of my life. Schroeder said.
Schroder's performance in the Raptors this season is remarkable, at least worthy of his contract with an annual salary of tens of millions. Schröder led the German men's basketball team to the World Cup title in the summer of 2023, and he was also crowned MVP, ushering in the peak moment of his career.
The 30-year-old Schroder is still at the prime of his career, and he has not suffered any major injuries since entering the NBA and is in great shape. Schroeder has a wealth of experience working with star players, and with his current value and ability, he can be the perfect piece of the puzzle for a championship team.
Schroder may achieve even more in the future, but refusing to re-sign a four-year, $84 million contract extension with the Lakers more than two years ago is a regret he will never forget. It is worth mentioning that Schroeder once denied that he received this **. But now he admits that he has rejected this **. can only say that he really regrets it in his heart.
