have some empathy, Schroder was gonna buy a gold plated shark tank last week. now he’s gonna have to wait a few months. 😔

And then Schroeder made that stupid ass modern day slavery remark

He coulda had closer to \(160m by now if he hadn’t fumbled the bag. Would’ve been close to \)200 by the end of his current contract. Still a solid career and career earnings for him.

It’s also funny how he will always be remembered as the guy who fumbled the bag but the reality is he still did pretty decent for himself. Once this deal expires he will have made $77 million since he turned down the extension. Now that’ll be in 7 years instead of 4 so he would’ve made more money after the extension but he’ll still of made up most of that extension.

He deserves a ton of credit for working his value up, you don’t see many guys play for the minimum at 29 and get paid double digits into their mid 30s so makes a little sense why he bet on himself because it seems like he’s got the work ethic even if the bet didn’t work.

How is he supposed to live on that?

Yeah, he was betting his future spoiled great grandchildren’s money.

150 after current contract. Its still generational

He gets $14 million to play a game for a living. Don’t ever feel bad for their professional situation.

Yea I feel bad for the millionaire slave as well.

Yeah but when it could’ve been closer to 200 that 110 won’t feel good relatively speaking

He’s still a very good player just something of a head case.

Yeah, anyone who has made $100 million by the time they are 35 is gonna be able to live how they want for the rest of their lives.

Still there are multiple examples of NBA players being badly advised or greedy and turning down huge offers so they could sign for more a few months/one year later.

Dennis should have signed that \(80 million deal. But then Harden and Kyrie have both massively lost out on many many tens of millions of dollars since turning down the Nets max contract offers. I think Harden will approach nearly \)100 million in missed career earnings by not extending with Brooklyn. No wonder Harden is so mad with Daryl Morey.

Still the biggest bag fumbler since nerlens noel

And his kids making new friends in every new city.

Any time someone has an opportunity to double their net worth in 4 years should take it.

Yeah but that \(110M is really only like \)55M after taxes n such. And what can one really do with only $55M?

I think this is more of a FIBA beef.

Nah, this is just how both of them roll.

Dennis is like “lil KG”, when he is in the stands supporting Braunschweig*, they moth off and are competitive, but they are actually very respectful and polite off the field.

For reference, I worked in the event business for several years and my company did a lot of the catering for big Arenas and Stadiums all over Europe. Never heard any employies say anything bad about them.

*) He bought his childhood club Löwen Braunschweig.

Hate, hate, hate…

That’s tuff 🔥🔥💯💯 *

Would be cool if someone would put together a transcript of everything he’s saying, since you can barely hear him over that dumbass fan shouting “LUKA!”

As Dennis Rodman used to say, “If you play with fire, you’ll get burned.”

Luka with the last minute entry for JOTY in /r/nbacirclejerk

Bad Luka

This poor guys just out here trying to keep food on the table with his meager $100m in career earnings.

He’s not shy at all, he’s very open and personable on YouTube. He just doesn’t care about boring reporters.

I don’t think that’s him being shy in interviews. He’s being methodical and thinking before he speaks to make sure doesn’t put his foot in his mouth. Which a lot of people can learn from.

NBA players aren’t “shy” in interviews. They are simply trying to never say anything that will cost them money, while reporters constantly ask them questions that could get them fined if answered honestly.

Adam Sandler’s Hustle showed me that basketball skill is comprised of three traits - offense, defense, and trash talk.

He can clearly walk the talk. So let him. If you’re game is trash, that’s when you better stfu

True Overwatch player

He just wrote AR a letter. Wt you talkn abt

Why are you crying?

Wait…all he had to do is talk? It’s not effort? Wow. Someone should make a thread and get this to Luka.

He communicates a ton on defense.

Don’t you see him throwing his hands up, pointing, and blaming someone else every time he gets beat?

Can’t stand how mouthy he is while only playing half the game of basketball

You mean air fry. Can’t have none of that extra grease and cholesterol around here.

Yeah but then you see Luka averging 30 plus and you can’t really say anything. Luka was a little harsh of him here.

yeah Luka lost out on some money too

It will get lost to history but he almost single handily beat them this past summer in the elimination round at Eurobasket. Was one of the craziest first half’s I’ve ever seen from a player he literally outscored the entire German team

Was about to say, thats some Fiba beef right there carried over : D

God forbid we talk about the Pistons rising from the ashes for once…

And the 23 world cup where they lost 100:71 in the group stage and ended in 7th place.

Blew out the kings though

And yet they’re 4 games ahead of your warriors

Eurobasket 2017, Euroleague 2018

Eurobasket 2025 too

Lakers offered him a much bigger contract then what he ended up getting in free agency, he bet on himself and lost out on tens of millions.

Don’t feel too bad tho he’s made over 100m still

Thought he could play himself into a bigger bag

Lakers offered Schröder a 4-year, \(84M contract in 2021, but he thought he'd get more in free agency. He'll make \)41.5M between 2021-25.

I’m with you, but losing out on $84 million by your own choice is pretty significant. He definitely doesn’t NEED it, but losing out on that chunk of change would keep anyone up at night, regardless of their current bankroll imo

Shroder was offered 3 y $80 million (might be a bit off) by the Lakers. Decided to try free agency instead. Rest is history 🤷
