NBA reporter Ary, who has repeatedly exposed some inaccurate news in recent times, updated his social media account. He also talked about the situation of Dennis Schroder, who is about to become a free agent this summer. According to Ary, sources revealed to him that if Dennis Schroeder chooses not to return to the Detroit Pistons this summer, he is expected to attract interest from two teams from Los Angeles (the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers). According to previous reports, the Sacramento Kings are also regarded as a big suitor for defender Schroeder this summer.

Schroeder was first sent to the Golden State Warriors by the Brooklyn Nets, and then was sent to the Pistons because of his poor performance. He made a total of 75 games in the NBA regular season this season, averaging 28.1 minutes of playing time, averaging 13.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 40.6%, three-point shooting percentage 34.2%, and free throw shooting percentage 83.8%. In the playoffs, Schroeder made a total of 6 appearances, averaging 27.4 minutes, averaging 12.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 49.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 47.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.3%.

Schroeder's performance at the Nets at the beginning of this season can be said to be quite good. He has outstanding support for the team on the offensive end. He has also demonstrated his comprehensive scoring ability. He can also play a decisive role in passing and organizing offense. However, after joining the Warriors, Schroeder's performance can be said to be at a disaster level, and has never improved at all. He was then sold to the Pistons by the Warriors, and his performance did rebound. Schroeder's performance during the playoffs was also relatively reliable. He also showed his due level and played his role well.

From the perspective of the piston, they should still want to keep Schroeder. After all, Schroeder has a very outstanding role in the team, and the team also needs veterans like him to stabilize the situation in the future. As for the Clippers and the Lakers, they still have a high demand for Schroder, but especially the Lakers, it seems that they don’t have enough salary space to sign Schroder. Even if they want to sign Schroder back and re-engineer with him, it seems to be an unrealistic thing. I wonder what choice Schroeder will make this summer. Will he stay with the Pistons or return to California?
