Dennis Schroder knows his Nets future is uncertain
NY Post
Even though the Nets are just three games into the season, Dennis Schroder is already reflecting on what his time in Brooklyn has meant to him.
The German point guard is playing on an expiring $13 million contract — one that could be used to make moves at the trade deadline if the Nets decide to trade some of their veterans.
“I mean, at the end of the day, I know how this business works. So at the end of the day, to be able to be in the best league in the world, that’s a blessing and I’m always grateful for it,” Schroder said Sunday following the Nets’ 115-102 win over the Bucks. “So at the end of the day, if something happens, I can handle it. But Brooklyn when I first got traded here, they texted my mom, texted my wife, sent them flowers, and I love things like that. My teammates from the first day, I think, they were talking to me. They made me feel comfortable. That’s all you can ask for. Of course, the front office and all those guys, social media guys, everybody is just cool and making sure the players are straight. That’s the reason why I can see myself of course being here long term.
“But like I said, it’s a business at the same time, and whenever a decision is made, I just go with it and always remind myself that it’s the best league in the world. So it don’t matter where. Even if I get traded, I always gotta see the positive side of it. But I want to stay here.”
The 13-year vet was acquired in February from the Raptors at the trade deadline in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie.
He was added with the hope to supplement Ben Simmons and help the team to compete for a play-in spot.
PHOENIX — Wednesday brought some cautiously optimistic updates for the Knicks frontcourt.
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
There will be a little extra magic for Knicks-Spurs on Christmas Day.
The quickest way for the Giants to climb out of quarterback hell is also the quickest way to extend their stay there for at least three more years.
The Lakers’ decision to keep Bronny James away from G League road games has sparked some debate about the level of preferential treatment the franchise is giving to LeBron’s son.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.
One of Tom Thibodeau’s stated points of emphasis for the Knicks this season — to increase their volume of 3-point attempts to take advantage of their proficiency from the outside — is starting to come to fruition.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — It’s the best-case scenario for Filip Chytil and the Rangers.
