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.
It won’t take long for everyone to reacclimate. Fifteen years may seem like an eternity when discussing Yankees appearances in the World Series, but when you have muscle memory this strong, it all comes back pretty quickly. The sights. The sounds — especially the sounds. The energy.

It didn’t take long for Karl-Anthony Towns to impact his regular-season debut at the Garden, for Towns — the preseason blockbuster acquisition — to elevate toward the rim, slam the ball through the net, hang on for an extra second and then let out a roar.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass — From the day he walked into their lives, there wasn’t a soul among the Jets, from top to bottom, who couldn’t stop telling the world how Aaron Rodgers raised the standard of everyone in the building, and how he elevated everyone with his football wisdom and the kind of magical right arm none of them had ever seen.
The Rangers saw two ends to the NHL’s spectrum in three days, beginning with the defending Stanley Cup champions and ending with the third-to-last team in the league last season.
Aaron Boone blew it.
