It was the laughing stock of the offseason, after his absolutely failed attempt to hit the jackpot during free agency. While the Lakers offered him 84 million over 4 years, Dennis Schröder had his eyes bigger than his stomach by claiming 100-120 million dollars.

Schröder is averaging 17.5 points, 4.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game this season.
