King James, who recently commented on Schroder’s IG post, didn’t expect things to pan out the way they have after Schroder made his wish to reunite with the four-time champion public.

Schroder continues to be the target of a meme fest post his exit from the Lakers in 2021. The 28-year-old declined a 4-year $84M offer from GM Pelinka, hoping to make $100-120M in free agency, as this gamble proved to be a nightmare, courtesy of his underwhelming performance in the playoffs.

Post his exit from the Lakers, Schroder signed a 1-year $5.9M taxpayer mid-level exception contract with the Celtics. Nevertheless, in less than 6-months, the Cs shipped Schroder to Houston, where he suffered a shoulder injury during the end of the season, keeping him out for the remaining time.

Heading into the off-season, Schroder could be bestowed with the perfect opportunity to redeem himself. According to recent reports, the Lakers are interested in reuniting with the German baller.

Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what the Lakers have to offer Schroder, given his exorbitant demands in the past.
