Overview

• Dennis Schröder, the Toronto Raptors point guard, rejected a four-year, $84 million deal from the Los Angeles Lakers in 2021, on advice from his former agents.
• He subsequently signed with the Boston Celtics for a one-year deal worth $5.9 million, and later with the Lakers for $2.6 million.
• Schröder then signed a two-year, $25.4 million contract with the Raptors before the 2023-24 season.
• By the time his original Lakers deal would have ended, Schröder will have made about $34 million, not even half of the $84 million he was initially offered.
• Schröder has since changed agents, and asserts that he would not have rejected the Lakers' offer had he not been advised to do so by his former representation.
