The Raptors have a Dennis Schroder PROBLEM

The Raptors have a Dennis Schroder PROBLEM

This is the type of thing that is going to literally follow him for the rest of his life because it is a code in basketball that you do not break it is a code in competitive sports that you do not break it is not something you get to

Recover from the online backlash to what he’s done here it’s too big to stop it won’t matter if Jason Tatum deletes it at this point and as a rapor fan I’m sitting here wondering why is it that probably tomorrow for what feels like the 180th time this year I’m going to be

Enduring a public apology from Dennis Schroeder for something that he didn’t mean to do and people misunderstood it but it all means good at the end of the day when you’re a fringe role player when you’re a role player in the NBA who’s 30 and you do something like this

This is how you end your career in the NBA how do you go into the locker room tomorrow and face your teammates in practice Dennis Schroeder is a guy who turned down a pretty hefty extension offer from the Lakers only to proceed to be low balled by other teams have to

Sign for $5 million with the Celtics which is presumably where he developed this fantastic friendship with Jason Tatum a friendship so fantastic by the way that the two had time to laugh after the game after Dennis’s team just lost the fourth straight game to this team

And I get it I hate it but I get it I’m not I’m not old school you see the gray hairs I have some gray hairs probably don’t see them I’m not that old school I get it these guys come up together they’re ex- teammates there’s a lot of

Player Mobility I don’t really care I don’t even care that that they’re kind of joking around and piling around before the game I don’t care if they’re talking in between timeouts hey man Jordan did it Jordan did it yeah he had conversations Kobe did it I did I got to

Tell you I was a little bit pissed about what he did did to Maxi cber this offseason it made me a little bit apprehensive about the Raptor signing a player who had on a podcast called out a teammate for not joining him on the national team that kind of annoyed me it

Felt like something that should have been handled via a text or a phone call by a person of higher character you don’t air it on a podcast I had an issue with what he did with maxi cber and I’ve had an issue I’ve had a lot of issues

With stuff that he’s done Toronto man stuff that I’ve noticed that maybe has gone unreported underreported definitely certainly doesn’t help that he has a weekly spot on the Raptor show the goto sportset show for the Toronto Raptors with William Lou the now gone Alex Wong and Blake Murphy certainly doesn’t help

That they ask him tough questions and then when he offers completely rambling incoherent completely unrelated answers which seemingly go on forever I don’t think anyone has put me to sleep faster in a 4minute response than Dennis Schroeder all of these things have bothered me him coming out and and

Making this entire sermon after that tough loss against Detroit when you know the really the first time he’s addressed the media in a post game the entire season and he comes out with this whole Soliloquy about oh my God you know we’re not together Y no Sherlock we see

That we see that we see you’re not together why are you telling the media a team with Pascal seak anobi Scotty Barnes I mean players who are Miles better than you why is it that Dennis schroer seems to be the biggest talking point around Raptor media every every

Week I think it’s because he prefers to be well there’s a thing they say about people who always think they’re the smartest person in the room eventually you get caught you’re telling yourself you do something too stupid and you can’t take it back this is something you will never

Ever live down trust me man I lived through the entire Vince Carter era I remember that I remember that rumor that Vince Carter leaked plays to the other team people talk about that to this day that happened allegedly I don’t believe it happened but if it did happen it

Allegedly happened 18 years ago and hardly anyone can prove it that he leaked a play to the opposing team that is a non-competitive thing in something that people pay a lot of money to believe is very competitive this is not done nobody does this look at the me look at the backlash

Already just look at it that’s Legion Hoops wait till you see how many people saw this oh that’s not a mistake that is 61,000 people it was 4 hours ago it is the dead of night it is 4:00 a.m. right now let me paint out the picture for you

This highly controversial dude who claims that he is a leader who had the audacity after what he did to Maxi cber to come out and lecture the Raptors to not playing together basically exclude himself from that entire group by suggesting that well you know when I was

With Team Germany you know this was like this and when I was in Atlanta things are like this yeah we’re not stupid we get it you were part of a successful situation now you are in a situation that is unsuccessful we understand you’re basically implying that you are

Not the problem as always it’s never Dennis’s fault well this one you can’t hide behind it you did it I checked Jason Tatum hasn’t deleted it you have the audacity to sign a jersey for the star player on a team that just beat you for the fourth straight time as your own

Team Falls to 10 games under 500 as your own team Falls to 0 and 10 in the Atlantic division and you have the audacity to sign a jersey for that player saying go get that chip this year Brody for Life PS top five I’m assuming that doesn’t mean Pascal SE yakum top five

Because this would be the most triggering jersey in the history of the world for me I’m all for sportsmanship I’m all for shaking hands although I can appreciate guys like Scotty Barnes who for instance after the Sixers won against the Raptors literally walked off the floor without shaking

Anyone’s hand because he was so pissed that he lost maybe I’m not very Sportsman like myself maybe I was the type of person that was a little bit cold in that line if a team beat us by 30 yo I’m not a professional athlete never even been close but I can’t even

Imagine doing this in wck League you understand you got to go in and face a team tomorrow that are apparently your teammates that are apparently disbanded and and not together allegedly like your German national team whatever I mean I wonder if some point you know he walked

Up to Luca donic you know during during the World Cup and said good luck with the championship no I’m pretty sure you didn’t do that right so what what message am I receiving as your teammate what what how are you gonna address me if I’m Scotty Barnes tomorrow and I

Gotta walk in and know that you just wished a conference rival a division rival a team that you might you might end up facing they’re the number one seed you’re aiming for the plan you might face them in the first round yo I’ve seen some really really beta energy

From this team before sometimes from some of my favorite players I gotta be honest it was really disheartening really disheartening to listen to demard Rose and say well if we had LeBron we could win too that felt so defeatist and I wonder if the minute he set it Messi

Was like this guy’s done because this is this is embarrassing I will never forget it I will never forget it because maybe I grew up maybe I grew up wrong maybe I grew up with this idea that the sports Heroes that I follow want to compete with other sports Heroes that I follow

Maybe I grew up with this NBA in which nobody takes from anybody where jnon Starks will literally rip off Michael Jordan’s head it doesn’t matter if he’s the best player in the world he’s going to compete against them I didn’t grow up in this buddy buddy NBA

And I and I hate it I for one personally would like my mid-level exception point guard to shut the up and play basketball I am tired of this guy becoming a talking point for the media I’m tired of him being the media he basically is isn’t he isn’t he come on

Be real he has a he has a host spot on the goto Raptor show for the company that owns the team he is the media at this point oh he Coes it up real nice apparently when you’re when you’re easy to buy right when you’re easy to buy when your

Loyalty is easy to buy your mind is easy to sell I just made that up I don’t know if it makes sense it’s 4 4:40 in the morning but I got to tell you this I’ve been trying to be really fair to Dennis schroer because I really liked his

Response to coming off the bench he didn’t too much about it but yo how many times how many times do we have to go through this Dennis schroer apology cycle before it just gets old before it’s just like off and go somewhere else how many times I want to know how

Many is it is it five is it eight because he’s at like four right now he should be at five if they called him out for the other thing but they didn’t why is it that I have to have an article come out by Michael gra saying that Dennis Schroeder was initially

Upset about coming off the bench because he was initially promised or initially wanted to lead his own team where the hell do you think that came from those are Dennis’s internal thoughts oh I’m sorry did Darko rakovich leak that to you or did Messi youu Jeri

Come on this is clearly something in my opinion that Dennis or someone close to Dennis leaked off to you that he was internally upset but now look at the good guy he’s bought into this Roll Off the Bench for for Emanuel quickly what does that say that says he wasn’t

Willing to come off the for Gary Trent Jr that’s all it says do the do the reasoning man so now I got to deal with an entire you know media storm all day on Raptor’s Twitter about Dennis Dennis wanted to run his own team and and however irresponsibly hoop Central

Presented Michael gr’s article it was incomplete as tweets often are but it was factually true this does not require that much nuance and reasoning this is not like the Maxi cber situation where you can just talk your way out of of this there is no double meaning there is

No walking back there is no German explanation there is nothing you don’t get to walk back from this you a player who allegedly is a competitor in a professional sport wished a rival team in your conference that just swept you in a season series that will likely be

The team you face in the first round if you do turn around your stupid ass season right now you just wished him a championship how did he break the code are you kidding me you think that wishing a team that you’re likely to draw in the first round of the

Playoffs in your own conference when the season is not even close you’re not even have to halfway mark next game is 41 which means that yo you don’t even know right now mathematically if you have faith if you have any belief in the in the team and

By the way I do clearly I have a little bit more faith in the tron Raptors right now than Dennis rer does because I genuinely believe if they face this uh Boston team fully healthy if we can make some trades and make you know gel I

Think we can give them like a six game series and who knows who knows that Jason Tatum boom shoulder out or Al Horford out Chris Taps bingz there’s a lot of injury-prone players on this team and they’re old how do you know how the hell do you know that you don’t draw

This team in the first round and they’re missing two guys you want to just lose the match before you get to the match this is some real honestly loser ass energy get it off my team he might be a fantastic bench scoring guard but leader I don’t think so let me know in

The comments below if I’m out of pocket maybe I have to delete this video tomorrow but I’m not going to delete this video Let the hate come I don’t care Germany respond I’m sure yall are up right now respond tell me I’m an idiot but tell me in another language so

I can’t understand it peace guys

Dennis Schroder is pretty tight with Jayson Tatum. The two go back. Dennis loves Jayson. How much does he love Jayson? Apart from clowning around during the game, talking between breaks, likely sharing a meal while Tatum was in town, the Raptors self-proclaimed ‘leader’ who is just weeks removed from leading a public lecture on how the Raptors lack togetherness whilst pointing to all his glorious days with team Germany, the same lunatic who publicly blasted Maxi Kleber for not having game when he declined to join the German national team (contract, injury, rehab, whatever). But on January 15th, at 9:53, Dennis Schroder, a man most known for turning down a huge contract and having to sign minimum deals after just ensured that for the rest of his career, he’d be known for something else.

And his bud Jayson Tatum, a very smart player in his own right who probably should have known better, decided to post it for millions to see. Are you keeping count? This is about to be Dennis’ third public apology in 4 weeks. And if GMs view this behaviour the way I think (and know) they do, this will be his last contract in the NBA. Soak it up.
