Rob Pelinka, General Manager of NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers, has highly praised newcomer Dennis Schröder. “We’re thrilled to have him. We play tough, defensively focused basketball, that’s what distinguishes Dennis,” said Pelinka of the German international.
Schröder had switched from Oklahoma City Thunder to the start team around LeBron James. In return, Lakers actor Danny Green goes to Oklahoma. In addition, Jaden McDaniels, who was drafted by the Lakers on Thursday night, also plays for OKC.
Schröder should play an important role at the Lakers. “Dennis is a player that opponents hate to play against, but his teammates love to play with him. He’s a perfect fit. We’ve not only seen him now in this trade period, but before.” said Pelinka: “There was a lot of demand for Dennis. Such players are hard to come by.”
