The Schröder signing was a good move, as they got him on the cheap, but do the C’s really need him? Over the past 5 seasons, he’s been averaging 30 minutes a game. I can’t imagine he signed a “prove it” contract only to play 20-25mpg. This is going to reduce the playing time at PG for Smart who according to Ime, wants to run the offense more and Prichard who looks like he’s taking his game to The next level with both passing and scoring. I can’t see Payton getting minutes at SG and if Smart is getting the vast majority of his minutes at the 2, where does that leave Richardson? He’s another player who has been averaging 30+ minutes per game over the last 5 season. And what about Nesmith who looks to have improved considerably. Guess Romeo won’t be playing at all.
I feel like with Marcus signing the extension, improved play by both Pritchard/Nesmith, and the fact that the C’s wont be able to re-sign Schröder, it may be best to trade him for whatever they can get. I don’t think Dennis makes sense on this team anymore.
