Dennis Schroder had issues with Raptors before being traded?

The Toronto Raptors’ commerce of Dennis Schroder this week could have been extra of a divorce than something.

The Raptors despatched the veteran guard Schroder packing forward of Thursday’s NBA commerce deadline. They shipped him to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for another notable guard.

After the commerce, Michael Grange of Sportsnet reported that Schroder had some obvious issues with the Raptors main as much as the transfer. Grange writes that Schroder was not comfortable about being relegated to the bench by Toronto. Schroder signed with the Raptors within the offseason with hopes of beginning on and main a playoff crew, Grange provides.

The previous first-round choose Schroder made 33 begins for the Raptors to open up the season however was dropped to the bench when Immanuel Quickley came to visit within the OG Anunoby commerce with the New York Knicks. Although Schroder is a gifted participant who was averaging roughly 15 factors and 7 assists per recreation as a starter (and simply took house FIBA World Cup MVP honors together with his native Germany in the summertime), his inefficient, ball-dominant tendencies are in all probability finest suited to a second unit.
