Which team does Dennis Schroder play for?

Schroder left the LA Lakers in free agency this summer after playing on a minimum contract worth $2.6 million. Schroder played well above his contract value. That gave him the opportunity to sign with another team for the full non-taxpayer mild-level exception worth $12.4 million.

Dennis Schroder will play for the Toronto Raptors next season. They offered him a two-year $25.2 million contract. He will make $12.4 million this year and $13.0 million next season. Schroder likely replaces the departing Fred VanVleet as the team's starting point guard.

Lakers will miss Schroder's poise in crunch situations

Dennis Schroder enjoyed a successful stint in LA, averaging 12.6 points and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 41.5%, including 85.7% from deep. He was solid as a point-of-attack defender on the perimeter. Schroder's second stint with LA was filled with highlights of him making clutch plays all season long.

He was the most consistent role player for the Lakers alongside Austin Reaves before and after their trade deadline turnaround. LA would've hoped to re-sign him this summer, but offering him the non-taxpayer mid-level exception wasn't an option.

The Lakers had to address other roster needs and bring back other free agents like Reaves, D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura, which hindered their chances of re-signing Schroder on a team-friendly deal.
