Dennis Schroder makes feelings clear that Pistons fit after a 5-team trip to Detroit

Dennis Schroder was involved in several shops in the 2024-25 NBA season

New York City – Basketball gods can sometimes be both ruthless and major, as the point Guard Dennis Schroder finds out in Detroit Pistons this season.

The German playmaker could not be sure which jersey he would complete the next day until the NBA trade period from 2024-25, finally in early February. Schroder started the season with the Brooklyn Nets before he was shipped to the Golden State Warriors in December – and he played well in both places and even set the Dubs starting time for a while.

Unfortunately for the 6-foot 1 guard, no team regarded him as a more than one commercial agent when Brooklyn had dismantled the squad after the Cooper flag competition and Golden State, who chased Curry Batman for Robin, which was Jimmy Butler III. When the Butler -Deal drama developed in the last hours of the trading period, Schroder changed the teams technically three times within 24 hours and took over the total number of NBA organizations with which it was associated during the current campaign.

The 31-year-old guard was part of the original package of the Golden State, which was sent to Miami Heat. Then he was diverted into jazz in Utah and finally the pistons when they joined a complicated five-team trade who landed on the Warriors. Fortunately, Schroder finally found a home in Detroit.

“I loved Brooklyn. Played there, played great. They wanted to go a different way. Go to Golden State, hit incredible people and then came to Detroit. And I think Detroit is one of the best situations in which I had helped myself in the first round with the New York Knicks in the game 5 on Tuesday.

“I don’t have to change my playing style, I can be myself, I have a trainer who drives the referees and who makes no crap, and I am so. That’s the reason why I’m in the league for 12 years. I am 6-foot-1, I have to find my way.

“My teammates hug me and I just try to help every game we achieve with a win.” Schroder quickly established himself as an important role player for the pistons with an average of 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 28 games in the regular season.

And he has already established himself as one of Detroit’s heroes of the Knicks series and put down a late triple in the Madison Square Garden, who successfully thwarted the comeback attempt by New York in game 2 and helped the pistons to win their first aftercare victory for 17 years. Piston’s head coach JB Bickerstaff emphasized Schroders before his team in game 5 at MSG took the Knicks again, and praised the President of the basketball operations Trajan Langdon because he earned the experienced playmaker in the season.

“Obviously, when (Jaden Ivey) went out, it would be important to find another ball handler. To be able to have a man, especially a man with the experiences that Dennis has, the moments in which he played, world championship games, all of these things.

“We had the feeling that we needed another man who could put the ball in his hands and he was able to make reading processes and make plays. And allow them to bring Cade (Cunningham) back to places where the defense cannot just stare at him when he comes to the ground.

“So I give Trajan a lot of recognition for what a necessary need it was, and then to be able to carry him out and bring him a man like Dennis who was enormous for us.” Bickerstaff noticed how Schroder’s experience and leadership qualities were important late in the Crunch period. His defender stated the tone, his game, which distributed the offensive potential of Cade Cunningham, and his serenity came in the clutch when it was on him to hit the big shot – as he did in game 2.

Especially since the pistons had to reject the desperate fourth quarter of New York for most of the series.

In addition to Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Malik Beasley, Schroder fully assumed his experienced role in the young Detroit crew, which triples the number of victories last season 2024-25 before he has too many difficulties at the beginning of the Playoffs 2025. “We were in a few playoff games,” said the German. “Just talking as much as possible, they bring together every day, everyone comes together.”

Schroder particularly enjoys the chance to look after Cunningham, who brought the pistons to victory with 24 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals and a block in game 5 to send the series back to Detroit. “He is one of the best players in the world,” he said. “I keep talking to him, seeing the stuff I see just try to teach him and encourage him, and he did it tonight.

“He checked the whole game, every time he stepped onto the pitch, he checked the game. And it is great to see.”
