Dennis Schröder says he returned to the Lakers to ‘make it right’

When Dennis Schröder left the Lakers after his first stint in Los Angeles, it came under some of the oddest of circumstances. Despite a strong season, the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement on a future together.

And so, after once (possibly) being offered an $84 million extension, Schröder and the Lakers parted ways in free agency and the guard never truly found a landing spot, splitting time between Boston and Houston but never really flourishing in either location. The Lakers didn’t exactly knock it out of the park with Schröder’s replacement either.
