We already knew that extension talks between the Lakers and Dennis Schröder had hit an impasse. It was pretty easy to guess, given that the team was including his in trade offers, and The Athletic reported explicitly in the aftermath of the Lakers’ unconsummated deal for Kyle Lowry that Schröder and the team were “far apart” in contract negotiations.
What we didn’t know, however, is how much the Lakers were offering. The max they’re allowed to give Schröder right now during the season is a four-year, approximately $84 million deal.
