Dennis Schröder wants to play for Germany now that they made the Olympics

Dennis Schröder has a big summer ahead of him. After starting every game he played in for the the Lakers during his lone season with the team (so far), the diminutive speed demon will enter unrestricted free agency. As a result, he reportedly told the German Basketball Federation that his desire to seek a contract in the range of $100 million or $120 million would not allow him to play for his home country in the Olympics this summer, mostly because he could not get an insurance policy for that amount of money during a global pandemic.
