Dennis Schroder makes NBA history with his eighth career turnover
The Cleveland Cavaliers maybe they opened the floodgates, because they traded days before the deadline. De’Andre Hunter was traded to the Sacramento Kings for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, and both teams seem to have gotten what they wanted. The big success for the Cavs has been Schroder, who has shown throughout his time in the league that he can be a serviceable point guard, whether he starts or comes off the bench.
Schroder has been in several teams since coming to the league, and he went down in NBA history with the latest trade, according to Yossi Gozlan.
“Dennis Schroder has now been traded 8 times. He is now tied for the second most trades in NBA history. Trevor Ariza is the leader with 11 trades,” Gozlan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Schroder is usually a key piece in a trade because of what he can do on the field, but he’s also always on a contract that’s easy to change. People always seem to go back to when he turned down a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he hasn’t been able to stay with the team very long since.
Last season, Schroder was traded twice during the season. The Golden State Warriors traded him, and then, before the deadline, he was traded to the Detroit Pistons. He was actually a good backup point guard for the Pistons, and was thought to be re-signed during the offseason.
The Kings ended up acquiring him in a sign and trade, but there was talk that he could be moved before the deadline. This is a good move for the Cavs, as they now have a reliable point guard to help them while Darius Garland is still working his way back from injury.
