Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroeder handles the ball during the game against the Phoenix Suns.

There is no doubt that Golden Empire Warriors beat several teams recently. Tuesday 130-92 dismantling the Dallas Mavericks and the 138 pieces the club booked for the Chicago Bulls on January 14 immediately came to mind.

Overall, though, the Warriors have endured some major offensive struggles alongside their star player, Stephen Curry.

As of December 28, Golden State has scored just 107.9 points per 100 possessions, a 25th-place mark across the league for that period. Meanwhile, the team’s true shot rate was 56.0 over that period of just 19 overall.

Hence, what was once thought to be NBATop Offense has the 11th best O rating as of the time of this writing at 110.9.

Given the recent shortage, some have wondered if the club could benefit from the purchase of another shotmaker to help shoulder the load when Curry is on the decline and/or while Klay Thompson is still looking. My feet. For my part, Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley just came up with the idea of ​​doing a term transaction for a legitimate super sub.

B/R: Dennis Schroder ‘Possibly Best Situational Solution’

In his latest post on the Warriors’ trading term options, Buckley has confusingly identified Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder as a player who could help reverse the team’s fortunes. And there’s definitely some logic to playing there.

After seemingly miscalculating the free agency market last summer and eventually agreeing to a shocking, bargain deal to join the Beantowners, Schroder has certainly recouped some of his value. with Cs this season. Through 42 appearances, the 28-year-old has averaged 15.4 points, 4.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds.

Furthermore, his shot count increased across all, improving to 44.1% overall, 35.7% from the deep, and 85.3% from the charity strip.

As noted by Buckley, his current season is comparing favorably with that of Warriors wing Jordan Poole, who has been praised for his efforts:

For reference, his numbers are no different from Jordan Poole’s (16.7 points and 3.3 assists), only Schroder shoots a better percentage and commits to fewer transfers.

Schroder might actually be the “best case solution” (as Buckley put it) to what the Warriors are seriously ill.

Celtics could be pushed to put Schroder ahead of time

While there’s no doubt Schroder is one of the Celtics’ better players and a bright spot throughout the mid lane campaign, team chairman Brad Stevens would be wise to consider a trade him in. the coming days.

Schroder’s one-year, $5.9 million deal comes to an end at the end of the season, and it’s almost certain he’ll be asking for a much higher salary over the summer. That number would probably hit a point where Boston would be unwise to extend his contract, given the team’s limited situation.

So, if the Celtics want to get some kind of long-term return on their investment in Schroder, that will have to come at the time of the trade. Otherwise, he can go with nothing.
