Dennis Schroder on why he left the Lakers for the Raptors this summer: “I think Darko [Rajakovic], the head coach… I met him 5 years ago in OKC. We became friends… I definitely said to my agent, ‘I want be there.’ … I think it’s a great fit.”

If Lakers offered him the same contract and minutes, he would have stayed there.
I like that this isn’t the typical canned answer you hear from FAs when they’re asked this question. Always nice to hear someone give a specific reason and this really speaks to Darko’s ability to connect with players.
Thats good but also he left cuz of Reaves. Lets be honest now. Reaves took his spot.
He’s going to be getting more mins here, most likely why. Also, I really hope his FIBA play transfers over
I still stand firmly that x is such a stupid alternative to Twitter and I can’t believe it’s slowly turning to just x.com
I’ve always liked his style of ball fact that he is still decently young he can be a good leader on and off court hopefully he can help Barnes mature his mentality and his game.
I hope we get to see this [move](https://youtube.com/shorts/tcCvtEjYd-M?si=t5iEYPuMBvVHFenj) all season.
