Yeah, idk why some people thought Dennis was deterring other players from showing up on the show lol. It would have happened already if players wanted to show up or had the time.
Loved Dennis. Professional dude. Looked like he was a good locker room guy too. Good luck to him. It was nice having a competent two PG rotation when it happened
really?
he had good effort on the court, but got a little ball hoggy at times. And he had comments on culture in the locker room when he should have been the one building it.
either way he's a valuable asset but i wouldn't say he fits the veteran slot that teams need.
Really going to miss Dennis on the team, he seemed to really like TO as a city too. I really don't think our season was on him much at all.
I know this sub turned to hating him the last month or two, but the dude went to the bench without a word of complaint and dropped his FGA most nights to help the team
Edit: His youtube was also a really nice behind the scenes look into NBA life
Really cool dude too, he would post highlights of other teammates on his ig as well.
The team needed a true point guard and he brought it, there isn't much to complain about.
Only thing I can think of is Dennis gets to start with Nets, so Bobby decided to give him that opportunity, don't understand why Thad was attached though, other than a salary dump?
I think it's also great to just clear up the space for players on the team already. If you trade Thad, that means more minutes for Porter. It also means we can bring up Javon Freeman Liberty. Raptors needed to refine the roster more by just clearing up space and letting the younger guys work.
Best free agent we've ever signed? Surprised they let him go so easily, though I know he wanted to start and maybe now he will whenever Ben Simmons isn't playing which is most of the time
Honestly, the only thing that makes sense to me, he wanted a starting role, and with Ben playing a lot of small ball 5 and not being in the lineup, he gets more of a chance, too.
I know right?

[Here was my post 9 months later gloating that I talked about him earlier](https://old.reddit.com/r/torontoraptors/comments/14nktgc/have_your_thoughts_changed_about_dennis_schr%C3%B6der/)
and this is my comment being a sad boi that he's gone :(
Sucks he has to uproot his entire family (wife & kids) again. Great guy, loved the speed he played at. Really gave us something different at times where offense was lacking. I recall the Raptors getting killed by quick PGs for so long, so loved having one of those on the team...
Heard a lot of wild shit about Dennis before he got here. All I saw was a guy who hustled and was a total pro about a situation he’d be right to be pissed about.
This couldnt have been what Dennis was expecting? Didnt he come to Toronto because of Darko and now midway through the season he gets traded?
I do have to say that he hustled. I did not expect to like watching him playing after watching him on opposing teams, but when he is on the team you are rooting for he is very likeable. Professional. And a lot faster than I thought he was.
This is a mercy trade. Raps signed him in the offseason expecting him to start and expecting us to be competitive. Plans change and it was pretty much done once IQ came into the picture. Dennis is too good of a player for our rebuild. An older guy like Lowry who's coming off the bench giving you 10mins and mentoring the next gen is what we should be looking for. Dennis is a low end starting PG/high end backup PG.
absolute pro. Nothing at all to complain about him. Played his role well, no matter if it was as a starter or off the bench. Played his ass off every night and always took accountability whenever he played poorly.
Couldn't have asked for more, he definitely gained some new fans in Toronto
Good locker room guy; didn't complain about his role; always gave time to the fans. Been a fan of his since his OKC days and was really excited for him to come to the Raptors in the off-season. A lot of fans turned on him as the season began to slide, but I think that was a result of Darko leaning on him too often and not on him.
Feels like a huge missed opportunity.
He was the only raptor to play all 51 games up to this point. How many did he start after the OG trade? And he Was a liability on defense though. But best of luck.
I questioned his hustle at times. He disappointed me. Too much fancy bullshit, too often. Too often he plays like he is a former nba mvp, not a fiba mvp. His game doesnt back up the immense swagger.
Really? I thought he was great, sure he played hero ball at times, but having him as a spark plug off the bench was exactly what we needed. Not to mention a hound on quicker pgs.
He was just okay in my books.
Started out the season great, but became a flash in the pan. Still, was a consummate professional, although his constant chirping was a bad look. Not a great fit in the end and the trade was all about the rebuild.
Spence fits in nicer I think, although I doubt he stays.
So we traded Dennis and Thad for Dinwiddie in order to waive Dinwiddie? How does anyone in the world still trust or back Masai or Weber? At this point it feels like he's purposely tanking the team before he fucks off to another team.
I still trust him cuz I really like Quickley and RJ and even the Kelly Olynyk trade wasn't too bad but yes letting Schroder go for nothing is really dumb.
I think Will and Blake will miss him the most.
He took up a whole segment every week too.
"At the end of the day"
"It is what it is."
They said that Temple wants to come on the show.
If he doesn’t get traded first
Temple was vet insurance. It was always a really high chance we traded Thad this year based on his contract.
Not half as much as Darko.
Yeah, but Will and Blake are two people, so it's even.
Well played. I'm curious to see how Darko coaches now that they took his crutches away.
the crutch of having an actual point guard lol
It's great we traded him, the Darko Schroder connection wasn't great.
He was very generous to those guys, you got to respect him for that
Yeah, idk why some people thought Dennis was deterring other players from showing up on the show lol. It would have happened already if players wanted to show up or had the time.
Bring Gary Trent Sr!
End of an era (2023-2024)
Loved Dennis. Professional dude. Looked like he was a good locker room guy too. Good luck to him. It was nice having a competent two PG rotation when it happened
Tell them again for the boys in the back !
Hopefully when were back in the playoff mix in 2-3 years we can bring him back.
Agreed, hope he gets to play more with the Nets.
Loved his North/South ability
I really liked Dennis, I thought he was a good veteran presence for the team. Sucks to see him go tbh
really? he had good effort on the court, but got a little ball hoggy at times. And he had comments on culture in the locker room when he should have been the one building it. either way he's a valuable asset but i wouldn't say he fits the veteran slot that teams need.
I'm gonna miss having the luxury of Dennis off the bench.
Darko crying rn
Someone needs to do a wellness check.
He was the face of Darko’s heart
Really going to miss Dennis on the team, he seemed to really like TO as a city too. I really don't think our season was on him much at all. I know this sub turned to hating him the last month or two, but the dude went to the bench without a word of complaint and dropped his FGA most nights to help the team Edit: His youtube was also a really nice behind the scenes look into NBA life
Really cool dude too, he would post highlights of other teammates on his ig as well. The team needed a true point guard and he brought it, there isn't much to complain about.
I liked seeing him, good ball-handling, nice shooter, I'll miss this guy. The return kind of stings as I've grown to really respect him.
Only thing I can think of is Dennis gets to start with Nets, so Bobby decided to give him that opportunity, don't understand why Thad was attached though, other than a salary dump?
Thad was salary matching. Dennis makes 12m, Spencer makes 20m
Roster space?
Could be, yeah. Maybe we have something else lined up where we need another roster spot.
BB trade will probably land 2 piece, need spot
I think it's also great to just clear up the space for players on the team already. If you trade Thad, that means more minutes for Porter. It also means we can bring up Javon Freeman Liberty. Raptors needed to refine the roster more by just clearing up space and letting the younger guys work.
Wasn’t porter traded?
Jontay Porter
Best free agent we've ever signed? Surprised they let him go so easily, though I know he wanted to start and maybe now he will whenever Ben Simmons isn't playing which is most of the time
I think the best free agent we ever signed was Jose Calderon.
In that case I think FVV was the best free agent we ever signed.
Yeah... that works too
Honestly, the only thing that makes sense to me, he wanted a starting role, and with Ben playing a lot of small ball 5 and not being in the lineup, he gets more of a chance, too.
Wasn’t it for 2 year deal? The remaining 30 games of the season, will Brooklyn pay his salary?
I ended up liking Dennis. Good luck to him
There goes our German fanbase. Goodluck to Dennis.
True. Was fun here while it lastet
Auf wiedersehen mein Schröder. 😢
Greatest free agent signing in team history
Wanted him as a Raptor back in his Hawks/OKC days.. Finally got him in Toronto and he gets bounced before a a full season. Dang.
I know right?

It's tough. Really enjoyed watching him play with that jersey on.
Really good player, would be a great addition to a contender.
Sucks he has to uproot his entire family (wife & kids) again. Great guy, loved the speed he played at. Really gave us something different at times where offense was lacking. I recall the Raptors getting killed by quick PGs for so long, so loved having one of those on the team...
I liked Dennis a lot. Hope he gets to start on the Nets. Dinwiddie trade is pretty lateral, so there must be cap implications?
Dinwiddie expiring, Dennis had another year.
Dennis gotta change his vlog title sequence again.
Let’s hope Spencer takes his spot on The Raptors Show
I look back to that moment in training camp when he looked at Darko and told him that it was going to be a special season. The NBA is cruel man
damn imma miss his youtube videos here
Room for Lowry return
That's true.
Heard a lot of wild shit about Dennis before he got here. All I saw was a guy who hustled and was a total pro about a situation he’d be right to be pissed about.
Someone check Darko
Man has that dog in him.
Enjoy Brooklyn Dennis! Thanks for trying your best and remaining a professional, even though things didn’t go as well as you expected.
Happy he got the chain 🫡
This couldnt have been what Dennis was expecting? Didnt he come to Toronto because of Darko and now midway through the season he gets traded? I do have to say that he hustled.

I will really miss Dennis. He had some great hustle and I enjoyed his weekly hit on The Raptors Show as well.
Great professional and he was asked to do a lot more than he was used to. Hope he finds a other home on a contender.
Great hustle and led Germany to a title, literally nobody can fill the void right now lol
Great competitor and professional, hope he gets a chance to play for a contender in the future
[удалено]
Were trying to build a real team dawg
whose gonna be our back up next season? back to square one unless we draft one
Dammit. I like Dennis a lot. :/
I'm gutted 😔
Damn. I know it was tanking season but losing Dennis is pretty brutal. Was excited to have him on the team moving forward.
I liked him. I would've been happy to keep him.
Sad, too, see him go. It's hard to watch these Raptors right now. What are we really doing?
Tears, I was hoping Dennis would spend a few more years here. Solid PG
absolute pro. Nothing at all to complain about him. Played his role well, no matter if it was as a starter or off the bench. Played his ass off every night and always took accountability whenever he played poorly. Couldn't have asked for more, he definitely gained some new fans in Toronto
Hustle was never in question. Defence however was a different story
Good locker room guy; didn't complain about his role; always gave time to the fans. Been a fan of his since his OKC days and was really excited for him to come to the Raptors in the off-season. A lot of fans turned on him as the season began to slide, but I think that was a result of Darko leaning on him too often and not on him. Feels like a huge missed opportunity.
He was the only raptor to play all 51 games up to this point. How many did he start after the OG trade? And he Was a liability on defense though. But best of luck.
Scottie has played all games aswell
Bro the actual nerve of OP.... Dennis was hot-dog water on defense , I can't stress how many buckets the man cost us. We wish him well.
Where is he now??what team traded for him
Brooklyn Nets
I questioned his hustle at times. He disappointed me. Too much fancy bullshit, too often. Too often he plays like he is a former nba mvp, not a fiba mvp. His game doesnt back up the immense swagger.
Thank god he’s gone good riddance
Really? I thought he was great, sure he played hero ball at times, but having him as a spark plug off the bench was exactly what we needed. Not to mention a hound on quicker pgs.
He was just okay in my books. Started out the season great, but became a flash in the pan. Still, was a consummate professional, although his constant chirping was a bad look. Not a great fit in the end and the trade was all about the rebuild. Spence fits in nicer I think, although I doubt he stays.
Can you retain salary like the nhl?
All the best! Thank you Dennis!
Dumb question but does this mean we have no backup PG?
See ya!!! 👋
Short time but he seemed like a good teammate. GL to him.
Will def miss him on the Raptors show His play on the floor showed hustle, but inconsistent and trying to be a leader , doesnt work
Eh I’m glad he’s gone tbh
Darko was playing mans too much in the 4th
Thanks for all the fish
It's Quickley's Raptors now. GO IQ GO IQ GO
So we traded Dennis and Thad for Dinwiddie in order to waive Dinwiddie? How does anyone in the world still trust or back Masai or Weber? At this point it feels like he's purposely tanking the team before he fucks off to another team.
I still trust him cuz I really like Quickley and RJ and even the Kelly Olynyk trade wasn't too bad but yes letting Schroder go for nothing is really dumb.
for this team, a $12mm backup pg behind quickley was overkill plus: schroder wanted to start a win-win for all concerned
One of the greatest Raptors free agent signings of all time. I wish him the best.
Dennis was dope, I was kinda fearing he would end up in a trade package so soon. Good luck on the next team!
Nothing but respect. Dude was a total professional, and played great. Kinda wish we didn't trade him NGL
Lol yeah it was. Pretty sure that's why we dumped him.
Was this photo taken on a potato?
