Basketball world champion Dennis Schröder has been wild weeks in the NBA change carousel. In the NDR conversation, the Braunschweiger is very satisfied with the preliminary “terminus” Detroit Piston.
“Fortunately, I ended up here. It wasn’t better,” said the 31-year-old. “This is exactly how I want to play: quickly on the offensive, a lot of pick and roll and in the defensive Full Court Press.” After just a few days and three victories in the first three games, Schröder feels comfortable with the pistons.
From Golden State via Utah to Detroit
Behind the captain of the German national team are moving days in the trade system of the North American basketball league NBA. In the previous week, Schröder had been transferred to Utah Jazz at the Golden State Warriors after just six weeks and was immediately passed on to the Pistons. For the Braunschweiger, Detroit is already the ninth station in the NBA.
Schröder criticizes NBA trades sharply
The German criticism of the system had practiced the broadcaster “NBC”: “At the end of the day it is like modern slavery. Everyone can decide where to go, even if you have a contract.”
“I am glad that I was still traded to Detroit because I had imagined my time with the Golden State Warriors differently.”

So now the pistons, which are 29:26 victories in sixth place in the Eastern Conference and thus fully on play-off course. In Detroit, the world champion acts as a back-up on the point guard position for young star Cade Cunningham.
“Everything happens for one reason,” said Schröder. “I’m extremely happy to be here.” He wants to get into the play-offs with the pistons. “Everything is possible.”
“Golden State wasn’t what I had imagined”
He does not cry away from the Warriors. “Golden State wasn’t what I had imagined. Everything is fine in Detroit.” Even if it is a lot of snowing and cold in the autometropolis in the state of Michigan. “I am pleasantly surprised,” said Schröder, who experiences a felt happy end on his recent involuntary journey through America.
