The Detroit Pistons are set to acquire point guard Dennis Schroder from the Utah Jazz, according to sources cited by ESPN's Shams Charania. This marks Schroder's fourth team this season, as he initially started with the Brooklyn Nets, was traded to the Golden State Warriors in December, and then to the Jazz just days prior. Currently, Schroder is averaging 14.4 points, 5.5 assists, and 2.6 rebounds over 26.2 minutes in 47 games played this season. Over his 12-year career, he has maintained averages of 14.0 points, 4.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds. On Thursday, Dennis Schroder made headlines once again as he was traded, moving to the Detroit Pistons after a string of reassignments beginning with the Golden State Warriors, who sent him to the Miami Heat as part of the Jimmy Butler trade. Following that, he was redirected to the Utah Jazz, who have now sent him off to Detroit. The transition isn't easy for Schroder, a 31-year-old veteran drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in 2013, as this marks his ninth team in eight seasons. The turbulent nature of these trades has led Schroder to express his struggles with the business aspect of the NBA, suggesting that the frequent changes feel akin to 'modern slavery.' Despite the challenges, he recognizes the nature of the league dynamics: 'For me, being in my 12th season, business is business,' he remarked. As he joins a struggling Pistons team, Schroder hopes for a fresh start amidst the constant changes in his professional career.
