It’s a wild day to be an NBA fan. And even wilder if you are a Golden State Warriors fan. When Dennis Schroder recently stirred the pot, saying NBA trades are like “modern slavery,” he had no idea what would happen next.
His remarks came in the wake of the shocking trade involving Luka Doncic moving from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers. Schroder expressed his frustration at the lack of loyalty from franchises. He pointed out how players are often at the mercy of their teams’ decisions, regardless of existing contracts.
Ironically, just a day after calling it “slavery”, Schroder found himself on the trading block. The Golden State Warriors executed a multi-team trade that saw him swapping his Miami jersey. He was part of the crucial deal that will send Jimmy Butler to the Warriors. In this whirlwind transaction, Schroder was ultimately sent to the Utah Jazz.

However, basketball fans are in a mix after witnessing all of this so suddenly. Social media erupted when Luka was traded, and they are now losing their minds about Schroder. Well, it’s hard to believe, unlike other big sports, to perform trades so suddenly without any major rumors or linkups.
