Lakers One Step Away Get Dennis Schroeder Signature Of Thunder, Barter With Danny Green

JAKARTA - NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers are reported to have secured guard Dennis Schroeder of the Oklahoma City Thunder in a bartering scheme.

In exchange, the Lakers will send guard Danny Green and the 28th vote in the 2020 NBA Draft for the Thunder, ESPN columnist Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Sunday.

The barter agreement will be finalized when the 2020 NBA Draft is held online on Wednesday, November 18.

The Lakers will select their 28th NBA Draft 2020 signing for the Thunder, as regulations prohibit bartering for the first round of the Draft for two consecutive seasons.

In the 2019 NBA Draft the Lakers have sent a fourth vote to the New Orleans Pelicans as a barter deal to get Anthony Davis.

Meanwhile, Thunder also has the 25th voting rights in the first round of the 2020 NBA Draft.

Schroeder has recently become a major game in the NBA bartering market considering he only has one year contract remaining worth US $ 15.5 million.

Last season, Schroeder was ranked second in the NBA's list of Best Reserve Player awards, which ultimately fell to Los Angeles Clippers center Montrezl Harrell.

Starting his NBA career as the Atlanta Hawks' 17th NBA Draft 2013 recruit, Schroeder then moved to Thunder in a tripartite bartering scheme.

During his seven seasons in the NBA, Schroeder appeared in 496 regular season games with an average of 14.1 points and 4.6 assists.
