The Middle of Everywhere: NWI
Welp, here’s the easiest prediction I have made to this point in my thirties. Of course Schroder was going to get the bulk of the blame playing on LeBron's team when they happened to lose @trojanfan12In all seriousness, Dennis Schroder was easily the Lakers' top acquisition of the offseason. And you got him quite cheap for a late first rounder and an expiring contract. I wouldn't mind seeing him get a ring. That said, I feel bad for him in the sense that he'll get a significant amount of the blame playing for LeBron's team in the event that the Lakers don't repeat. Danny Green received death threats just for missing that shot in Game 5 of this year's finals for Christ's sake.
Magic Johnson says Dennis Schroder doesn't belong on Lakers: He lacks 'winning mentality and attitude'
Yes, he should have taken that $84 million the Lakers had offered him and there may have been some difficult feelings based on that, but true first-class organizations would not need to scapegoat players like this when they lose.
And this is coming from a Bears fan that knows all about the Cody Parkey debacle. Many frequently assume that winning a bunch of championships is what makes one a first-class organization, but the manner in which you conduct business also has something to do with it…
But, it only further illustrates that whenever MeBron’s team loses in the playoffs, it’s always someone else’s fault. It is essentially a law.
Good luck with Westbrook… The double jeopardy factor just might work in his favor here. It is LeBron, though – And he is constantly looking to prove others wrong. The blame game ain’t likely to be any exception in that regard…
