As between Dallas and Washington where we exchanged two Latvians, Houston and Boston also exchanged courtesies, in Euros so to speak, with the two German compatriots, Daniel Theis and Dennis Schröder who crossed paths on the way of transfers .
For Boston, it’s actually a comeback as Daniel Theis played with the Celtics between 2017 and 2021. For Houston, it’s a good deal a priori with Dennis Schröder therefore, one of the best sixth men in the NBA for several seasons.
“I am happy with this exchange, I think it will help us”soberly commented Stephen Silas in the Houston Chronicle. “Schroder is a good player, he’s a veteran who has already proven his worth, who has already had success and who has experience in the playoffs. It’s always difficult to lose players we care about, Theis, DJ and Armoni. But hey, it’s a positive exchange for our group even if these guys will be missed. »
A true playmaker
With 14 points and 4 assists on average for the Celtics this season, including 25 starts, Dennis Schröder will clearly strengthen the Rockets’ “second unit” which is in great need of stability and offensive boost. In the relay of the young doublet in formation composed of Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green, he will be the new tutor of the young Texan shoots, since DJ Augustin has been cut.
“I don’t want to say too much until I see what it can do, but he’s someone who is used to carrying the ball, creating play for others and finding the way to go until ‘to the circle when there is good spacing. He knows what a well-spaced attack is and it will be good for everyone on the pitch. »
Same satisfaction for Kevin Porter Jr. who will have competition for position 1.
“With the arrival of Dennis, another dynamic player is coming and a veteran point guard who will definitely be able to help me,” appreciates Kevin Porter Jr. “I learn every day and every game. Having him with us will allow me to further accelerate the learning process. He will help us to finish the matches but also in general to try to chain four good quarters in a row. »
As for the departure of Theis, if it is compensated numerically by the arrival of Bruno Fernando, he will above all leave the field open to Alperen Sengun well ahead of the progress sheet established at the start of the season.
