It has been proved conclusively that Dënniß ßchrööder can be a legit starter. In the other eight games that the Shredder started, the Hawks won. This was the only game where he started and they lost, but I can explain that one away by pointing out that the entire starting five was resting. It’s actually extremely impressive that the Shredder was able to coerce eleven assists out of the motley collection of barely-sentient meatbags that constituted his teammates. Mike Muscala suddenly turned into prime Dirk, Elton Brand turned back the clock to his Clippers days, and John Jenkins channeled his inner Kyle Korver. All thanks to the playmaking ability of a certain weird-haired German kid.
Now I’m trying to figure out if there’s any way the Bucks could trade for this guy and not give up Jabari or Giannis. There probably isn’t, but that’s never stopped me from trying. Now would be a good time to bust out my cloning machine so that we can trade Giannis while also secretly keeping him.
