“Making demands" ie: starting over Alex Caruso... that's not even a demand that's an obvious fact
I feel like you may be purposefully missing the point now so I’ll just direct you to the career of Manu Ginobili if you want to see the difference.
Stephen Jackson was better than Ginobili when he came in and was more important to Timmys second ring. Bowen wasn’t going to be benched. Let’s not act like Manu could just say I want to start from day one. Yes there were points afterward he could but he played with guys like Finley and Brent Barry starting all of whom were nba starters on multiple teams ... the situation isn’t the same as I see Cook and Caruso on the roster in my spot and I’m go let you bench me for them in my contract year despite me clearly saying I don’t want to be a Laker or Clipper a year before

As bad as he has played, I agree with this sentiment. Not being used properly today but not much of a choice today. He’s fine as 3rd or 4th option or scorer off the bench. Still doesn’t deserve 20 million plus that he’s asking for.
I'm cool on Schroder, I'd rather the Lakers let him walk... He has a loose handle, and doesn't maintain control and poor court vision. He's a good addition with an LBJ, AD on the floor, but he's mediocre at best.
Just last year he was a 6th man, but now he's a starter on the Lakers...
I would love Dennis as a 6th man scorer a la his time in OKC but I'd love Clarkson even more in that role and he just took 4 / $52M.... so Dennis is clearly outpacing himself.
Dennis has lost all confidence in himself and the team. From lazy passes to passing without a purpose to shooting without purpose. _________________ Starting Lakers Dynasty6.0! NOW!!

....." each year in Lakerland is marked by four seasons: Kobe’s Mad at His Teammates; Kobe’s Shooting Too Much; Kobe Leads the Victory Parade; Kobe Receives His Championship Ring."
Dennis has lost all confidence in himself and the team. From lazy passes to passing without a purpose to shooting without purpose.
It doesn’t help that he was jawing up with AD and Dudley during the Raptors game, I have seen Laker players and knew they wanna succeed as a Laker I don’t see that with Dennis.
Not everyone can handle the pressure. I thought Dennis could and he may still in the playoffs with the help of 2 superstars, but he has failed in his pursuit of being a starter and leading a team tbh.
It could be argued that 20 year old THT has led the team better in a couple of these games.
He’s overplaying his hand and the only thing that will save him now is a great playoff run.

I wish he had a quicker release on his 3 ball. _________________ “You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.” - Kobe Bryant

There’s a reason why OKC was content with getting #28 for him. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
He has that great speed to beat the defender, but besides kicking it out to the corner he has nothing. Really wish he could run some pnr with Trezz where he either dumps it off or takes the layup. To many drives that result in blocks or turnovers.
