As dumb as it sounds, there's a method to the madness. The Lakers are currently set to be over the cap next year with only 7 guys under contract. If I was his agent, I'd ask for the moon, too. Schroder was second in minutes and third in points for the Lakers in the playoffs, and LA will have a really tough time replacing his production with the avenues that will be available. He probably won't get that much, but he might get a lot more than people expect.
Personally, I'm rooting for him to get a stupid amount of money that will maintain the status quo with an aging LeBron and hamstring LA from making other moves.
