I really wonder, where does this statement come from? I know Dennis is not the most humble or unselfish guy, but a locker room cancer? I read some rumors that he clashed with Kyle Kuzma (not really teammate of the year caliber either) and was blamed for a bad Lakers 20/21 season where noone could stay healthy. Anything other than that?
I think he played well in Atlanta, OKC and most of the time with the Lakers. It's not his fault he got overpayed and could not live up to the expectations. Then he gambled on his extension with the Lakes and lost desasterously, but i never really heard him complain. He's not a bad player if you take him what he is, a very quick, smaller scoring guard with OK defense, a limited ability to create for others and a shaky 3pt shot. Not saying he is the answer to the Mavs roster holes, but he would be a steal at a minimum contract and replace a good part of what Brunson did.
Comparing Jalen's best (last season) to Schroeder at the same age (the worse of his OKC seasons played with Westbrook/PG). Major difference was efficency and turnovers. Next season with CP, he was more efficient.
