NBA rumors: Dennis Schroeder wants to remain a Net

3 weeks ago – via New York Post
Dennis Schroeder has stepped into the breach and instantly taken on a leadership role. After arriving at the trade deadline, the Nets not just welcomed him but have willingly followed him. And the 30-year-old said before Wednesday’s 106-102 victory over the Raptors that he hopes and plans to be the point guard in Brooklyn again next season. “Of course. I always want to be stationed somewhere where people show me appreciation,” Schroeder told The Post before scoring 21 points in Wednesday’s win. “And I felt that from the first day — people reaching out to my family, to my wife, to my mom. That shows, OK, they really want me. And the playing style, as well, I like. They trust me, in what I am capable of. And of course I want to stay.

Charles Oakley on Joel Embiid: He's too big to be crying

Charles Oakley once believed Joel Embiid could be an all-time great. But the whining and losing has changed his mind. “Everybody says he’s hurt,” Oakley said Tuesday on SiriusXM NBA Radio’s “The Starting Lineup” show. “If you’re hurt, stay home and watch it on TV like everybody else is doing. I don’t want hear this, ‘I’m giving it my all.’ You’re a seven-footer shooting 3s. I mean, you stand out around the 3-point line what the guards gonna do? So I think that, you know, they cry too much. All these guys in the league cry too much. He’s too big to be crying. I’m sorry I said about two years ago, he could be the next Wilt Chamberlain. I don’t know. He could be the next Dunkin Donut or somebody because he just cry.”

Oakley, meanwhile, is much more impressed with Jalen Brunson, who he calls the best Knick since Clyde Frazier – even better than Oakley’s former teammate, Patrick Ewing. “I’m talking about holding guys accountable. Having somebody that’s fun to play with. Being a real leader. And I think that when we played, our best player didn’t lead,” Oakley told The Post before the series. “I didn’t say he’s a better player [than Ewing]. He’s doing better things. Make the game more fun. Make people enjoy the game. Make players want to play want to play with him.”

Charles Barkley shut down the Devin Booker to the Knicks “rumor” (if we can call it a rumor) on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM on Tuesday morning. “Stephen A. thinks everybody wants to go to New York,” Barkley said on The Bickley and Marotta Show. “Last few years, it’s been Donovan Mitchell. Last time … KD was a free agent it was New York. Stephen A is a friend of mine, and I love Stephen A, but he wants everyone in New York. He’s not going to die happy until the Knicks win a championship. … You can skip that (rumor).”

Jamal Murray was leaving Michael Malone’s office after arguing his way onto the floor. In a pregame meeting that Malone described as “an emotional one,” Murray hashed out his injury status with the head coach and the team VP of sports medicine, Steve Short. Needless to say, Murray emerged triumphant, if teary-eyed. The night ended with his second game-winning shot of the series, a leaning pull-up jumper with 3.6 seconds left to knock out his hero, LeBron James, for the second consecutive season.
