Dennis Schroder played in the 2012 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship and assisted the German team to the 5th place, averaging 2 assists, 6.1 points, 1.8 rebounds in 14.6 minutes on the court.

Dennis Schroder had expressed a desire to play for Germany at the 2020 Summer Olympics. But, the German Basketball Federation will not be able to meet the financial insurance requirements.
Re-signing with the Lakers
There are lots of reasons why Dennis Schroder is not going to resign with the Lakers. They already have 6 guards that expect to play, for the starters: Wayne Ellington, Westbrook, Kent Bazemore, Malik Monk, Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn. The two sides almost had a positive experience together last season. Then there is the tax bill.
Currently, the Lakers owe over 153 dollars in salaries for the next season. The tax line is 136 dollars. It means that the Lakers are about 16.7 million dollars above it, and the tax becomes increasingly punitive for each dollar you go above it. For the first 5 million dollars above the line, the teams owe 1.50 dollars for every dollar spent. Between 5-10 million dollars above the line, that will go up to 1.75 dollar, and in the 10-15 million dollar range, it jumps to 2.50 dollar. At 15-20 million dollars, it leaps again to 3.25 dollars, and an extra 50 cents is added for every 5 million dollar increment beyond that.
It means that now the Lakers owe 34.8 million dollar in taxes. Well, let us add one more minimum salary to get them to 13 players. That will push their team salary above 155 million dollars and their tax bill up to 39.8 million dollars. The 84 million dollar contract Dennis Schroder turned down has paid him an average of 21 million dollar per year. Let us say that he would take half of that on a one-year deal at 10.5 million dollars. It would push the Lakers’ tax bill up to about 80.3 million dollars. Try to combine that with their 165.5 million dollar payroll and they would be paying almost 250 million dollars in player salaries alone next season. Basically, this is why Alex Caruso is no longer part of the team. The tax bill would be big.
