Dennis Schroder Joins Seventh NBA Team, Approaching Record

Dennis Schroder has been traded to the Charlotte Hornets, making this his seventh team in just 30 months. This move brings him to a total of 12 different NBA teams, just one short of Ish Smith's record of 13 franchises.

Schroder's career began with a stable five-season stint at the Atlanta Hawks before he was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He had playoff success there, but after turning down a lucrative contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, he became a journeyman, moving between several teams including the Boston Celtics and the Houston Rockets.

Despite his frequent changes, Schroder remains a sought-after player due to his ability to perform well in critical moments, particularly in the playoffs. He has won two gold medals with Germany and has been recognized for his contributions in international tournaments. His role as a score-first ball-handler makes him valuable for teams needing offensive support, although he may be traded again if a team needs to adjust its payroll.
