Dennis Schroder traded to Utah Jazz amid 'modern slavery' remarks

NBA guard Dennis Schroder has sparked controversy with his remarks comparing NBA trades to 'modern slavery' during an interview, criticizing the lack of player autonomy in trade decisions. His comments came just before he was traded from the Golden State Warriors to the Utah Jazz as part of a multi-team deal that sent Jimmy Butler to the Warriors. Schroder, who has already been traded multiple times throughout his career, expressed frustration over the control teams have over players, despite their contracts. Following the trade, it is reported that the Jazz do not intend to keep him, potentially leading to another swift exit before the trade deadline. His comments have resonated with fans and players alike, igniting discussions about the nature of player mobility and loyalty in the NBA. The swift nature of his trade following his remarks has led to speculation and some humor among NBA fans on social media.
