Shortly after Wojnarowski's report, Schroder that he would be joining the Celtics via his Instagram page.Schroder spent last season with the and prior to
Daniel Ponce De Leon Jersey the trade deadline the team . In an apparent attempt to bet on himself, Schroder turned that offer down and decided to see what he could get this summer.

When free agency rolled around, there were more point guards looking for big deals than teams with a need and the requisite cap space.
