NBA -Guard Dennis Schroder was included in a blockbuster trade on Wednesday night, where Jimmy Butler was to go from Miami Heat to Golden State Warriors, according to several reports.
Schroder will reportedly be moved to Utah Jazz as part of a multi-team trade that also included Detroit Pistons. The guard’s admission of the agreement came after he compared the trade deadline with “Modern Slavery.”

He made the eyebrow-gathering remarks in an interview with the NBC Sports Bay area, which complained about the lack of the control that a player has on where they go in such offers.
“It’s like modern slavery,” he told the network. “It’s modern slavery at the end of the day. Everyone can decide where you are going even if you have a contract. Yes, of course we make a lot of money and we can feed our families but at the end of the day if They say, ‘You won’t come to work tomorrow, you’re going over there,’ they can decide.
“But still grateful that we are here and that we can live this every single day. I think everyone who is in here is blessed. But if you really think about it, it’s a little crazy that The organization can tell you, ‘we want you to be a team-first but you go over there.

Schroder added that control that was out of the players’ hands and left to the NBA owners is something that the guard wanted the league to eventually find out. The veteran was already traded earlier in the season from Brooklyn Nets to Warriors. The latest reported trade would be the sixth time he has been acting in his career.
Warrior’s principal coach Steve Kerr suggested that the trade deadline be moved to the All-Star break as his rotations were thrown off the trade before their games.
“I think the league should consider making the trade deadline at the All-Star break just so you don’t have to meet these games where guys are traded half an hour before a game and you try to treat feelings and try to win a Games, ”said Kerr.
