Very reasonable chance that he has an OK season like the last few ones (decent scorer regular season, poor playoff) and still easily gets 15M/year. Then you'll have the compare the 4/84 to the 5/85 or whatever
I wasn't suggesting that Dennis Schroder would be rattling a tin cup on the street because of this move. But even rich people get upset when they make a financial decision this bad.
He obviously is betting on himself by signing a one-year deal. If he has an OK season, I'm sure he will get more than the $5.9 million the Celtics are paying him. But I'll be surprised if he gets close to the $21 million the Lakers were offering him. He is unlikely to play more than 20 minutes a game if Smart stays healthy.
