The Boston Celtics have offered Dennis Schroder a one-year deal at the taxpayer midlevel exception of $5.9 million, sources tell Jordan Schultz of ESPN.

Schroder wants the full midlevel exception of $9.5 million and also seeks a second-year player option.

The Celtics want to avoid being hard-capped for the 21-22 season.

Schroder turned down an extension offer from the Los Angeles Lakers during the 20-21 season worth in excess of $80 million over four seasons.
