Finally decided! Pistons official: Schroder signs first and then exchanges! Take one round and send the King to exchange for one round

July 8th news The Pistons officially announced that the team will send Schroeder and the 2029 second round pick to the Kings to receive a 2026 second round pick. This is a transaction that signs first and then exchanges.

According to previous reports, Schroeder signed a three-year contract of 45 million, which was fully guaranteed in the first two years and partly guaranteed in the third year. The Kings will use the $16.8 million deal exception they received in Kevin Hurt's deal to receive Schroeder's $14 million salary.

This move will allow the kings to maintain the flexibility of their cap space and retain their full $14.1 million middle class special case.

Schroeder has been playing in three teams, including the Nets, Warriors and Pistons in the past 2024-25 season, averaging 13.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
