The Detroit Pistons have finalized their sign-and-trade with the Sacramento Kings.
They will receive a heavily-protected second-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and a player trade exception worth up to $14.3 million in exchange for Dennis Schröder and the least favorable of their 2029 second-round picks. Schröder reportedly is signing a three-year deal worth $45 million.

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder (17) throws the ball up for Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (0) during the second half of Game 6 for the first round of NBA playoffs at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, May 1, 2025.
The trade exception is active for a year and will allow the Pistons to take in salary up to that number without it impacting their cap space. The 2026 second round pick is from the Charlotte Hornets , a person with knowledge of the deal told the Free Press, but it's protected 1-55 and unlikely to convey. The purpose of the deal was to acquire the trade exception.
Schröder was a February trade deadline acquisition for the Pistons and quickly became a core rotation player, averaging 10.8 points and 5.3 assists in 25.2 minutes per game.
