Dennis Schroder Signs Three-Year $45M Deal With Sacramento Kings

Dennis Schroder has agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract with the Sacramento Kings, marking a significant new chapter after bouncing around multiple NBA teams in recent years. Schroder, who recently turned 32, expressed enthusiasm about joining Sacramento, highlighting the city's warm weather and the opportunity for stability. Last season, Schroder played for the Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, and Detroit Pistons, finishing strong with a notable playoff performance for the Pistons, averaging 12.5 points and shooting nearly 48% from three-point range. This deal comes after a series of shorter contracts and trades following Schroder's decision in 2021 to turn down a more lucrative extension with the Lakers, a choice that led to a substantial financial loss. The Kings view Schroder as a key point guard to fill the gap left by De'Aaron Fox's trade to the Spurs. His contract includes guarantees for the first two seasons and a partially guaranteed third year, reflecting renewed confidence in his value after his recent performances.
