Per NBA salary cap rules, the Pistons can take back up to $22.6 million in any sign-and-trade involving Schröder, who will reportedly sign a three-year, $45 million contract before he's dealt to the Kings. Alternatively, the Pistons can forego taking back salary to generate a player trade exception of $14.3 million.

Schröder, 31, fills an immediate need at point guard for Sacramento. The Kings were looking to bolster that spot on the free agency market this offseason after trading away star guard De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs at last season's trade deadline.
