We stamp a grade on the Kings' decision to give a three-year contract to veteran point guard Dennis Schroder in NBA free agency

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.

Dennis Schroder is leaving the Pistons and joining the Kings in the Western Conference with a new contract in free agency.
