Schroeder signed with Kings: 45 million three-year contract, starting the second phase of his career

In the early morning of July 2, according to the latest news from ESPN, the Sacramento Kings have reached a three-year $45 million contract with Dennis Schroeder. This is the second largest contract Schroeder signed in his career, with a total value of $70 million in four-year contracts he signed with the Atlanta Hawks in 2017.

According to well-known journalist Shams, Schroeder's performance in the second half of the Pistons after experiencing a complex Warriors season and the twists and turns with the Heat. He averaged 13.1 points, 5.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game, while in the playoffs, he averaged 12.5 points, 3.7 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.17 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 47.6%. This series of data has made the king's management very interested in him.

Regarding the specific details of this contract, Schroeder's annual salary in the 2025-26 season was 14.28 million, 15 million in the 2026-27 season, and 15.71 million in the 2027-28 season. When signing this contract, 31-year-old Schroeder will enter the age of 34 and gradually enter the late stage of his career.

However, Kings reporter Jack Dunn questioned the signing, pointing out whether the team will continue to retain Monk. Furthermore, he mentioned that the king gave up Valanciunas in order to introduce Schroeder, which was uneasy. Before the Kings signed Schroeder, the team had sent Valan to Denver in exchange for the lower-paid Salic, which obviously paved the way for Schroeder's joining.

It is worth mentioning that Schroeder has played for 10 teams in his career and is known as the real "tramp". His career resume includes the Hawks, Thunder, Lakers, Nets, Raptors, Celtics, Pistons, Rockets, Warriors and now the Kings. Fans will wait and see the new chapter of this time.
