Detroit Pistons will ship Dennis Schroder to the Sacramento Kings in a sign-and-trade deal, a league source told the Free Press on Wednesday, July 2 .

The veteran guard has agreed to a three-year contract worth $45 million , according to The Athletic.

The Pistons can take back up to $22.6 million in salary in any Schroder deal, which could be expanded to include multiple teams.

If they decide not to take back salary, they will instead gain a player trade exception worth $14.3 million .

Here are five players around the league who will fill needs for the Pistons.

Sam Hauser has thrived in a bench role for the Celtics this season .

He's on an expiring contract, which would give the Pistons additional means to swing a move at the February trade deadline.

Hauser is a specialist, with a career 42% mark beyond the arc.

The Pistons play New York Knicks in Las Vegas Summer League exhibition.
