Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Friday that the Cleveland Cavaliers traded Dennis Schröder to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Tre Mann plus cash.
- The Hornets are expected to take on the final two years of Schröder’s contract, roughly $14.8 million for 2026–27 and $15.5 million for 2027–28.
- The move makes Charlotte the twelfth NBA team in Schröder’s career and brings him one club short of the league record for different teams played for.
- Schröder reunites with former Atlanta coach Charles Lee in Charlotte and will join two recent German draftees on the Hornets’ roster, Hannes Steinbach and Christian Anderson Jr.
- Cleveland’s reported aim was to save money and create roster flexibility, leaving the Cavs to look for a cheaper backup guard and extra trade leverage this season.
