Updated · 2026–27 season
Dennis Schröder is on the books for $14,809,200 in 2026–27, the 5th largest cap hit on the Charlotte Hornets roster and 8.2% of the team's $179.7M payroll.
That ranks 123rd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 9.0% of the $165.0M salary cap.
The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $14,809,200 in guaranteed money.
The money climbs as it goes: $14,809,200 in the first year up to $15,514,400 in the last, a 5% rise across the deal.
Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 non-guaranteed.
The non-guaranteed money is not real money until it is: the team can waive him before the guarantee date and carry none of it, which is why the guaranteed total below is lower than the headline number.
At 33, he is on the far side of the aging curve, and the deal still has him on the books through age 34.
He is the 5th highest-paid of the 17 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.
He is one of 17 players on the Charlotte Hornets' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $179,704,708.
