Dylan Cardwell is on the books for $2,150,917 in 2026–27, the 13th largest cap hit on the Sacramento Kings roster and 1.1% of the team's $193.9M payroll.

That ranks 433rd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 1.3% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $2,150,917 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $2,150,917 in the first year up to $2,735,698 in the last, a 27% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 non-guaranteed, 2028-29 team option.

The option year belongs to the team, which makes that season a decision point rather than a commitment: it can be picked up cheaply or declined outright.

At 24, the deal covers his age-24 through age-26 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He sits in the bottom third of the roster by salary, the part of the payroll teams use to fill out the depth chart without moving the cap needle.
