Tolu Smith III Contract & Salary

Tolu Smith III is on the books for $2,411,090 in 2026–27, the 14th largest cap hit on the Detroit Pistons roster and 1.6% of the team's $154.3M payroll.

That ranks 400th among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 1.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

This is an expiring contract: 2026-27 is the last season on it, worth $0 guaranteed.

Not every year is locked in: 2026-27 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 26, the deal covers his age-26 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.

He is one of 15 players on the Detroit Pistons' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $154,337,535.

Detroit Pistons sit at $154.3M in payroll and are currently classified Cap Space, with +$54.7M of room below the first apron.
