Hornets eye Dennis Schroder as potential trade target from Pistons

Summary

The Charlotte Hornets are reportedly interested in acquiring Dennis Schroder from the Detroit Pistons ahead of the 2026-2027 NBA season. Sources indicate that Hornets executive Jeff Peterson has maintained interest in Schroder since their previous time together in Atlanta. Other teams mentioned as potential suitors include the Los Angeles Clippers and the Milwaukee Bucks, though their interest appears less intense. Schroder previously signed a three-year, $44.4 million contract with the Sacramento Kings but was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in February 2026.
