Hornets Getting Dennis Schroder in Trade with Cavaliers, AP Source Says
Cleveland moves Schröder to create salary-cap flexibility after his limited playoff role and a minus-6.0 net rating in the postseason.
- On Friday, August 14, 2026, the Cleveland Cavaliers traded Dennis Schröder and cash to the Charlotte Hornets for Tre Mann, reshaping the backcourt for both NBA franchises ahead of the 2026-27 season.
- Charlotte acquires an "established veteran at point guard" with history under Hornets president Jeff Peterson and coach Charles Lee from his Atlanta tenure, while the trade helps Cleveland remain below NBA tax-apron rules.
- The deal creates roughly $6.8 million in savings, moving Cleveland approximately $29.7 million below the first tax apron. Schröder is a 32-year-old veteran who has played 11 NBA teams, while Mann is a 25-year-old guard.

- Cleveland continues working on its roster, linked to potential moves involving Peyton Watson and efforts to re-sign James Harden following their sweep by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.
