Warriors finalizing trade to acquire Nets guard Dennis Schröder

The Golden State Warriors are finalizing a deal to acquire Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schröder according to a report from ESPN on Saturday.

The Warriors will reportedly send De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks to the Nets in exchange for Schröder and a second-round pick.

Schröder, 31, is in the midst of a bounce-back season with the Nets, averaging 18.4 points, 6.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 23 starts this season. He would bolster the back court of a Warriors team that is back in the title conversation this season with a record of 14-10, good enough for the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference.

Melton, who the Warriors signed to a one-year, $12.8 million contract in the offseason, was ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season earlier this month due to a left ACL sprain.

The Nets acquired Schröder in a trade with the Toronto Raptors in February. Schröder signed a two-year, $25.4 million contract with Toronto in 2023 that will expire this summer.

The unofficial start to the NBA's trade season is Sunday, Dec. 15, when a majority of players who signed contracts last summer will become trade eligible. The NBA trade deadline is on Feb. 6.
