Dennis Schröder is headed to the Bay.
The Golden State Warriors traded for Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schröder on Saturday afternoon, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
In exchange, the Nets will get De’Anthony Melton and three future second-round draft picks. The Warriors will also get a future second-round pick in the deal.
The move gives the Warriors, who are 5th in the Western Conference, another shooter to pair alongside all-time 3-point leader Stephen Curry.
The trade is expected to be finalized Sunday when league rules allow certain moves to be made.
Schröder is averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists this season for the Nets, who are 10th in the Eastern Conference. But the trade doesn’t give them any on-court help this year: Melton is out for the remainder of the season while recovering from surgery to repair his left ACL.
By league rule, Melton could not be traded before Sunday.
The move gives the Warriors, who are fifth in the Western Conference at 14-10, another shooter to pair alongside all-time 3-point leader Stephen Curry. Schröder is making 2.5 3-pointers per game this season and shooting 39% from beyond the arc — both career-bests.
Golden State will become Schröder’s eighth team in 12 NBA seasons. He had stints with Atlanta, Oklahoma City, the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston, Toronto and Houston before joining the Nets. He also helped lead Germany to the 2023 Basketball World Cup title.
