The Golden State Warriors are finalizing a deal to acquire guard Dennis Schroder from the Brooklyn Nets, according to multiple sources. In exchange, the Warriors will send guard De'Anthony Melton and three second-round draft picks to the Nets, while receiving Schroder and one second-round pick. Schroder, on an expiring $13 million contract, is averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game, shooting 38.7% from three-point range, and has been instrumental in the Nets' surprise push for a playoff berth. The Warriors, who are $533,659 under the first apron hard cap, will not surrender any first-round picks in the trade. Both players become trade-eligible on Sunday, when the deal is expected to be finalized. The move addresses the Warriors' need for an extra shooter and playmaker without exceeding salary cap constraints.
