The Golden State Warriors are finalizing a trade to acquire guard Dennis Schröder from the Brooklyn Nets. In exchange, the Warriors will send De'Anthony Melton, along with three second-round draft picks, to Brooklyn. Schröder, who is averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists this season, is on an expiring contract worth $13 million. The trade is expected to be officially completed on Sunday, allowing Schröder to join the Warriors for practice early next week and potentially debut on Thursday against Memphis. This move is seen as a response to the Warriors' recent struggles, as they seek to bolster their backcourt scoring and playmaking capabilities. The Nets, meanwhile, appear to be positioning themselves for a rebuild, increasing their total of second-round picks to 13 with this deal.
