San Francisco, CA Dec 15, (V7N)– The Golden State Warriors are set to acquire veteran point guard Dennis Schroder from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade that will bolster their backcourt depth. According to reports, Golden State will send injured guard De’Anthony Melton and three second-round draft picks to Brooklyn, while the Nets will include an additional second-round pick heading to the Warriors.

Schroder’s Stellar Form

Schroder, 31, has been a bright spot for the Nets this season, averaging 18.4 points, a career-high 6.6 assists, and 1.1 steals over 23 games. His shooting efficiency, including 38.7% from beyond the arc, adds valuable offensive firepower to the Warriors' lineup. The trade marks the eighth stop in Schroder’s 12-year NBA career, which began with the Atlanta Hawks.

With the Warriors looking to solidify their playoff push, Schroder’s playmaking and scoring ability could complement their existing core, led by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Melton’s Departure

The Warriors part ways with De’Anthony Melton, who recently underwent season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn ACL in his left knee. Melton, 26, sustained the injury in a game against the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 12 and is expected to return fully healthy ahead of the 2025-26 season.

In six games this season, Melton averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. Across his career, he has posted averages of 9.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in stints with the Suns, Grizzlies, 76ers, and Warriors.

Trade Logistics

The deal cannot be finalized until Sunday, when Melton becomes eligible for a trade following his recent contract extension.

Implications for Both Teams

For Golden State, the acquisition of Schroder provides immediate backcourt support and veteran experience as they navigate a competitive Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Nets gain future draft assets while offloading a veteran guard, signaling a potential shift toward long-term rebuilding.

The Warriors will hope Schroder’s arrival reinvigorates their campaign, while the Nets will focus on developing young talent and leveraging their additional draft picks.
