Report: Warriors finalizing deal for Nets' Schroder

The Golden State Warriors are finalizing a deal to acquire Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder and a second-round pick for De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

The move is on course to be completed Sunday, when Melton becomes trade-eligible.

Schroder is averaging 18.4 points on 45.2% field-goal shooting, along with 6.6 assists, three rebounds, and 1.1 steals. The veteran guard is also knocking down a career-best 2.5 shots from three, shooting 38.7%.

The Nets have been more competitive than anticipated this campaign, ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference with a 10-15 record.

Golden State has gone 3-7 over its past 10 contests, sitting fifth in the Western Conference at 14-10. The franchise lost Melton for the season in November because of a season-ending ACL injury. The 26-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Warriors in the summer.

The Warriors have reportedly been in the market for a second star to pair with Stephen Curry. While not considered a star, Schroder would become the team's second-leading scorer behind Curry's 22.8 points per game.

The Nets now have 13 second-round picks at their disposal, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Schroder, 31, is in the final season of a two-year, $25.4-million contract he originally signed with the Toronto Raptors in 2023.

The journeyman guard has spent 12 seasons in the NBA, also playing for the Atlanta Hawks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, and Houston Rockets. He holds career averages of 14.2 points, 4.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds.
