BREAKING TRADE: : Warriors finalizing trade for Schröder, sending Melton to Nets

Report: Warriors finalizing trade for Schroder, sending Melton to Nets -  Yahoo Sports

Help is on the way for the Warriors.

Golden State is finalizing a trade to acquire veteran guard Dennis Schröder and a second-round draft pick from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for injured guard De’Anthony Melton and three second-round picks, a source confirmed to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole on Saturday. The trade will be completed Sunday when Melton becomes trade-eligible.

ESPN’s Shams Charania was first to report the news.

The Nets will take on what remains of Melton’s one-year, $12.8 million contract he signed this past offseason, per The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. Melton suffered a partially torn left ACL against the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 12 and underwent surgery earlier on Dec. 4 in Los Angeles. He is expected to make a full recovery in order to play next season.

The Warriors started out the 2024-25 NBA season red hot but since have cooled down, winning just four of their last 12 games to fall to 14-10 and fifth place in the Western Conference. Their latest loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday knocked them out of the NBA Cup and left Dub Nation calling for action ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

Golden State’s recent shooting struggles appear to have forced general manager Mike Dunleavy’s hand, and he managed to get it done without surrendering any of the Warriors’ young talent.

Schröder, who is averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game this season, certainly will help provide Golden State with an offensive spark. And as a seasoned vet in his 12th NBA season, the 31-year-old is exactly the kind of court-savvy player the Warriors are known to covet.
