The Warriors are finalizing a deal with the Nets to land Dennis Schroder and one second-round pick in exchange for De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Warriors have been looking for playmaking help, and they have found some with Schroder. The veteran guard is averaging 18.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.1 steals and a career-high 2.5 triples across 33.6 minutes in 23 games as the Nets' starting point guard. He will now join a backcourt with Stephen Curry and compete for minutes with the likes of Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski. Although the trade can't be completed until Sunday, it is unclear if Schroder will play a backup point guard role or start alongside Curry right away.
