UPDATE: And early on Dec. 15 it became official, the Brooklyn Nets have traded Dennis Schroder to the Golden State Warriors.
The deal officially shakes out with Schroder and a 2025 second-round draft pick (via Miami, top 37 protected) going to Golden State for De’Anthony Melton, guard Reece Beekman and three second-round draft picks (2026 and 2028 via Atlanta and the Warriors 2029 selection).

The Warriors envision Schroder playing with Curry much of the time, providing secondary shot creation so defenses can’t load up on Curry the same way.

Stephen Curry was not pulling punches after the Warriors went scoreless for the final three minutes against the Rockets this week and ended up getting knocked out of the NBA Cup: “The pattern of scoreless droughts down the stretch has to be addressed or else we’ll be a mediocre team.”
Golden State’s search for more shot creation reportedly has them on the cusp of trading for veteran point guard Dennis Schroder, a story broken by Marc Stein of the Stein Line and confirmed by Shams Charania of ESPN. The trade cannot go through until Sunday when De’Anthony Melton becomes eligible to be traded (Dec. 15). That’s when he and two second round picks are headed to Brooklyn to complete the idea (if not Sunday, expect it soon after). Both Melton ($12.9 million) and Schroder ($13 million) are on expiring contracts.
Schroder, in his 12th NBA season, knows how to create for himself and others, and has played a key role as the hub of the Nets’ offense this season averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists a game. Schroder is known for a good pull-up jumper, but he can also work off the ball. This past summer, Schroder led Germany to a fourth-place finish at the Paris Olympics, a year after he led his home nation to the FIBA World Cup…
