Sources – Warriors acquiring Dennis Schroder from Nets

The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a deal to acquire Brooklyn Nets point guard Dennis Schroder for De’Anthony Melton, sources told ESPN on Saturday.

The Warriors also receive a second-round pick from the Nets and send three second-round picks to Brooklyn in the deal, sources said.

Schroder has been one of the best guards in the NBA this year, pushing the Nets to the play-in game in the Eastern Conference early in the season.

In his first full season in Brooklyn since being traded from the Raptors last year, Schroder is averaging 18.4 points and a career-high 6.6 assists in 33.6 minutes. He has also made strides as an outside shooter, attempting a career-high 6.5 3-pointers per game. game on nearly 39% shooting.

The Nets entered the weekend ranked 10th in the conference and four losses behind the No. the 6 seed.

Melton, who signed a one-year deal this offseason, went down with a torn ACL last month and is out for the rest of the season. The Warriors have struggled without him; after a hot start to the year, Golden State has lost seven of their last nine games.

Schroder, 31, is on an expiring contract worth $13 million.
