Brooklyn Nets point guard Dennis
Schroder will find his new home in the Bay Area after the Golden
State Warriors traded for him in exchange for De’Anthony
Melton.

According to a report from
ESPN’s Shams Charania, Schroder and a 2nd round pick from the Nets
are headed to the Warriors in exchange for Melton and three 2nd
round picks.

Schroder has been productive for
Brooklyn this season, averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists in 33.6
minutes played per game. He has helped the supposed-to-be tanking
Nets team to a level of relevance and respect this year with a
10-15 record with just 4 games back from the 6th seed.

Schroder provides the extra
scorer the Warriors need behind superstar Stephen Curry, who’s
trekking the season without a bonafide second star.

The Warriors made the move by
sending out Melton, who tore his left ACL last month and is
expected to be out the entire season. 

Melton was playing well for
Golden State, bringing in secondary ball-handling, shooting, and
point-of-attack defense next to Curry in the backcourt.

“[It] changed everything,”
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. “De’Anthony was a guy who
could help get us organized offensively as a secondary ball
handler, pick-and-roll guy, but also be an on-ball defender,
spot-up shooter. We’re mixing and matching around his absence for
sure.
