Sources – Warriors acquire Dennis Schroder from Nets

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

According to sources, the Warriors will also receive a second-round pick from the Nets and will send three second-round picks to Brooklyn as part of the deal.

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

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

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

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

Schroder, 31, has an expiring contract worth $13 million.
