Schröder shares his son’s hilarious reaction to the Warriors trade originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Dennis Schröder’s son is a big fan of Steph Curry.

The Warriors’ newest member explained his son Dennis Jr.’s reaction when he heard he had been traded to Golden State.

“He said, ‘Oh, we’re lucky, at least now it’s a good team,'” Schröder said at his opening press conference on Tuesday. “That was the first time I had to laugh and was in a bad mood. He’s a Steph Curry fan, of course…

“He watches every game, he just plays basketball and will be excited to see him. Even yesterday when I walked in he asked, “Was Steph Curry there?” I thought, “You’re not going to ask me how I’m doing?”

The well-traveled NBA veteran comes to a Warriors team in desperate need of stability and a second scoring option behind Curry. The 31-year-old averaged 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game with the Brooklyn Nets this season.

For Steve Kerr and the rest of the Warriors, the biggest challenge will be finding consistent scoring options behind Curry. Golden State started the 2024-25 NBA season red-hot but has cooled since then, winning just four of their last 13 games, dropping them to eighth place in the Western Conference at 14-11.

It’s unrealistic to expect Curry to be supernatural every night, so adding Schröder will give the team another strong two-way player who can make shots under pressure.

Kerr expects the veteran to play the majority of the non-Curry minutes, but didn’t rule out playing them together in the backcourt.

Of course, pairing the two on the court will be a huge hit for Dennis Jr. and Golden State fans.
