The Warriors are adding some help to bolster their backcourt two months into the season.
According to multiple reports, Golden State is set to acquire Dennis Schröder from Brooklyn in exchange for a package centered around De’Anthony Melton, who is out for the remainder of the season after undergoing ACL surgery.
Schröder is enjoying a fast start to the season in Brooklyn. Through 18 games, he’s averaging 18.4 points, 6.6 assists and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from 3-point range. He joins a Warriors team that has lost seven of nine games after a hot 12-3 start to the season.
The trade is expected to be finalized on Sunday, Dec. 15, which is when a large group of NBA players becomes trade-eligible. Ahead of the calls that will make the deal official, here is everything to know about the trade.

NBA insiders Jake Fischer and Marc Stein reported that Golden State and Brooklyn have agreed on a deal sending Schröder to the Bay in exchange for Melton. The reports indicate that the Warriors will not send out any first-round draft capital.
ESPN’s Shams Charania outlined the framework, reporting that Golden State will receive one second-round pick while sending three second-round picks to Brooklyn in the deal.
Melton is on an expiring contract and his salary made for a one-for-one match for Schröder’s. Because he will enter free agency in late June, Melton could theoretically rejoin Golden State as a free agent next year.
