The Golden State Warriors will acquire point guard Dennis Schroder from the Brooklyn Nets, according to reports on Saturday.

Golden State will reportedly send injured guard De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks to the Nets. Brooklyn will also send a second-round pick to the Warriors.

Schroder is averaging 18.4 points and a career-best 6.6 assists in 23 games for the Nets this season. He is making 38.7 percent of his 3-point attempts and averaging 1.1 steals.

Schroder, 31, is in his 12th NBA season and the Warriors will be his eighth team. He spent his first five seasons with the Atlanta Hawks before he began bouncing around the league.

The trade can't go through until Sunday when Melton becomes eligible to be traded.

Melton underwent season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn ACL in his left knee on Dec. 4. Melton is expected to be fully recovered prior to the 2025-26 season.

Melton was injured during a game against the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 12.

Melton, 26, averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in six games (two starts) this season.

Melton has career averages of 9.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 356 games (148 starts) with the Phoenix Suns (2018-19), Memphis Grizzlies (2019-22), Philadelphia 76ers (2022-24) and the Warriors.
