Golden State: The Warriors really hit the jackpot by snagging Dennis Schröder from the Nets. It all went down on Sunday, and it’s a big deal for them.
They were in a tight spot with their salary cap, being just under the luxury tax apron after a complicated six-team deal earlier. They had to be smart about any trades.
Schröder’s salary is only a bit higher than De’Anthony Melton’s, who’s out for the season with an injury. So, it was a perfect fit for the Warriors, who needed some scoring help.
Brian Windhorst, an NBA analyst, pointed out that this trade was a win-win. They traded an injured player for someone who can contribute right away. Plus, they didn’t lose any key players in the process.
Now, with Schröder averaging a solid 18.4 points per game, he’s set to practice with the team soon and will likely play against the Grizzlies. It’ll be interesting to see if he starts or comes off the bench.
Marc J. Spears from Andscape thinks this is a huge addition for the Warriors. They’ve been needing someone like him to step up and help with scoring and playmaking.
As they figure out how Schröder fits in, the Warriors are also keeping an eye on future moves. If they decide they need another big name, they’ve got the resources to make it happen.
