In the aftermath of the Dennis Schroder trade, more reports are coming out about the details of the negotiations. Marc Stein and Jake Fischer are reporting that the Warriors considered trading for Schroder and Cam Johnson. In the case that they wanted to trade for both players, the Warriors would have needed to send Jonathan Kuminga to the Nets to make the deal happen.
“To acquire both Schröder and Cam Johnson from the Nets, as league sources say was also weighed by the Warriors, almost certainly would have required them to surrender Jonathan Kuminga.”
In the end, the Warriors opted to land Dennis Schroder for a much cheaper haul. The Warriors gave up De'Anthony Melton and three second-round draft picks to the Nets in exchange for Dennis Schroder and a second-round draft pack. That is an incredibly cheap price for a player who has played as well as Schroder has this season.
This season, Schroder is averaging 18.4 points, 6.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game, while shooting 45.2% from the field, 38.7% from the three-point line, and 88.9% from the free-throw line this year. He has been one of the key players in the Nets' surprisingly strong start to the season this year.
