Warriors Exploring Trade Options for Nets' Johnson, Finney-Smith, and Schröder

Golden State reportedly aims to enhance roster depth with Brooklyn veterans as they seek to optimize Stephen Curry's championship window.

The Warriors are reportedly in exploratory trade discussions for Nets players Cam Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Dennis Schröder, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Golden State is looking to use De'Anthony Melton's $12.8 million expiring contract and draft picks as trade assets to acquire one or more of these players.
Cam Johnson, averaging a career-high 18.8 points per game, is the most sought-after target but would require a significant trade package due to his high value and contract through 2026-27.
Veteran guard Dennis Schröder and forward Dorian Finney-Smith are also having strong seasons, offering scoring, playmaking, and defensive versatility, with both on expiring or near-expiring contracts.
The Warriors, currently fifth in the Western Conference, are aiming to bolster their roster after recent postseason struggles and roster changes, including Klay Thompson's departure in free agency.
