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.
