The Golden State Warriors are reportedly at the doorstep of a deal to acquire Dennis Schroder from the Brooklyn Nets.

The Warriors, per multiple reports, have agreed to send De’Anthony Melton and three second-round picks to the Nets for Schroder and a second-round pick, per ESPN. Melton is out for the season with a torn ACL and becomes trade-eligible today.

Schroder, 31, is having a fantastic season for the Nets, who have overachieved. He’s averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game while shooting 38.7% from 3. While he’s undersized at 6-foot-1, Schroder can be a pesky defender.

Schroder would fit with the Warriors as an on-ball creator and second-unit initiator. Their late-game offense has been especially clunky and could use another option next to Steph Curry to handle ball pressure.

Earlier this year, Schroder dropped 31 points in as many minutes in a win over the Warriors.

“Schroder was phenomenal tonight,” Kerr said after that loss.

Schroder is in his 13th season and is a career 32% 3-point shooter. His stops with the Nets, Thunder and Lakers were much more productive than his brief stints in Boston and Houston.

If the package is as reported, the Warriors will have brought in a contributor — and possibly someone who can close games — without giving up their best trade assets in their first-round picks, Jonathan Kuminga or Brandin Podziemski.

Because Schroder’s expiring $13 million salary is so similar to Melton’s, and the Warriors are enough below the first apron, the teams can do a one-for-one swap.

Asked about Schroder’s potential fit on the Warriors, veteran wing Andrew Wiggins said the point guard would fit with any team.

“He’s an explosive, quick guard that can kind of do it all,” Wiggins said. “He defends, can get to the rim, get people involved. Really good player.”

Sixers rookie McCain out indefinitely

Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jared McCain has a meniscus tear in his left knee that requires surgery and is expected to be out indefinitely.

McCain who has starred for the struggling Sixers early in the season, reported a sore left knee after Friday night’s 121-107 loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Philadelphia said an MRI on Saturday showed a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee that requires surgery.

McCain, the 16th overall pick in the draft out of Duke, is the leading scorer among rookies this season, averaging 15.3 points through the first 23 games. McCain, who is averaging 2.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists, finished with five points and three assists in 29 minutes against the Pacers.

Also against Indiana on Friday, Sixers center Joel Embiid sustained a sinus fracture while going for a defensive rebound late in the first half of the loss. The team said Embiid, who had 12 points, four rebounds and five assists in 17 1/2 minutes, will be further evaluated this weekend.

Embiid was only playing his sixth game out of the 23. He has been bothered by swelling in his left knee and also served a three-game suspension for physical contact with a reporter.

Injuries to Philadelphia stars Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George — billed as the team’s “Big Three” after George’s offseason arrival — have limited the trio to playing parts of only three games together. As a result, the Sixers have stumbled to a 7-16 start.

Through it all, McCain has been one of the few highlights, scoring a career-high 34 points in a loss to Cleveland in mid-November. The 20-year-old guard has scored 20 or more points in eight games this season.

Pistons make room ahead of deadline

The Detroit Pistons waived center Paul Reed on Saturday, giving them more flexibility ahead of the start of the NBA’s trade season today.

The Pistons now have two open roster spots and are currently under the league’s required salary cap by moving on from Reed’s $7.8 million contract. Reed’s contract was set to become fully guaranteed on Jan. 10, per Spotrac.

Reed joined the Pistons after the Philadelphia 76ers waived him in July.

He averaged 4.8 points and 1.9 rebounds in 12 games. Reed had his best performance during the Pistons’ 108-107 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Nov. 6.
