The Golden State Warriors' ability to acquire Dennis Schröder without giving up a first-round pick could potentially contribute to reshaping the NBA trade market.
The Brooklyn Nets trading Schröder and a second-round pick in exchange for three more second-rounders "could signify a shift toward that caliber of player going for multiple second-round picks rather than a first-round pick," sources told The Athletic's Jovan Buha.
Schröder is averaging 18.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game in his most productive season since 2019-20. The New York Post's Brian Lewis reported five days before the trade that the Nets would "likely" ask for a first-round pick in exchange for the veteran guard.
