The NBA trade season is heating up following the Golden State Warriors' acquisition of Dennis Schroder from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for De'Anthony Melton, Reece Beekman, and three second-round picks. This move aims to bolster the Warriors' struggling bench as they look to improve their 3-7 record in recent games.
As the trade deadline approaches on February 6, teams are actively exploring options. The Warriors are reportedly weighing the future of Jonathan Kuminga, who could be pivotal in any potential trade for an All-Star player like Jimmy Butler.
The Los Angeles Lakers, currently positioned at No. 10 in the West, are also in search of depth, possibly targeting players such as Jonas Valanciunas or Brandon Ingram to enhance their roster.
The Nets, having traded Schroder, are not done yet and are looking to make further moves to improve their draft positioning, with several players like Dorian Finney-Smith and Bojan Bogdanovic available for trade.
