Schroder ended up with the Detroit Pistons. With the move, Schroder has played for seven different teams in the past four seasons and nine in his career. No wonder <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-dennis-schroder-compares-nba-trade-deadline-to-modern-slavery">Schroder compared the NBA Trade Deadline to slavery</a>.</p><p>Although nine teams seems like quite a lot, there have been other players who exceeded that total. Here is a look at the 10 NBA players who played for more teams than Dennis Schroder.</p><p>Check out the gallery.</p><h2><b>1. Ish Smith (13)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Ish-Smith-drives-to-the-basket.jpg"><figcaption>Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, New Orleans Pelicans, Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State Warriors</p><p>Ish Smith holds the record for the most teams played for by a single player in NBA history. In 14 years in the NBA, Smith has been a reliable backup guard for various teams, including contenders. In fact, he was part of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/denver-nuggets/nuggets-news-nikola-jokic-denver-wins-first-championship-game-5-demolition-heat">Denver Nuggets squad that captured the 2023 NBA championship</a>. After the 2023-24 season, Smith opted to retire and became a scout for the Washington Wizards.</p><h2><b>2 (tie). Garrett Temple (12)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Garrett-Temple-shoots-in-traffic.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Rassol-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Washington Wizards, Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Charlotte Bobcats, Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks</p><p>Among active NBA players, Garrett Temple holds the record for the most teams played for in the league with 12. Temple actually started his basketball career in the NBA D-League, now called as the NBA G-League, with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. After entering the league through the backdoor, he would become one of the most successful G-League call-up stories by carving out a lengthy NBA career that continues to this day with the Toronto Raptors.</p><h2><b>2 (tie). Joe Smith (12)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Joe-Smith-waits-to-check-in-the-game.jpg"><figcaption>Howard Smith-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, New Jersey Nets</p><p>Tied for second place is former NBA center Joe Smith. Smith actually kicked off his career with a bang. In his rookie season, he averaged 15.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game to finish third in the NBA Rookie of the Year race. The 6-foot-10 center was also a NBA All-Rookie First Team selection.</p><p>However, injuries and an ugly illegal contract situation with the Timberwolves derailed his career. He was also often traded. To make matters worse, Smith actually blew through his NBA earnings after his career. Fortunately, the 16-year NBA veteran was able to financially bounce back.</p><h2><b>2 (tie). Jim Jackson (12)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Jim-Jackson-shoots-a-free-throw.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee/Image of Sport-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat, Portland Trail Blazers, Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, New Jersey Nets, Los Angeles Lakers</p><p>Jim Jackson was legendary for Ohio State. However, he turned out to be a journeyman at the NBA level. It wasn’t exactly due to his talent. Instead, it was attitude problems. Jackson actually started his rookie season with a dramatic holdout <a href="https://www.basketballnetwork.net/old-school/when-jim-jackson-refused-to-sign-rookie-deal-with-dallas-mavericks" rel="noopener">due to a contract dispute</a>. Although the talent was there, teams soon found out that his ego was too much to handle.</p><h2><b>2 (tie). Tony Massenburg (12)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Tony-Massenburg-dunks-the-ball.jpg"><figcaption>Malcolm Emmons-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Memphis Grizzlies (Vancouver Grizzlies), San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, New Jersey Nets, Sacramento Kings, Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Houston Rockets, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Charlotte Hornets</p><p>When it comes to journeymen, Tony Massenburg earned quite a reputation. His best season came with the Vancouver Grizzlies, averaging a career-high 11.2 points per game. However, Massenburg actually enjoyed the privilege of doing something other NBA players couldn’t do, which was to end their careers with an NBA championship. The 6-foot-9 big man was part of the San Antonio Spurs team that won it all in 2005.</p><h2><b>2 (tie). Chucky Brown (12)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Chucky-Brown-tries-to-block-a-shot.jpg"><figcaption>MPS-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, Charlotte Hornets, Atlanta Hawks, New Jersey Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks</p><p>Another NBA player that collected various uniforms was Chucky Brown. In 13 years in the NBA, Brown actually managed to play for 12. His longest tenure was in Cleveland, having played for 155 games in his first stint before returning for a second go-round years later. In 1995, Brown could call himself champion after helping the Houston Rockets secure their second of back-to-back.</p><h2><b>7 (tie). Jeff Green (11)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Jeff-Green-shoots-a-jumper.jpg"><figcaption>Erik Williams-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Seattle Supersonics, Boston Celtics, Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards, Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets, Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Clippers</p><p>The second active player in this list is Jeff Green. Although Green has played for numerous franchises throughout his career, it’s hard to describe him as a journeyman. In fact, some would even qualify him as a starter-caliber talent, especially with 659 total games started under his belt. But more importantly, Green is a serviceable forward for playoff contenders. In fact, he helped the Nuggets secure the championship in 2023. Green continues to play for the Houston Rockets.</p><h2><b>7 (tie). D.J. Augustin (11)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/D.J.-Augustin-utilizes-a-screen.jpg"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Orlando Magic, Charlotte Bobcats, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, Detroit Pistons, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors</p><p>Another player tied with 11 teams is D.J. Augustin. He was teammates with Kevin Durant at the University of Texas. Despite standing at 5-foot-11, Augustine unexpectedly carved out a solid NBA career. He started his rookie season with a bang, averaging 11.8 points, which was enough to earn him a place on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. Undaunted by bigger players, Augustine could score and even hit clutch shots.</p><h2><b>7 (tie). Anthony Tolliver (11)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Anthony-Tolliver-attempts-to-block-a-shot.jpg"><figcaption>Michael McLoone-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Detroit Pistons, Minnesota Timberwolves, Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, Charlotte Bobcats, Atlanta Hawks, Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies, Philadelphia 76ers</p><p>Although Anthony Tolliver went undrafted in the 2007 NBA Draft, the NBA D-League standout carved out a lengthy career in the NBA. His calling card was easily his remarkable defense. Tolliver never backed down from the challenge of containing the best forwards in the game, including the likes of LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo. At one point, he was even one of the top players <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-nba-player-whos-so-good-at-taking-charges-we-created-a-stat-for-him/" rel="noopener">in drawing charges</a>.</p><h2><b>7 (tie). Mike James (11)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Mike-James-surveys-the-court.jpg"><figcaption>Lou Capozzola-USA TODAY NETWORK</figcaption></figure><p>Teams: Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, New Orleans Hornets, Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves, Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons</p><p>There’s no question that Mike James was a popular journeyman. Having played for 11 different teams, he was also lucky enough to win an NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons, the same team that pulled off the upset against a Shaquille O’Neal-led Los Angeles Lakers. In the 2005-06 season, James surprisingly turned some heads by averaging 20.3 points per game for the season. Certainly, his production was unexpected, but then again, he played for a lowly Raptors squad.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has been active in Detroit sports journalism since 2011 previously working with Bleacher Report, 1130 WDFN, and Detroit Sports Nation.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Detroit Pistons</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Detroit Pistons are optimistic after their activity at the NBA trade deadline. President of Basketball Operations Trajan Langdon spoke to the media about the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-dennis-schroder-lands-with-detroit-part-jimmy-butler-trade">acquisition of Dennis Schroder and Lindy Waters III</a> at the NBA trade deadline. The Pistons scooped up the two veteran guards as a part of the Jimmy Butler deal to the Golden State Warriors. Langdon was confident about the moves to bring in the backcourt guards they brought in for Detroit.</p><p>“We’re excited about the two additions to our team. We’re getting two guys, I think, who are high-character human beings that kind of have the same edge that we want here. They compete between the lines, they know how to play, and they’re good people,” Langdon stated. “I think Dennis has gone through a lot with movement. I had a couple of conversations with him yesterday. He’s excited to be here, and I think both will help us not only this year but maybe a chance going forward as well.”</p><p>The Pistons found themselves in a position where they needed to add another creator on offense after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-jaden-ivey-stretchered-off-court-after-scary-injury-vs-magic">losing shooting guard Jaden Ivey to a leg injury</a>. Opponents have focused more attention on blitzing All-Star guard Cade Cunningham to force turnovers or get the ball out of his hands. Langdon said he wanted to find that fix to help the team’s backcourt and he believes they found that in Schroder.</p><p>Schroder has been averaging 14.4 points and 5.5 assists in his 12th season in the NBA. The 6-foot-1 point guard is 31 years old with plenty of postseason experience to help the young Pistons in the middle of a playoff push. Schroder is joining this team with some familiarity with the team already with veteran guard Malik Beasley.</p><p>“To add Dennis Schroder is huge for our team. I’ve known him since I was in high school. I lived in Atlanta so when he was on the Hawks, he took me to his house. And we used to play on the Lakers together,” Beasley said to the media. “I’m excited, we’re going to turn it up to get to the playoffs. He’s a hard worker, grit and grind guy. He’s picking up 94-feet. It feels like a family member coming over here.”</p><p>Schroder’s play fits as an experienced veteran who can lead the bench unit as a reserve. His versatility on offense and defense can also mesh well when staggered with the starters. That influence can also carry over to the development of young players like Marcus Sasser, Ron Holland II, Ausar Thompson, and others.</p><p>Langdon said that Schroder still needed to pass his physical before being activated. He will not make his debut tonight for the Pistons against the Philadelphia 76ers.</p><h2>Keeping core in tact was priority for Trajan Langdon</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Pistons-All-Star-Cade-Cunningham.jpg"><figcaption>Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The NBA trade deadline can sometimes cause the separation of important pieces to improve the roster. Langdon saw the budding chemistry of the team and didn’t want to jeopardize that cohesiveness when making the necessary changes.</p><p>“We didn’t want to disturb our team. We didn’t want to disturb our style of play. The people and players that we brought in we wanted to fit that way we were playing seamlessly,” Langdon expressed. “Also, the locker room is important. Somebody in our front office said we’re probably a top-five locker room in terms of how these guys get along. It has played an important part to our success this season. We thought about a lot of those things in making these decisions.”</p><p>Langdon and the Pistons have maintained their position on not wanting to rush steps, even with the postseason in sight. He also stated how Ivey’s injury impacted some plans that were discussed. However, the winning success afterward helped maintain his confidence in keeping the young core together. There was even a <a href="https://x.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1887517233779200310" rel="noopener">report that the Los Angeles Lakers reached out</a> for the availability of center Jalen Duren. Detroit opted to turn down the discussion and keep their young big man with the Pistons.</p><p>The new front office for the Pistons seems to be working in sync with one another. Langdon even confirmed that he spoke with Cunningham <a href="https://x.com/HuntPatterson_/status/1887884046841098480" rel="noopener">about the direction of the franchise</a> during the deadline activity. Having trust and chemistry in place between the front office and franchise player shows the significant growth made by the Pistons organization.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His skill set as a pick-and-roll maestro allows him to seamlessly adapt to any offense. Whether that means coming off the bench in a relief role in the backcourt, or running the offense as a starter for seller teams looking to rebuild in February, Schroder is a coveted player.</p><p>That said, the Jazz may not be able to find another trade partner to jettison Schroder before the end of Thursday. He’s most suitable on a team headed for a deep playoff run, so he could be bought out if he’s waived by the Jazz. Sitting at 12-37, Utah has little need for a veteran with an abnormal contract. Such is the case with Tucker, and why they quickly moved him to Miami.</p><p>It’s likely that they could have teams lining up for a deal, but it’s not guaranteed that they will get anything done with time running out.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Dennis Schroder’s outlook takes wild turn after trade to Jazz

Everybody can decide where you’re going, even if you have a contract. Yeah, of course, we make a lot of money and we can feed our families, but at the end of the day if they say, ‘You’re not coming to work tomorrow, you’re going over there,’ they can decide that. They got to change that a little bit.”</p><h2><b>Dennis Schroder likens trade deadline to ‘modern slavery’ as Warriors explore moving him</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Dennis-Schroder-71-between-plays-against-the-Chicago-Bulls-.jpg"><figcaption>© Kelley L Cox-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Schroder, 31, has been the subject of trade discussions once again ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. On Tuesday’s airing of NBA Today, ESPN’s Marc J. Spears reported that Schroder is <a href="https://x.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1886881574924247549" rel="noopener">now available for trade</a>, with his $13 million expiring contract making him a potential asset for contending teams.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-nets-warriors-dennis-schroder-trade">Warriors acquired Schroder in December by sending De’Anthony Melton</a> and three second-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets. Before the trade, Schroder was having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 18.4 points, 6.6 assists, three rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 45.2% from the field and 38.7% from three in 23 games with Brooklyn. However, his production has declined since joining Golden State, where he is currently averaging 10.6 points, 4.4 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and a steal per game while shooting 37.5% from the field and 32.2% from three across 24 contests.</p><p>Despite his strong stance on the trade process, Schroder acknowledged the benefits of playing in the NBA.</p><p>“But still grateful that we’re here and that we can live this every single day,” Schroder said. “I think everybody who’s in here is blessed. But if you really think about it, it is kind of crazy that the organization can tell you, ‘We want you to be team-first, but you’re going over there.’ It’s a lot.”</p><h2><b>Schroder points to Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade as proof that no NBA star is untouchable</b></h2><p>Schroder also reacted to the stunning trade that sent <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-mavericks-luka-doncic-anthony-davis-trade">Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis</a>, a move that sent shockwaves through the league. Doncic, a five-time All-NBA First Team selection and former MVP finalist, had been the face of the Dallas Mavericks before the blockbuster deal.</p><p>“Luka Doncic just got traded and got five f*****g NBA First Teams,” Schroder said. “All-Stars, he brought money to them, NBA Finals last year and $117 million he can’t sign now because he got traded, and that’s no state income tax. From now on, I see it even more crazier than it was, because to trade somebody like that, nobody’s safe.”</p><p>Schroder further emphasized the unpredictable nature of the NBA trade market, suggesting that even the league’s biggest stars are not immune to sudden roster moves.</p><p>“Not even Steph Curry’s safe probably when I see that,” Schroder added. “It’s a f****d up business.”</p><p>With the trade deadline looming, Schroder’s future with the Warriors remains uncertain as teams weigh their options.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Unfortunately for them, that task got even tougher on Tuesday night.</p><p>During Golden State’s clash with the Utah Jazz, guard Dennis Schroder suffered a scary leg injury after landing awkwardly on a layup attempt. Schroder was <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1884458308888592686" rel="noopener">helped to the locker room</a> and was not putting any weight on his left leg, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.</p><p>Schroder has been crucial for the Warriors as another ball handler who can <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-why-stephen-curry-isnt-playing-vs-jazz">allow Stephen Curry to play away from the ball</a> and also run the offense when Curry is on the bench. The Warriors will now have to figure out another option as another point guard if Schroder is unable to return. As it stands, the Warriors lead the Jazz 80-70 late in the third quarter.</p><p>All concerns quickly subsided for Warriors fans shortly after the injury. Schroder went to the locker room before returning to the bench with ice on his lower leg. He quickly checked back into the game, so all appears to be well for the newly-acquired guard.</p><p>Schroder has struggled with his shot <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-warriors-serious-pursuit-dennis-schroder-trade-with-nets">since being traded to the Warriors from the Brooklyn Nets</a>, shooting just 30% from 3-point range and under 37% overall. However, his ability to create shots for himself off the dribble is a critical skill for this Warriors team that doesn’t have another natural shot creator outside of Curry. If Schroder can start to get going, he could be one of the most important players on this squad.</p><p>Warriors fans should have optimism that Schroder can get it going over the back half of the season. Prior to the trade, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-dennis-schroder-responds-question-adjusting-steph-ecosystem">Schroder was averaging more than 18 points per game</a> with the Nets and knocking down nearly 39% of his threes. He constantly buoyed Brooklyn on the offensive end of the floor and has the potential to do the same for the Warriors’ second unit if he can break out of this slump. Thankfully for him, it doesn’t look like that this injury will stop him from doing that.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-warriors-serious-pursuit-dennis-schroder-trade-with-nets">Warriors added Dennis Schroder in a trade with the Nets</a> to improve their roster, but that can’t be their final move.</p><p>The 36-year-old Curry is still playing at a superstar level. the Warriors must be active ahead of the deadline if they want to give him a shot at a fifth ring in the final years of his career.</p><p>Curry is averaging 22.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. The superstar guard is shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 42 percent from three. Curry is under contract with the Warriors for three more seasons, and the team needs to add another star to complement him.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-dennis-schroder-first-golden-state-bucket-has-fans-buzzing">The deal for Schroder improved Golden State’s roster</a> as they sent De’Anthony Melton, who’s out for the season, and three second-round picks for the 31-year-old guard. Schroder is alleviating some on-ball duties from Curry, but his numbers have dipped with the Warriors.</p><p>Schroder is averaging just 9.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 10 games with Golden State. He is shooting an inefficient 32.4 percent from the floor and 28.3 percent from deep.</p><p>While the addition of Schroder has been nice, Golden State needs to add more to their roster. With that said, here are the three top Warriors trade targets after their Dennis Schroder deal.</p><h2><b>Warriors land disgruntled Heat forward Jimmy Butler</b></h2><p>While the Warriors <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6036974/2025/01/04/warriors-jimmy-butler-nba-trade-deadline/">have gone back and forth</a> on whether a Jimmy Butler deal is worthwhile, he could be the star Golden State needs alongside Curry. Butler is serving a seven-game suspension from the Miami Heat as he publicly stated his unhappiness with the team. The Heat are now listening to offers for the disgruntled superstar.</p><p>Butler is in the last year of his deal, making $48.8 million this season with a $52.4 player option for next season. The 35-year-old is averaging 17.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. He is shooting an efficient 55.2 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from downtown.</p><p>A deal for Butler is more complicated for Golden State after acquiring Schroder. However, if the Warriors believe he is the star that fits well next to Curry, they must find a way to get it done.</p><h2><b>Warriors acquire Bulls center Nikola Vucevic</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Nikola-Vucevic.jpg"><figcaption>Reggie Hildred-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic is a player the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-warriors-eyeing-bulls-nikola-vucevic-trade-target">Warriors are reportedly interested in acquiring</a>. Although the 34-year-old isn’t necessarily a “star,” he would be an upgrade at center for Golden State.</p><p>Vucevic is having a great season, averaging 20.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. The veteran big man has been efficient, shooting 55.8 percent from the floor and 43.6 percent from distance.</p><p>Vucevic is in the second year of a three-year $60 million deal, making $20 million this season. With Vucevic’s scoring ability and three-point shooting as a big man, he could fit well in Golden State’s offense.</p><h2><b>Warriors add Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith</b></h2><p>Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith could be an under-the-radar target for the Warriors. The Pacers have expressed interest in Cam Johnson, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-pacers-reason-warriors-watching-cam-johnson-trade-talks">Nesmith has been mentioned as a player the Warriors may be interested in</a>.</p><p>If the Pacers and Nets make progress on a deal involving Johnson, Nesmith could be sent to the Warriors in a three-team deal. While Nesmith could fit as a 3-and-D player, he has only played in six games due to a left ankle sprain.</p><p>In those six games, Nesmith is averaging 9.2 points, four rebounds, and one assist per game. The 25-year-old is shooting 52.8 percent from the field and 54.5 percent from behind the arc.</p><p>Nesmith is in the first year of a three-year $33 million deal. Although he isn’t a star, he would add depth to the Warriors’ rotation as a shooter and defender.</p><p>The Warriors need to be buyers if they want to compete in the tight Western Conference. With an 18-17 record, they are the ninth seed in the West, which would make them a Play-In team.</p><p>The margin in the West is close as they are two games back of fifth and 1.5 games ahead of 11th. A trade could make a difference for the Warriors in giving Curry a chance at another ring.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, it’s been the opposite, thanks in part to Stephen Curry’s dominance. Following Thursday’s win against the Philadelphia 76ers, Schroder explained <a href="https://x.com/anthonyVslater/status/1875073611859652682" rel="noopener">adjusting to that particular style</a>.</p><p>“Hitting the post and then do split action, slipping out, and then the second guy come off screens,” Schroder said via Anthony Slater on X. “I want to shoot a lot of threes. This year I’ve been shooting a lot of threes, but in my career, I always tried to go to the basket. That’s probably the biggest adjustment. Playing fast, getting it out the break, or after a rebound, pushing it for (Jonathan) Kuminga or Steph and running without the ball or running with the ball. Those two things, I think are the biggest things.”</p><p>Since joining the Warriors, Schroder is only averaging 9.9 points per game. Although guys like Kuminga and Curry are the top scorers, he’s proven to be an effective scorer. After all, he averaged 18.4 points with the Brooklyn Nets before being traded. His scoring has diminished, mostly due to playing a new system.</p><h2><b>Will Dennis Schroder’s scoring struggles continue for the Warriors?</b></h2><p>While the statistics are down, there’s a clear reason. Schroder is only shooting 32.5% from the field and 26.3% from three. Plus, adjusting from being the No. 1 scorer to a tertiary scorer is an adjustment for any player. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-dennis-schroder-reveals-shocked-reaction-nets-trade">Schroder was shocked that the Warriors traded for him</a>. Despite that, they are <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/GSW/2025_games.html" rel="noopener">3-5 since the trade</a> but have shown potential. They’re still a top defensive team, and still have Curry running the show.</p><p>Once he knows his role within the offense, Schroder’s productivity will sky rocket. Again, he’s a pro and knows how to play a winning role. However, the Golden State offense incorporates so much off-ball movement and three-point shooting. For someone who has the ball in his hands the majority of the time, that’s an adjustment.</p><p>Despite the rough eight games, there’s plenty of the season left. It’s clear that Schroder has bought into the Warriors culture. Now, it’s about finding his niche within the team. He can be a good shooter off the ball. He can also run the floor when Curry is taking a breather.</p><p>No matter what, Golden State has themselves an X-factor with Schroder in The Bay. Now, it’s a matter of incorporating him into the offense more effectively. The Warriors take on a short-handed Memphis Grizzlies team on Saturday. Then, Schroder might get out of his recent scoring slump.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Four games removed from the deal, things are right on schedule.</p><p>The Nets fell 110-95 to the Miami Heat on Monday, their third loss in their last four games.

Since rejoining the starting lineup, he’s made a noticeable effort to ramp up his aggressiveness, averaging 10.3 points, 8.5 assists, and 4.5 turnovers per game. However, his fit alongside Nic Claxton as a non-shooter has well-documented issues.</p><p>Simmons had an encouraging first half against Miami, posting four points and eight assists on 1-of-2 shooting. His performance alongside Johnson and Noah Clowney kept Brooklyn within one point at the break.</p><p>However, as has been the case throughout his Nets tenure, the three-time All-Star disappeared as the game progressed. He posted one assist while failing to attempt a shot in the second half as the Heat outscored the Nets 52-38.</p><p>Simmons’ lack of scoring as Brooklyn’s lead guard has some Nets counting the days until Cam Thomas returns to the lineup. The team’s leading scorer has been sidelined for a month with a hamstring injury.</p><p>“It’ll be nice when we get Cam Thomas back just to have a real halfcourt bucket-getter, halfcourt scorer. That’ll be good. We’re missing him right now a lot,” Nic Claxton said. “It’s different for everybody [without Dennis]. You got a lot of people in different spots, so our offense is different now, and we all just have to adjust. It’s part of the game. We’re all professionals. It’s not easy. It’s definitely a challenge, but we’ll get there, and then, like I said, when we get 2-4 [Thomas] back, that’ll help.”</p><p>With Simmons replacing Schroder, Claxton’s struggling offensive numbers have taken a hit. The sixth-year center, who signed a four-year, $97 million contract this offseason, has averaged 7.8 points on 44.8 percent shooting over the last four games.</p><p>Luckily, he won’t have to wait long before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-cam-thomas-receives-encouraging-injury-update-amid-absence">Thomas returns to the lineup</a>. The 23-year-old participated in five-on-five scrimmages on Monday and “is getting close,” according to head coach Jordi Fernandez.</p><p>Thomas was having the best season of his career before injuring his hamstring. He averaged 24.7 points and 3.4 assists per game on 46/39/87 shooting splits, all career-highs. The Nets ranked eighth offensively over their first 18 games before he went down. They rank 26th over 11 games since.</p><p>The Nets will have two days off before Thomas’ next chance to return to the lineup.

However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-nets-warriors-dennis-schroder-trade">Nets’ decision to trade Dennis Schroder</a> has thrust him back into the starting lineup.</p><p>The benching may have been the motivation Simmons needed to regain the offensive assertiveness of his Philadelphia 76ers days.</p><p>Since rejoining the starting unit, the three-time All-Star has turned in his most aggressive stretch as a Net. Over Brooklyn’s last three games, he’s averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.3 assists while attempting 9.0 field goals and 3.7 free throws per game.</p><p>“I think it’s that [the role change] and just time in the gym,” Simmons said of his sudden shift in mentality. “Just staying on it. And then focusing every day. I come in and try to get better every day, and it’s gonna show… It’s been an adjustment [without Dennis], but obviously, practice sessions help a lot. And then watching film helps a bunch. So the more we play together and the more we get some rhythm, the easier it will be.”</p><p>Head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-ben-simmons-receives-jordi-fernandez-challenge-first-games">Jordi Fernandez has pleaded with Simmons to attack the basket</a> throughout the season. The message appeared to finally get through during Saturday’s 105-94 loss to the Utah Jazz.</p><h2>Ben Simmons attempting to regain aggressiveness as Nets’ lead point guard</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Ben-Simmons.jpg"><figcaption>Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Simmons looked like a different player from the opening tip, frequently penetrating the teeth of Utah’s defense. He finished with 15 points and 10 assists on 5-of-11 shooting from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. It marked his first time attempting double-digit field goals in a game since Jan. 17, 2023, and his first time making five free throws since June 2, 2021.</p><p>While Simmons finally attempting to do the things that made him great during his 76ers days was a breath of fresh air, his performance was far from stellar. He turned the ball over six times as the Nets’ offense remained stuck in the mud without Schroder.</p><p>“[Too man] turnovers. We need him to be better,” said head coach Jordi Fernandez. “I like his aggressiveness. I like how he pushed the ball… I also wanted him to rebound better. But I liked his performance. I like how fast he made us play. He’s taking positive steps. Right now, it’s back-to-back games where he’s playing higher minutes. He’s been aggressive; he’s been trying to organize his teammates use his voice. I’m happy to see that.”</p><p>Simmons has averaged 5.7 turnovers during the three-game stretch. He said he should improve in that area with more reps as Brooklyn’s lead guard.</p><p>“Just putting yourself in different situations. Over time, you’re gonna learn from your mistakes,” Simmons said of how he’ll fix his turnovers. “And then watching the film. I think that’s the biggest thing for me. Watching film helps me a lot.”</p><p>While Simmons’ numbers have improved since replacing Schroder, the Nets’ offense has fallen off a cliff. Over the last three games, they rank 29th, averaging 98.7 points and 19.3 turnovers on a league-worst 40.9 percent shooting from the field and 26.5 percent from three.</p><p>Despite this, the Aussie should have plenty of leeway to regain his offensive footing during the second half of the season. Brooklyn’s decision to trade Schroder <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-sean-marks-reveals-motivation-dennis-schroder-trade-tank-speculation-grows">was a glaring admission of their tanking direction</a>. With the veteran floor general out the door, Simmons is the team’s only point guard option.</p><p>Simmons is in the final year of a five-year, $177 million contract. His close to the season as the rebuilding Nets’ lead ball-handler could determine whether he’ll see a feature role in the NBA moving forward, whether with Brooklyn or any other team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As they say, though, it matters how you finish.</p><p>Schroder could not find a groove in his Golden State debut, scoring just five points on 2-of-12 shooting and committing four turnovers in the FedExForum. The Warriors collectively posted a frightful effort versus the Grizzlies, losing 144-93. Shockingly, Curry did not make a basket. Andrew Wiggins was the only starter to successfully convert more than two of his shot attempts. YIKES.</p><p>It is far too early to properly evaluate <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-dennis-schroder-reveals-shocked-reaction-nets-trade">the Dennis Schroder trade</a>, which only cost the Dubs an injured De’Anthony Melton and two second-round draft picks, but he is not having the immediate impact fans probably anticipated. And unfortunately for the German point guard, the ream requires swift reinforcements.</p><h2><b>Warriors must wake up in a hurry</b></h2><p>Golden State does not want to be fighting for a playoff spot for the second year in a row. Expending substantial energy, both physical and mental, just to reach the postseason is not a practical pathway to success for veterans Curry and Draymond Green. The Warriors have lost nine of their last 11 games, surrendering 287 points combined across the last two matchups. Things must come easier for them during the regular season.</p><p>Schroder is supposed to help on that front. He noticeably elevated his offensive game with the Brooklyn Nets in the first quarter of the 2024-25 campaign, recording 18.4 points on 45.2 percent shooting while dishing out 6.6 assists per game. It might take him a bit to become acclimated to his new environment and teammates, but Schroder is being asked to raise the Warriors’ ceiling.</p><p>The fact he is being assigned such a responsibility is a testament to his play, Thursday night’s performance notwithstanding. Schroder and Golden State will try to put the Memphis massacre behind them when they battle the Minnesota Timberwolves (14-11) on Saturday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This weekend’s trade marks his eighth time changing teams in the last eight seasons.</p><p>While he said numerous times that he wanted to remain in Brooklyn long-term, trading him will allow the Nets to lean into a tank in year one of a rebuild.</p><h2>Dennis Schroder stepping into new role with Warriors</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Dennis-Schroder_4f4d05.jpg"><figcaption>Petre Thomas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-dennis-schroder-leading-brooklyn-trade-buzz-grows-career-best-start">Schroder was off to a career-best start</a> with the Nets, averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game on 45/39/89 shooting splits. He should fill an immediate need for the Warriors, who have been searching for offense outside of Steph Curry. Golden State has posted a 122.2 offensive rating with Curry on the floor compared to 104.8 when he’s on the bench, which would be the NBA’s second-worst mark overall.</p><p>Schroder’s shot creation and facilitation will provide a boost for the Warriors’ 14th-ranked offense. The veteran floor general is one of five NBA players averaging 18-plus points and six-plus assists on over 45 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent from three, alongside Curry, Nikola Jokic, Cade Cunningham and Domantas Sabonis.</p><p>While <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpW7spC7Vb8&amp;pp=ygUKc3RldmUga2Vycg%3D%3D">Warriors head coach Steve Kerr did not commit to Schroder</a> as a starter, he hinted the point guard would join the unit.</p><p>“He would seem to be a perfect fit to start next to Steph [Curry],” Kerr said.</p><p>Kerr alluded to Schroder’s pick-and-roll prowess as an essential addition alongside Curry.</p><p>“We actually need a pick-and-roll player right now,” he said. “The last 10 games, our pick-and-roll efficiency is dead last in the league. Teams are loading up on Steph. You can’t ask him to run every pick-and-roll. Dennis is a pick-and-roll player. I think if you look at the league, the way it has evolved the last few years, the best offenses all have two point guards, whether it’s Dallas or Cleveland or Indiana. I think Boston has three or four guys who can run pick-and-roll. I just feel like in the modern NBA, you need multiple pick-and-roll players.”</p><p>Schroder will make his Warriors debut on Thursday when Golden State travels to face the Memphis Grizzlies.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Golden State Warriors have already kicked off trade season by swinging a deal for Dennis Schroder, giving them some much-needed additional playmaking, scoring, and point-of-attack defense, helping compensate for the season-ending injury of De’Anthony Melton. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-currys-optimistic-dennis-schroder-take-will-hype-up-fans-after-trade">Schroder is already drawing rave reviews</a> from Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr, and he is expected to immediately step into the starting lineup following his arrival from the Brooklyn Nets.</p><p>But amid the Warriors’ fall down the NBA standings, there could still be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jimmy-butler-warriors-rumors-latest-trade-block-intel-siegels-scoop">a trade or two for Golden State to pull off</a>. They have been struggling to achieve a sense of two-way balance as of late, and at this point, it’s not looking like they have enough to challenge the inner circle of contending teams for the right to be called the champion of the association.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-trade-candidates-entering-2024-25-season">Warriors definitely have a few avenues left</a> to improve the roster further, although as is the case with any blockbuster trade, they will have to part ways with a valued member of the team. The likes of Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and Brandin Podziemski could be on the move, although the Dubs have shown in recent years that they aren’t exactly in the market for league-altering trades, but rather, deals on the margins that don’t require them to mortgage their future.</p><p>It will all depend on the trade market whether or not the Warriors could snag another upgrade for cheap, similar to what they did in their trade for Schroder. But they should at least try to acquire this player to give Curry the best chance at one last championship hurrah.</p><h2><b>Warriors go all in on Jimmy Butler trade</b></h2><p><b>Warriors trade: Andrew Wiggins, Brandin Podziemski, Kyle Anderson, Gary Payton II, 2028 GSW first-round pick</b></p><p><b>Heat trade: Jimmy Butler</b></p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Jimmy-Butler_e41076.jpg"><figcaption>im Rassol-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Jimmy Butler stands out as the best player available on the trade market, and the Miami Heat have already reportedly made him available in a potential deal — with Butler and his camp reportedly welcoming a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-jimmy-butler-warriors-trade-dealt-reality-check-by-nba-insider">potential trade to the Warriors</a>. This could mean that acquiring Butler won’t just be a one-year rental, as it is likely that the veteran forward re-signs with one of his preferred destinations (he has a player option for the 2025-26 season that he’s likely to decline).</p><p>Butler, however, is <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/player/_/id/8081/jimmy-butler" rel="noopener">making $48.8 million this season</a>, complicating any negotiations between the Warriors and the Heat. Golden State will have to let go of its precious depth to bring the veteran star in, which will be hard for Steve Kerr to do amid his preference to play a 12-man rotation.</p><p>Any Butler trade will have to start with Andrew Wiggins, no ifs or buts. Draymond Green could be the main salary-matching piece, but the Warriors will not want to lose Green, considering he’s the team’s defensive anchor and heart and soul. Wiggins is a valuable 3-and-D player who has bounced back from a terrible past two seasons, but acquiring talent requires giving up talent in return.</p><p>Butler is not the floor-spacer Wiggins is, but he’s just about better than him at every other facet of the game. The Heat star can play bully ball on the interior, handle the rock and create for both himself and others, while he could also assume a huge defensive role especially when he’s no longer the focal point of his team’s offense.</p><p>In Butler’s most recent game, he also showed that he can still rack up stats with the best of them; he put up his best game of the season yet, tallying 35 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists despite the loss. His grit and ability to just get things done — whatever the team needs out of him, he can fill — will up the Warriors’ championship equity considerably, as they won’t need to rely too much on hitting their jumpshots to win ballgames.</p><p>Giving up Brandin Podziemski will be another sore spot for the Warriors; Dennis Schroder’s arrival, however, should push Podziemski down the pecking order for the team anyway. Podziemski is in the middle of a brutal sophomore slump, and the Warriors may be selling low on him by including him in this trade, but Butler is a proven playoff riser who will give the Warriors a much-needed star on the wing.</p><p>Losing Gary Payton II will sting, as he is a winning player. The same goes for Kyle Anderson. But the Warriors will have no other recourse but to add them in a potential Butler trade due to their salaries. But at the very least, this potential trade will have the unintended consequence of trimming down the Warriors’ roster fat, which will then prevent Kerr from running a larger rotation than necessary.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
