Schröder shares son’s hilarious reaction to Warriors trade originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Dennis Schröder’s son is a big fan of Steph Curry.
The Warriors’ newest member explained his son Dennis Jr.’s reaction. out when he heard he had been traded to Golden State.
“He said, ‘Oh, we’re lucky, at least now it’s a good team,'” Schröder said at his introductory press conference on Tuesday. “That was the first thing, and I was laughing and I was in a bad mood. He is of course a Steph Curry fan…
“He watches every game, all he does is play basketball and he will be happy to see him. Even yesterday, when I walked in, he said, “Was Steph Curry there?” I thought, ‘You’re not going to ask me how I’m doing?’ ”
The well-traveled NBA veteran comes to a Warriors team in desperate need of stability and a second scoring option behind Curry. The 31-year-old averaged 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game this season with the Brooklyn Nets.
Finding consistent scoring opportunities behind Curry will be the biggest challenge for Steve Kerr and the rest of the Warriors. Golden State started the 2024-25 NBA season red hot, but has since cooled off, winning just four of their last thirteen games before falling to 14-11 and eighth in the Western Conference.
It’s unrealistic to expect Curry to be out of this world every night, so the addition of Schröder will give the team a strong two-way player who can shoot under pressure.
Kerr expects the veteran to play the majority of the non-Curry minutes, but did not rule out the possibility of them playing together in the backcourt.
Naturally, the combination of the two on the field will be a big hit for Dennis Jr. fans. and Golden State.
