On Sunday, the Golden State Warriors officially announced that they had made a trade with the Brooklyn Nets to acquire point guard Dennis Schroder.

Steph Curry is clearly a big fan of the trade, as he made a post to his Instagram story right after the news was announced.

Schroder will likely give Curry a chance to play more off the ball.
ESPN's Shams Charania reported that the Warriors expect the two guards to share the floor togehter.
Via Charania: "The Warriors envision starting lineups with Dennis Schroder and Stephen Curry in the backcourt, with Schroder able to alleviate ball-handling responsibilities at point guard. Golden State made him a priority to complete this deal."
The Warriors will play the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday evening at home.
Schroder will not be available for the game, which means that Thursday evening against the Memphis Grizzlies will likely be his debut for Golden State.
Via Mark Followill: "The Warriors announced their acquisition of Dennis Schroder from the Brooklyn Nets this AM. He's not going to be available for their game vs the Mavs tonight (730p CST, KFAA/MavsTV). Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins are questionable for GS. Marshall, Kleber and Hardy out for Mavs."
