San Francisco (dpa) – Basketball world champion Dennis Schröder moved from the Brooklyn Nets to the Golden State Warriors with good feelings. «I'm looking forward to the situation there. “I’m ready to play with people like that, Hall of Famers,” Schröder said German press agency. In San Francisco, Schröder will be in a team with superstar Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The next transfer was announced on Saturday, and the unusually early change has been official since Sunday.
Family father Schröder will fly from the east to the west coast of the USA on Monday and expects to make his debut for the Warriors on December 19th in the away game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has already said goodbye to his teammates at the Nets. “The reactions to it were initially very shocking. “To be traded so early, after 25, 26 games, is tough,” said Schröder. “But of course it says how much they want you. In the end, it’s very, very cool.”
For Schröder, the Warriors are the eighth team in his twelfth NBA season. Before the Nets, the captain of the German national basketball team was active for the Toronto Raptors, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics, the Houston Rockets, the Oklahoma City Thunder and, at the beginning of his NBA career, for the Atlanta Hawks.
