Dennis Schroder Traded to Cleveland Cavaliers in Multi-Player Deal

German basketball star Dennis Schroder is on the move to the Cleveland Cavaliers, having been traded from the Sacramento Kings. Joining him in the trade is Keyon Ellis, while small forward DeAndre Hunter moves to the Kings in exchange. Hunter, known for his shooting prowess, has been a solid contributor for the Cavs this season, averaging 14 points per game and maintaining a 37% success rate from beyond the arc.

Schroder, a 32-year-old point guard, joined the Kings as a free agent in July and has been averaging 13 points and 5 assists this season. Over his career, Schroder has played with multiple NBA teams, the most notable stretch being with the Atlanta Hawks from 2013 to 2018. He has also become a standout player for Germany's national team, leading them to their first Fiba World Cup title in 2023 and earning the MVP award in the process, along with a Eurobasket title.

Other notable trades before the deadline include Czech national team guard Viet Krejci moving from the Atlanta Hawks to the Portland Trail Blazers, with Australian center Dwp Reath going the opposite direction.
