After their loss to Dallas, Steph Curry shared his thoughts on the trade when he met with the media.
Curry on Schroder: "Excited about the opportunity to play with a guy that you played against for a long time and he's a true competitor. Can create, score, run an offense... A guy I could probably play with in the backcourt... Gives us another guy that can attack a defense, and on the other side, he loves to compete. He digs in the defensive end, too."
