As a purely academic exercise, what is Draymond Green’s trade value today?
It’s a little weird, because I’d rather have him than Rudy Gobert… yet I’m pretty confident he’d net less in a trade than Dejounte Murray did. – 5:18 PM

Trae Young in 1st half today vs Bucks:
31 points
6 assists
7-for-9 on 3-pt FG
It is preseason, but…
That is the most points in any half of a preseason game since at least 2005 (as far back as preseason box scores go on NBA.com). – 1:55 PM
