Warriors don't plan to engage in trade conversation for Draymond Green
It sparked rumors: Would the Warriors trade Green? (The Warriors have not engaged in any trade talks centered on Green, and don’t plan to as of now, sources said.) It reignited old debates: Was Green ever really a star in his own right, or was he the beneficiary of playing alongside the two greatest shooters ever — two all-time greats whose penchant for expert off-ball movement enabled Green to thrive as point-forward?

Draymond Green says he loves Paolo Banchero’s demeanor, his love of the game, his confidence, and the way he plays. Green says the feeling in the building this time around is different, he believes Banchero has sparked a new energy for the Magic. #dubnation #magictogether – 10:32 PM

Jalen Suggs was 5/22 from 3 this season before burying two massive ones down the stretch that has the Warriors wobbling here in Orlando. Down four, 31 seconds left, Draymond fouled out, on verge of an 0-4 start to road trip. – 9:35 PM

Six-point Magic possession. And-1 putback layup and a James Wiseman foul. He fires ball at the stanchion in frustration and gets technical. Wagner hits free throw, Harris misses and-1 FT, Okeke leaps over Draymond for another O rebound, kick out for a banked in Hampton 3. – 8:59 PM

Absolute magic from Draymond. Never seen a player fake a dribble hand-off like this.
As @Kelenna Azubuike says on broadcast, not possible without Steph’s threat putting fear in Banchero. Given how overly demonstrative Draymond was calling for ball, think he planned it all the way. pic.twitter.com/fssnkYCssr – 8:41 PM

If this is really a “Last Dance” season for the 3-5 Warriors (and that’s not a sure thing by any stretch), I’m going to spend a lot of it thinking about Draymond Green:

Kylen Mills: “I don’t think motivation is the problem at all…. You think Steph Curry is struggling with motivation? I don’t think so.” -Draymond Green emphatically says no when asked if motivation is an issue that’s been a factor in the Warriors 4 straight losses. #DubNation -via Twitter @KylenMills / November 4, 2022
Green pointed to the poise and leadership Banchero displayed that stood out to him the most. He saw a player that could help change the culture in Orlando and lead the organization back to the playoffs after several down seasons. He once again saw that from Banchero on Thursday. He is a good player. (I) 100% agree with him being the No. 1 pick. A Seattle kid, those guys breathe basketball. Paolo is a special guy. He hit some tough shots tonight but that is why he was the No. 1 pick. He is going to make some tough ones and you have to live with those. I really love his demeanor. That team hasn’t won many games but they are competing. If you’re watching these games, they’re not getting blown out anymore. They’re right there and learning how to win. If I’m being honest, his demeanor and who he is has a lot to do with that. -via The Rookie Wire / November 4, 2022
