Golden State Warriors Receive: C Jusuf Nurkic, G/F Nassir Little, 2025 First-Round Pick (POR)
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F/C Draymond Green

If this is the end of Green’s time in Golden State, we should take a moment to look back at what he’s meant to this organization.
The Warriors selected Green in the second round of the NBA Draft. In all likelihood, they assumed they were getting a scrappy role player who’d have a chance to crack their rotation. In the end, they got a lot more than that.
