Trade Chain Explorer v1
Trace what a player, pick, or package became — and see where the model actually put a price.
Explorer v1 traces known asset links from the current trade database. Some long multi-hop chains are navigated step-by-step rather than auto-assembled.
Chain view ≠ score view. This traces what assets became over time. The model grades individual trades. A node is marked Scored here only when that trade has a real price — otherwise it's shown for ancestry.

Boston / Nets 2013 — the chain that became Tatum & Brown
One 2013 trade of aging stars turned into a decade of Celtics lottery picks.
How the chain reads: The trade-date read grades what Boston gave up against what they got back in 2013. The Tatum and Brown payoff came later, through the picks that changed hands — it is tracked separately, not folded into the 2013 read.
