Win. Atlanta turned Doc Rivers into Stacey Augmon and two additional second-round picks, gaining several years of useful, cost-controlled production. Rivers helped the Clippers and retained trade value, but his stay was brief and the total return did not match Atlanta's duration. The gap is meaningful without being overwhelming: ATL A, LAC B.
