1995 NBA Trades

The Nets acquired Shawn Bradley; Greg Graham; Tim Perry from 76ers in exchange for Derrick Coleman; Rex Walters; Sean Higgins.

Memphis came out ahead in the 1995-11-27 trade with Milwaukee Bucks, receiving Eric Murdock; Eric Mobley for Benoit Benjamin.

Boston acquired Todd Day; Alton Lister from Bucks in exchange for Sherman Douglas.

Miami acquired Alonzo Mourning, Pete Myers and LeRon Ellis for Glen Rice, Matt Geiger, Khalid Reeves and a 1996 first-round pick, producing major value for both franchises and a narrow long-term advantage for the Heat.

Orlando traded Anthony Avent to Vancouver for Kevin Pritchard and Larry Stewart.

Denver received Don MacLean and Doug Overton from Washington for Robert Pack, with a disputed future-considerations reference that does not appear in the Nuggets media guide.

Milwaukee acquired Kevin Duckworth while sending out Bob McCann in the 1995-10-18 transaction with Bullets.

Cavaliers Win: The trade became one of the clearest examples of the danger in attaching a first-round pick to a veteran-for-veteran swap. Williams was a good professional and contributed in Phoenix, but Cleveland harvested both Majerle's one-year production and Knight's longer tenure. The Cavaliers did not need either piece to become a superstar for the arithmetic to favor them.

On October 2, 1995, San Antonio Spurs acquired Will Perdue; other considerations (details unresolved) from Chicago Bulls in exchange for Dennis Rodman.

Cleveland exchanged Mark Price for 1996 first round pick (#11-Vitaly Potapenko), with the two sides generating broadly comparable realized value.

Detroit came out slightly ahead, acquiring Otis Thorpe for Bill Curley, rights to Randolph Childress.

Denver acquired Elmore Spencer from Los Angeles Clippers for Bison Dele.

Golden State surrendered the more valuable outcome. The Warriors acquired B.J. Armstrong from Toronto Raptors for Carlos Rogers; Victor Alexander; rights to Martin Lewis; rights to Michael McDonald; rights to Dwayne Whitfield.

Seattle received Frank Brickowski and sent Byron Houston; Sarunas Marciulionis. The long-term value clearly favored Kings.

Chicago received $100K, future cash considerations for Corie Blount, but the partner generated modestly stronger realized value.

Atlanta acquired Anthony Webb from Kings in exchange for Tyrone Corbin.

Denver received Randy Woods; rights to Antonio McDyess from Los Angeles Clippers, sending Rodney Rogers; rights to Brent Barry in return.

Miami held the better side in the 1995-06-28 transaction with Washington Bullets, receiving Rex Chapman; rights to Terrence Rencher for rights to Jeff Webster; rights to Ed Stokes.

Milwaukee Bucks received rights to Aurelijius Zukauskas; 1996 second round pick (second most favorable of Sonics picks) (#53-Jeff Nordgaard). Oklahoma City Thunder received rights to Eric Snow.

Milwaukee acquired rights to Shawn Respert while sending out rights to Gary Trent; 1997 conditional first round pick (#20-Paul Grant) in the 1995-06-28 transaction with Blazers.

Charlotte acquired Kendall Gill from Seattle SuperSonics for Hersey Hawkins; David Wingate.

Detroit won the deal, acquiring 1995 first round pick (#18 – Theo Ratliff), 1995 first round pick (#19 – Randolph Childress), 1995 second round pick (#58-Don Reid) for 1995 first round pick (#8 – Shawn Respert).

Orlando paid a 1996 second to Vancouver to have the Grizzlies select Rodney Dent in the 1995 expansion draft.

Cleveland acquired Harold Miner and 1995 second round pick (#39-Donny Marshall) for 1995 second round pick (#46-George Banks) and future considerations (details unresolved); the completed outcomes give the Cavaliers a modest realized-value edge.

Dallas received Scott Brooks from Houston Rockets and sent Morlon Wiley; 1995 second-round pick (#41-Erik Meek) in return.

Minnesota earned the slight edge in the one-for-one Tom Gugliotta–Donyell Marshall swap. Gugliotta reached an All-Star peak next to Kevin Garnett and helped the Timberwolves reach the playoffs, while Marshall gave Golden State several productive seasons and substantial two-way frontcourt value.

Houston traded Otis Thorpe, Marcelo Nicola's draft rights and a first-round pick for Clyde Drexler and Tracy Murray, then won the 1995 championship with Drexler as the second star beside Hakeem Olajuwon.

Boston acquired Jay Humphries; 1995 second-round pick (#33 Junior Burrough) from Jazz in exchange for Theodore Edwards.
