Bucks Win. Dellavedova gave Milwaukee immediate NBA rotation value at guard and remained useful long enough to justify the mechanism of the sign-and-trade. Cleveland's incoming draft rights never produced comparable NBA value. Cleveland's context was constrained because Dellavedova had agreed to a new contract with Milwaukee. The Cavaliers were not choosing between equal offers; the sign-and-trade allowed them to recover a small asset rather than lose the player for nothing.

Memphis Grizzlies won the 2016-02-18 trade in hindsight: Los Angeles Clippers' return of Jeff Green did not match the realized value of Lance Stephenson; first-round pick (at least 2 years after Clippers convey first-round pick to Raptors from earlier trade) (protected top 14 in 2019-20, else 2022 second-round pick) (2019 #20-Matisse Thybulle).
