NBA Trade Verdict

Nets Win

New Jersey acquired Maurice McHartley from the Dallas Chaparrals on July 9, 1968 for a 1969 draft choice. McHartley played 24 games for the Americans/Nets at 12.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists before New York traded him to Miami for Ron Perry. Perry then gave the Nets 23 games at 19.3 points before being moved for Steve Chubin, who added 28 Nets games that season and 11 more in 1969-70. Dallas received a 1969 draft asset described by secondary transaction research as a "high" pick, but its exact exercised selection remains unresolved. New Jersey therefore produced the clearer traceable player value.

Trade Analysis

New Jersey Bought Maurice McHartley for a 1969 Draft Choice

The Americans acquired Maurice McHartley from Dallas on July 9, 1968 for a 1969 draft asset. The exact exercised Chaparrals selection remains unresolved, so the comparison must center on the player value New Jersey could trace.

McHartley Started a Productive Player Chain

McHartley played 24 games for the Americans/Nets at 12.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists before New York moved him to Miami for Ron Perry. Perry then supplied 23 games at 19.3 points.

Perry Became Steve Chubin

New York later traded Perry for Steve Chubin, who added 28 Nets games that season and 11 more in 1969-70. That gives the original McHartley acquisition a traceable chain beyond his own short stint.

The Nets Have the Clearer Realized Value

Dallas received a draft asset described in secondary research as a high pick, but its final identity is unresolved. New Jersey’s B+ versus Dallas’ C reflects the documented player chain rather than assuming the unknown pick had no value.

Final Verdict

Nets Win — New Jersey B+, Dallas C. New Jersey acquired Maurice McHartley from the Dallas Chaparrals on July 9, 1968 for a 1969 draft choice. McHartley played 24 games for the Americans/Nets at 12.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists before New York traded him to Miami for Ron Perry.
