New York acquired Dewitt Menyard from the Houston Mavericks for a draft choice in September 1968. The verdict reflects only verified transaction terms and realized team value. Menyard never appeared in another professional game after his 1967-68 Houston season, meaning the Nets received no realized on-court production. Houston's incoming draft choice is verified but its round and player outcome remain unresolved. With one side producing no games and the other retaining a legitimate future asset, Houston holds a modest retrospective edge.
The New York Americans acquired Dewitt Menyard from the Houston Mavericks in September 1968 for a draft choice. The player movement is established, while the exact round and later identity of Houston’s selection remain unresolved.
Menyard never appeared in another professional game after his 1967-68 Houston season. New York therefore received no realized on-court production from the player it acquired.
The Mavericks received a verified draft choice. Even without a resolved pick identity, that future asset has more documented value than a player return that produced zero games.
The C versus D split gives Houston credit for retaining a legitimate future asset without pretending the unresolved selection became a star. New York’s side is graded lower because Menyard produced no measurable return.
Mavericks Edge — New York D, Houston C. New York acquired Dewitt Menyard from the Houston Mavericks for a draft choice in September 1968. The verdict reflects only verified transaction terms and realized team value.
