New York and Indiana Swapped Ron Perry and Steve Chubin

The Nets acquired Steve Chubin from the Pacers in exchange for Ron Perry on January 31, 1969. The canonical record treats the transaction as a direct player-for-player ABA exchange.

New York Took the Chubin Side of the Short-Term Swap

Chubin arrived after producing for Indiana earlier in the season. New York received the player as its full return, with no additional pick or cash asset recorded in the canonical exchange.

Indiana Received Perry as the Counterpart
