NBA Trade Verdict
Even Trade
New York acquired Dennis Grey from the Los Angeles Stars for cash on September 19, 1969. Grey had averaged 9.1 points and 5.5 rebounds in 58 games for Los Angeles as a rookie, but his Nets stint was brief: four games, 74 minutes, 18 points and 25 rebounds in 1969-70. Los Angeles received an undisclosed cash payment. Because Grey's New York contribution was so limited and the cash amount is unknown, the realized value on both sides was modest and does not support a clear hindsight winner.

Trade Analysis
Grey’s Nets Stint Was Extremely Brief
He appeared in only four games for New York, totaling 74 minutes, 18 points and 25 rebounds. The Nets therefore received only a small amount of realized basketball value from the purchase.
Los Angeles Received Undisclosed Cash
The Stars’ financial return is not identified in the available transaction record. Without the amount, it cannot be compared precisely against four games of Grey production.
The Evidence Does Not Support a Clear Winner
Both sides received something, but neither return can be shown to be meaningfully stronger. Equal C grades and an Even Trade verdict fit a transaction with limited measurable value on both sides.
Final Verdict
Even Trade — New York Nets C, Los Angeles Stars C. New York acquired Dennis Grey from the Los Angeles Stars for cash on September 19, 1969. Grey had averaged 9.1 points and 5.5 rebounds in 58 games for Los Angeles as a rookie, but his Nets stint was brief: four games, 74 minutes, 18 points and 25 rebounds in 1969-70.
