NBA Trade Verdict

Pacers Win

Indiana reacquired Steve Chubin from the New York Nets for cash on November 11, 1969. Chubin gave the Pacers 32 regular-season games, averaging 4.2 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 11.9 minutes before Kentucky claimed him on waivers in March. New York received an undisclosed cash payment after Chubin had played 39 games for the Nets earlier in 1969-70. Indiana received the only measurable post-trade basketball production, but the short tenure and unknown cash amount keep the hindsight advantage modest rather than decisive.
