Trade Analysis

Atlanta Hawks Perspective

The swap sent Dike Eddelman out and brought Don Otten to Atlanta. The Hawks gained a small advantage in realized value while the other side still received a defensible return.

Detroit Pistons Perspective

Atlanta held a modest realized-value advantage. Eddleman gave Detroit some legitimate multi-sport and NBA value, but Otten supplied the stronger basketball return for the Hawks. The B- versus C+ comparison supports a Slight the other team Edge rather than leaving the transaction ungraded.
