Trade Analysis

Atlanta Hawks Perspective

Atlanta exchanged Clyde Lovellette for 1963 second round pick (#18-Ken Saylors) and cash. The outgoing value proved materially better than what the Hawks received in return.

Boston Celtics Perspective

Clyde Lovellette added Hall of Fame-caliber frontcourt depth to championship teams, while the second-round pick and cash sent to St. Louis produced little comparable value.
