Trade Analysis
Atlanta Hawks Perspective
Hazzard was an All-Star in 1968 and a productive guard, but Wilkens was a 9-time All-Star and future Hall of Famer who remained elite for another decade and became one of the winningest coaches ever. Seattle captured the more valuable long-term asset by a significant margin.
