Atlanta acquired Gene Tormohlen from Phoenix on September 20, 1969 for a 1970 third-round pick that became Vann Williford at No. 48. The trade produced very little realized NBA value on either side. Tormohlen returned from a one-year retirement but played only two games and 11 minutes for Atlanta before his career ended. Phoenix used the pick on Williford, who never played in the NBA and instead appeared in 38 ABA games for Carolina. With neither return producing meaningful value for the acquiring NBA team, the completed outcome grades as even.
Atlanta acquired Gene Tormohlen from Phoenix for a 1970 third-round pick that became Vann Williford at No. 48. The structure was simple: the Hawks traded a future selection for a veteran attempting to return after a year away.
Tormohlen played only two games and 11 total minutes for Atlanta before his NBA career ended. The Hawks therefore received almost no measurable on-court return from the acquisition.
The Suns used the selection on Williford, but he never appeared in the NBA. He later played 38 ABA games for Carolina, which does not count as realized Phoenix value from the draft pick.
With Atlanta receiving two brief appearances and Phoenix receiving a drafted player who never played for the Suns, the completed NBA return is minimal on both sides. Equal C grades fit the lack of durable value.
Even Trade — Atlanta C, Phoenix C. Atlanta acquired Gene Tormohlen from Phoenix on September 20, 1969 for a 1970 third-round pick that became Vann Williford at No. 48.
