Trade Analysis

Atlanta Hawks Perspective

Atlanta sent out Tom Van Arsdale and received Ken Charles, Dick Gibbs, and additional consideration in a multi-asset exchange. The incoming package offered slightly more usable basketball value or flexibility, but the margin was modest.

LA Clippers Perspective

Buffalo Braves received Tom Van Arsdale and sent Ken Charles / Kenny Charles; Dick Gibbs; cash in the 1976-06-16 transaction with Atlanta Hawks.
