Trade Analysis

Atlanta Hawks Perspective

Atlanta moved 1984 second round pick (#37-Ben Coleman) to bring in the rights to Jim Johnstone. The outgoing side ultimately carried a little more useful value, creating a narrow edge for the other team.

Sacramento Kings Perspective

Trading the draft rights to Jim Johnstone for the pick that became Ben Coleman created no meaningful long-term separation. The incoming and outgoing assets offered comparable production or draft value, and the smaller considerations did not alter the result. The historical record supports an even grade for both sides.
