Trade Analysis
Atlanta Hawks Perspective
Isaiah Rider's Atlanta tenure was short and turbulent, while Portland received Steve Smith, who immediately helped a contender. Jim Jackson added value, but not enough to offset the loss.
Portland Trail Blazers Perspective
After sending Isaiah Rider / J.R. Rider and additional consideration, Portland came away with Steve Smith (Delano) and additional consideration. The strongest realized outcome belonged to Portland, with no equivalent value emerging for the other side.
