Trade Analysis
Atlanta Hawks Perspective
Glenn Robinson supplied one high-scoring season, but Atlanta gave up Toni Kukoc, Leon Smith and the first-round asset that became T.J. Ford. The short rental did not justify the package.
Milwaukee Bucks Perspective
The deal leans Milwaukee, but the margin is not large enough to call it a runaway win. Atlanta Hawks received Glenn Robinson (Jr.). Milwaukee Bucks received Toni Kukoc; Leon Smith; first round pick (more favorable of Hawks (top 3 protected for 7 years) or Pacers (lottery protected for 4 years)) (#8-T.J. Ford). On a hindsight basis, most of the value rests in the players and assets that actually changed hands. The grade also accounts for transaction scale and whether the outgoing package contained premium first-round or established-player value. The assets exchanged are clear enough to support moderate confidence in this assessment.
