Trade Analysis

Atlanta Hawks Perspective

Both sides obtained usable value, but Atlanta's return in 2012 second round pick (#43-(James) Mike Scott); ~$3.6M trade exception carries a modest advantage over Josh Childress based on realized production, asset control and downstream value.

Phoenix Suns Perspective

Phoenix acquired Josh Childress by sending a second-round pick and a trade exception to Atlanta. Childress signed an expensive contract, never became a reliable fit and produced limited on-court value, while the outgoing pick became Mike Scott. The combination of asset and contract cost created a clear the other team win.
