Trade Analysis

Atlanta Hawks Perspective

Atlanta exchanged the rights to James Ennis III for second round pick (protected top 40 in 2017, unprotected in 2018) (2017 #46-Sterling Brown). Atlanta did not lose badly, but the realized value favored the other side by a small margin.

Miami Heat Perspective

Miami received rights to James Ennis III and sent second-round pick (protected top 40 in 2017, unprotected in 2018) (2017 #46-Sterling Brown) in the 2013-06-27 transaction with Atlanta Hawks. Miami's side produced somewhat better realized value, but the other team still retained enough useful production or asset value to keep the result from being a clear win. The grade weighs realized NBA production, playoff contribution, draft conversion, contract and cap effects, and identifiable downstream asset use rather than simply comparing names on trade day. The displayed team grades for Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat reflect the realized value of the players, draft assets and transaction context that ultimately materialized. This is a retrospective value judgment based on what the assets became and how they affected the Heat, not a claim that every later development was predictable when the trade was made.
