Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

The Celtics achieved part of their objective, yet Ed Sadowski (Anthony) ultimately carried slightly more value than the return in Henry Beenders; Chuck Halbert.

Golden State Warriors Perspective

The exchange of Ed Sadowski for Hank Beenders; Chick Halbert produced roughly balanced retrospective value. Golden State received Ed Sadowski and sent Hank Beenders; Chick Halbert. The two sides received broadly comparable value once role, longevity, draft outcomes and context are considered. The B- Warriors grade reflects realized production, role, timing and downstream asset value; the B- the other team grade measures what Boston Celtics obtained from the same transaction. The judgment is retrospective and does not assume that every later draft outcome was predictable on the trade date.
