This October 14, 1948 Boston listing is retained only as legacy source provenance. It describes the same Stan Stutz rights-for-cash transaction that authoritative New York, Boston, league and executive transaction logs date to October 13, 1948, so it is not treated as a separate NBA trade.
Boston’s October 14 intake entry and New York’s October 13 record describe the same transaction: Stan Stutz’s player rights moved from the Knicks to the Celtics for cash. The teams, player and consideration all match, so treating them as two separate trades would double-count one historical move.
The Knicks, Celtics and BAA transaction pages all date the sale to October 13, 1948. Ned Irish’s and Walter Brown’s executive transaction histories point to the same date from both front offices, giving the October 13 record the stronger documentary support.
TradeVerdicts keeps this October 14 listing only so the original Boston intake can still be audited. It is excluded from player-relationship construction and public/indexable consideration rather than being deleted and losing its source trail.
Because this is provenance for the already-counted October 13 Stutz sale, it should not receive a second basketball-value judgment. The correct outcome is structural: preserve the evidence, mark the duplicate date conflict, and prevent the legacy row from creating another transaction. Keeping the row private also makes the source disagreement reviewable without polluting the canonical trade count.
Record Superseded — Boston B-, New York C+. This October 14, 1948 Boston listing is retained only as legacy source provenance. It describes the same Stan Stutz rights-for-cash transaction that authoritative New York, Boston, league and executive transaction logs date to October 13, 1948, so it is not treated as a separate NBA trade.
