Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

Boston added rights to Bob Kinney without giving up a premium asset. The return proved slightly more useful than cash, but the deal remained a modest win.

Detroit Pistons Perspective

The counterpart gained a modest realized-value advantage. Detroit’s return was led by cash, while the principal outgoing value was rights to Bob Kinney.
