76ers Win

Syracuse received the stronger realized basketball value. Palazzi joined the Nationals during the 1956-57 season, played 42 games for them that year and averaged 10.7 points per game, then remained a regular for two more seasons. Boston received cash, but the amount is not preserved in the available record. Because the cash value is unknown, Boston still gets credit for monetizing the roster spot, but Syracuse gets the clear edge for acquiring a useful multi-year rotation player.
