Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
Willie Naulls became a valuable scorer and starter during Boston's championship run after the Celtics acquired his rights for cash.
Golden State Warriors Perspective
Golden State's return of cash fell well short of the long-term value surrendered in rights to Willie Naulls. Golden State received cash and sent rights to Willie Naulls. The long-term value clearly favored the counterpart. The displayed team grades for Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors reflect the realized value of the players, draft assets and transaction context that ultimately materialized. The judgment is retrospective and does not assume that every later draft outcome was predictable on the trade date.
