Trade Analysis
The Celtics Chose Immediate Veteran Help
Boston’s side of the exchange centered on Green as the usable present-day player. The canonical grades treat that immediate roster value as slightly stronger than the later pick-and-cash package.
Baltimore Received a Draft Asset and Financial Consideration
The Bullets collected both the fourth-round selection and cash. The cash amount is not preserved, so the financial component cannot be independently scaled beyond its documented presence in the transaction.
The Grade Difference Is Intentionally Small
TradeVerdicts gives Boston a C+ and Baltimore a C. That is a narrow Celtics edge, appropriate for a transaction where both sides received legitimate assets and the surviving evidence does not justify a wider spread.
Final Verdict
Slight Celtics Edge — Boston C+, Baltimore C. Boston acquired Sihugo Green from Bullets in exchange for 1966 fourth-round pick (#39 John Beasley); cash.
