Trade Analysis
Boston got the better of a very small transaction by converting a fourth-round draft right into cash instead of simply losing the player. Austin appeared in only four games for Baltimore, averaged 5.8 points on 22.7% shooting and was waived nine days after the sale. The unknown cash amount keeps Boston's grade from climbing higher, but Baltimore received almost no lasting NBA value.
