Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
The Celtics received the better short-term value through Henry Finkel, while 1971 pick (#78 Greg Nelson?) did not become a major counterpart asset. The margin is narrow.
Houston Rockets Perspective
The realized outcome leaned slightly toward Boston Celtics. Houston received draft pick (per NBA Guide & Celtics web site) (possibly 1971 #78-Greg Nelson?); cash (per Rockets media guide) and sent Henry Finkel.
