Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

Boston's return in Bill Dinwiddie; pick (not exercised) and the counterpart's return in playing rights to Bob Cousy remained in the same value range. The transaction did not produce a lasting advantage.

Sacramento Kings Perspective

Playing rights to Bob Cousy did not compensate Cincinnati Royals for giving up Bill Dinwiddie. The outgoing package generated more meaningful production or draft value for the counterpart, and no secondary piece repaired the imbalance. The historical outcome makes this a clear franchise loss.
