Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
Boston moved up four draft slots for Sam Vincent while the outgoing selection became Terry Porter and an additional second-rounder was included. The realized player value strongly favored the other side.
Dallas Mavericks Perspective
The long-term value landed decisively with Dallas. Dallas moved Sam Vincent's draft slot for the pick used on Terry Porter plus a second. Porter became an All-Star-level asset, making the exchange a clear Dallas win even though Dallas later moved the pick. The central comparison is 1985 first-round pick (#24-Terry Porter (b. 1963-04-08)) against 1985 first-round pick (#20-Sam Vincent), with the remaining picks, rights, cash and contract consequences shaping the final margin.
