Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

Boston's return in 1987 fourth-round pick (#70 Tom Sheehey) and the counterpart's return in Celtics' agreement not to exercise their right of first refusal over free agent Ray Williams remained in the same value range. The transaction did not produce a lasting advantage.

LA Clippers Perspective

Los Angeles Clippers received Celtics' agreement not to exercise their right of first refusal over free agent Ray Williams and sent 1987 fourth-round pick (#70-Tom Sheehey) in the 1985-09-26 transaction with Boston Celtics. Structured retrospective estimate using realized player production, named draft outcomes, pick value, role, timing and asset depth. The comparison emphasizes realized production, named draft outcomes, role, timing and downstream asset value rather than reputation alone.
