Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

Boston added Fred Roberts without giving up a premium asset. The return proved slightly more useful than 1987 third-round pick (#68 Billy Donovan); Celtics' agreement to play 2 exhibition games in Utah (future consideration), but the deal remained a modest win.
