Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
The exchange favored Boston because Jim Paxson (Jr.) delivered the cleaner result. Neither side gained enough value for a decisive grade gap.
Portland Trail Blazers Perspective
This was a direct value exchange between Jerry Sichting and cash and Jim Paxson (Jr.). The main assets favor the counterpart modestly without turning the transaction into a major loss. Considering production, longevity and draft return, the verdict is a slight the other team edge.
