Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

Boston exchanged Sherman Douglas for Todd Day; Alton Lister. The realized outcomes remained close, and neither side created a durable advantage.

Milwaukee Bucks Perspective

The counterparty appears to have extracted somewhat more value, though Milwaukee's rationale was defensible. Milwaukee received Sherman Douglas and gave up Todd Day; Alton Lister. On a hindsight basis, most of the value rests in the players and assets that actually changed hands. The grade also accounts for transaction scale and whether the outgoing package contained premium first-round or established-player value. The assets exchanged are clear enough to support moderate confidence in this assessment.
