Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
The deal leaned away from Boston because Danny Fortson; Dana Barros carried the better realized value, though neither package became franchise-defining.
Dallas Mavericks Perspective
Dallas gained a modest long-term advantage. Howard Eisley became a rotation guard and the outgoing players had limited remaining value, but the cash and multi-team mechanics narrow Dallas's advantage. The central comparison is Howard Eisley against Bruno Sundov, with the remaining picks, rights, cash and contract consequences shaping the final margin.
