Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

Boston added Bryant Stith; Chris Herren without giving up a premium asset. The return proved slightly more useful than Robert Pack; Calbert Cheaney, but the deal remained a modest win.

Denver Nuggets Perspective

Boston held a small advantage. Denver brought back Robert Pack and added Calbert Cheaney, but Bryant Stith remained a steadier two-way contributor and Chris Herren added another young asset to Boston's side. The gap was limited, yet Denver's veterans did not provide enough lasting value to make the exchange fully Even.
