Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
Boston added Mark Blount; Mark Bryant without giving up a premium asset. The return proved slightly more useful than Shammond Williams; 2003 second-round pick (#46 Sani Becirovic); $1 million cash, but the deal remained a modest win.
Denver Nuggets Perspective
The counterpart gained a modest realized-value advantage. Denver's side was led by Shammond Williams, while the principal outgoing value was Mark Blount. The C+/B- grades reflect the players and picks that actually materialized, with contract, age, competitive-window fit, and downstream pick conversion treated as context rather than substitutes for realized value.
