Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
Boston received a difficult Raef LaFrentz contract but also Jiri Welsch and the first-round pick used on Delonte West. Dallas gained Antoine Walker for a short stint; the unfavorable contract keeps Boston slightly behind overall.
Dallas Mavericks Perspective
Dallas finished slightly ahead once the assets played out. Antoine Walker and Tony Delk provided useful short-term offense, while Boston received a protected first and other assets. Dallas's immediate return was slightly better, but the cost prevents a clear win.
