Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
The deal centered on 2007 second-round pick (#49 Aaron Gray) and Walter McCarty. Both sides received limited short-term value, and neither outcome created meaningful separation.
Phoenix Suns Perspective
Boston Celtics came out modestly ahead because the pick that became Aaron Gray aged better than Phoenix’s return led by cash. The Suns still received usable player, pick or financial value, so the outcome fits a slight the other team edge rather than a clear loss.
