Trade Analysis
Boston Celtics Perspective
Boston's return in 2015 conditional second-round pick (not exercised) and the counterpart's return in Sam Cassell; cash remained in the same value range. The transaction did not produce a lasting advantage.
Sacramento Kings Perspective
Sacramento Kings acquired Sam Cassell and surrendered a 2015 second-round pick, but neither package developed into a clear advantage. the originating team assets supplied similar or limited value, while secondary considerations remained marginal. That outcome places the transaction squarely in the even tier.
