August 15, 2013 Boston Celtics / Memphis Grizzlies Record confidence: Private Record

Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

Boston exchanged Fab Melo for Donte Greene. The realized outcomes remained close, and neither side created a durable advantage.

Memphis Grizzlies Perspective

Memphis received Fab Melo and sent Donte Greene. the other team produced the stronger hindsight value after player production, draft conversion, role, contract timing and downstream asset use were considered. The disadvantage is modest: the outgoing Grizzlies asset became the best contributor or the incoming package failed to create comparable durable value. Memphis still received some useful return, preventing the evaluation from overstating the loss.
