Trade Analysis

Boston Celtics Perspective

Boston converted Aron Baynes and Ty Jerome's rights into a future first-round pick that landed at No. 30. Although the Celtics later moved Desmond Bane's rights, the direct transaction created strong asset value.

Phoenix Suns Perspective

Phoenix acquired Aron Baynes and Ty Jerome for a first-round pick that became Desmond Bane. Baynes contributed to the 2020 turnaround, but Bane developed into a high-level scorer and long-term core player. The immediate benefit cannot match the outgoing pick’s realized value.
