NBA Trade Verdict
Slight Bulls Edge
Chicago acquired Ed Nealy from Phoenix for a conditional 1996 second-round pick that did not convey.
October 5, 1989 Chicago Bulls / Phoenix Suns Record confidence: High
Chicago Bulls Received
- Player Ed Nealy
Phoenix Suns Received
- Draft Pick conditional 1996 second-round pick (not exercised)
Trade Analysis
Chicago received the modestly better realized value. Nealy appeared in 46 games for the Bulls in 1989-90, while Phoenix's conditional second-round pick never conveyed. The contribution was useful but limited, supporting a slight Bulls edge rather than a decisive win.
