Trade Analysis
Philadelphia gets the slight overall edge because Kukoc became useful rotation value and later part of the package that brought Dikembe Mutombo, while Golden State also did well by getting younger with Larry Hughes and Billy Owens. Chicago's return did not match either top side. The equal A- grades for Philadelphia and Golden State keep the margin between them slight.
