Trade Analysis
The realized-value outcome is a clear Chicago win. Curry had heart condition and never became star, Davis retired. Picks became Aldridge (7-time All-Star) and Noah (DPOY, All-NBA). Even though Bulls traded Aldridge for Thomas on draft night, the asset haul was massive. One of best heists of 2000s.
