NBA Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Chicago received Carlos Boozer, 2011 second round pick (protected) (#43-Malcolm Lee) for ~$13M traded player exception. The completed outcome does not show enough separation to justify a winner.

Trade Analysis

Boozer's contract aged poorly, but he was a productive starter on several strong playoff teams, while the outgoing asset cost remained limited. The completed returns are close enough to support an even evaluation.
