Trade Analysis
The realized return clearly favored Cleveland. Cleveland received Lee Nailon and 2006 second round pick (#42-Daniel Gibson), while the other team received 2006 conditional second round pick (if Cavaliers finish with at least third best record in the league) (not exercised). The Cleveland return supplied the superior combination of player contribution, draft outcome and roster fit; the outgoing side did not create comparable franchise value. The grade reflects realized value, contract and age context, the eventual use of draft assets and the transaction’s effect on Cleveland’s competitive window.
