Trade Analysis

Dallas clearly came out ahead. Pat Cummings became a reliable Dallas scorer and starter; Fred Roberts had a respectable career but did not match Cummings's Mavericks production. The central comparison is Pat Cummings against 1982 second-round pick (#27-Fred Roberts), with the remaining picks, rights, cash and contract consequences shaping the final margin.
