Trade Analysis
The exchange produced a decisive long-term loss for Dallas. Dallas surrendered the first-round pick used on Kevin Edwards merely to steer Miami's expansion selection toward Arvid Kramer. Edwards became a long-term NBA starter; Kramer had little impact. The central comparison is Heat's agreement to select Arvid Kramer in the 1988 expansion draft against 1988 first-round pick (#20-Kevin Edwards), with the remaining picks, rights, cash and contract consequences shaping the final margin.
