Trade Analysis
Denver gets the slight edge because Andre Miller provided dependable starting-caliber play and Jordan Hamilton added a first-round asset, while Rudy Fernandez never played for Dallas and Portland's Raymond Felton stint was disappointing. Dallas and Denver share the top B grade, but Denver's realized on-court return separates it narrowly.
