Trade Analysis

Dallas finished slightly ahead once the assets played out. Dallas cleared Lamar Odom and created a large trade exception without surrendering a consequential asset. The cleanup value produced a modest Dallas win. The central comparison is draft rights to Tadija Dragicevic against Lamar Odom, with the remaining picks, rights, cash and contract consequences shaping the final margin.
