Denver sold Steve Chubin to the Anaheim Amigos for cash on October 12, 1967, one day before the inaugural ABA season began. Anaheim immediately turned the purchase into one of the strongest player returns in its one-season franchise history. Chubin played 77 games for the Amigos, averaging 18.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 31.7 minutes per game. Denver received undisclosed cash and no on-court asset from the transaction itself. The completed return makes Anaheim the clear winner, even though the cash amount prevents a precise valuation of Denver's side.
