Trade Analysis

New York received the stronger overall package. Denver acquired Renaldo Balkman and cash, but sent two players and the second-round pick used on Andy Rautins. Balkman contributed defensively in a limited role, yet the transaction did not deliver enough value to justify the combined outgoing assets.
