Trade Analysis

The December 22 Listing Fails the Source Check

The cited Fort Wayne and league transaction evidence does not support a December 22, 1950 cash purchase of Charlie Share from the Hawks. The imported row is a legacy source conflict, not a separately verified NBA trade.

The Real Share Rights Trade Happened in April 1951

The documented Share transaction in this period is Boston’s April 26, 1951 trade with Fort Wayne for Bill Sharman. That deal is independently preserved as its own canonical TradeVerdicts record and is supported by the Celtics, Pistons and league transaction logs.

The Legacy Row Would Double-Count a Different Transaction

Keeping the December row as another completed trade would create a false extra movement for Share and distort team and player relationship histories. Its value is archival only: it shows what the older source package claimed and why that claim was rejected.

Preserve the Provenance but Supersede the Trade

TradeVerdicts therefore keeps the route private for provenance while excluding it from public/indexable treatment and hindsight grading. No winner or team grades should be invented for a transaction the surviving source record does not establish.

Final Resolution

Record Superseded. This legacy listing is retained only as a disputed historical record and is not treated as a separate NBA trade. No team grade is assigned because the record is retained for provenance rather than treated as a completed transaction.
