Trade Analysis

Detroit received the clear realized value. West played 114 games for the Pistons over two seasons, starting 79, and averaged 7.5 points and 6.1 rebounds in 1994-95. Phoenix used the conveyed 1996 second-round pick on Russ Millard, who never appeared in an NBA game, while the conditional 1999 second-round pick did not convey. The veteran production comfortably outweighs Phoenix's realized return.
