Baltimore sold Frank Kudelka's player rights to the Philadelphia Warriors on December 1, 1952. Basketball-Reference's Baltimore, Philadelphia and league transaction logs agree on the sale. Kudelka had played 16 games for Baltimore that season before the move, then appeared in 20 games for Philadelphia, averaging 17.0 minutes, 4.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists. The Warriors waived him on January 20, 1953, and he never played another NBA game. Because Baltimore's cash return is undisclosed and Philadelphia received only a short final stint, the source-backed record supports a balanced low-impact result.
Baltimore sold Frank Kudelka's player rights to Philadelphia on December 1, 1952. Kudelka was an established veteran who had already played 16 games for the Bullets that season, so the Warriors were purchasing immediate backcourt depth rather than a developmental asset. The cash amount is not preserved.
Kudelka appeared in 20 games for Philadelphia, averaging 17.0 minutes, 4.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists. The Warriors waived him on January 20, 1953, less than two months after the sale, and he never played another NBA game.
Baltimore's side is difficult to quantify because the payment is undisclosed, but the player cost is clear. The Bullets gave up only the final 20 games of Kudelka's NBA career, and Philadelphia did not turn him into another roster asset or trade return.
Philadelphia received a small amount of useful reserve production and then moved on. Baltimore received cash for a veteran with almost no remaining NBA longevity. The old wide grade gap overstates what happened; the verifiable outcomes are modest enough to support an even C/C result.
