On May 16, 1961, the expansion Chicago Packers sold Bob McNeill's player rights to the Philadelphia Warriors for cash. Basketball-Reference's league ledger records the sale on the same day Chicago acquired McNeill and Charlie Tyra from New York for Dave Budd. McNeill later appeared in 21 regular-season games for Philadelphia in 1961-62, averaging 4.1 points and 2.3 assists in 10.1 minutes per game, before the Warriors sold his rights to the Los Angeles Lakers in December 1961. The cash amount Chicago received and the amount Philadelphia later recovered from Los Angeles are not preserved in the public ledgers. Because those financial terms are material and McNeill's Philadelphia tenure was brief, the transaction remains Insufficient Evidence rather than forcing a winner.
No separate canonical grade is recorded for Golden State Warriors, Washington Wizards.
The expansion Chicago Packers acquired Bob McNeill and Charlie Tyra from New York for Dave Budd on May 16, 1961, then sold McNeill's rights to Philadelphia for cash that same day. The linked transactions explain why McNeill never appeared for Chicago despite passing through the Packers' ledger.
McNeill played 21 games for the Warriors in 1961-62, averaging 10.1 minutes, 4.1 points and 2.3 assists. Philadelphia then sold his rights to the Lakers in December. The Warriors obtained a brief reserve contribution and another cash return, but neither payment is publicly quantified.
Chicago's sale price and Philadelphia's later resale price are absent from the public transaction ledgers. Without them, the Packers' immediate return cannot be compared responsibly with the Warriors' 21 games and later recovery. Treating the short playing stint alone as decisive would ignore the principal asset on both sides.
The transaction chain is clear even though its economics are not. Chicago monetized a player acquired moments earlier; Philadelphia received limited bench service and then resold the rights. The evidence is sufficient to describe the outcome, but not to assign defensible team grades.
Insufficient Evidence — Bob McNeill played 21 games for Philadelphia, but the original sale price and the Warriors' later cash recovery are unknown.
