San Francisco traded the NBA rights to Edgar Lacy to the Los Angeles Lakers on May 9, 1968 for what contemporaneous reporting described as a high pick in the next draft. The exact selection tied to that consideration has not been verified, and the Warriors' 1969 draft list does not show a clearly identifiable extra Lakers-derived choice. Lacy never played for the Lakers; he signed with the ABA's Los Angeles Stars and appeared in 46 games before leaving professional basketball. With no verified Lakers games from Lacy and no traceable exercised pick for San Francisco, the completed NBA value is effectively even and minimal.
The Warriors traded Edgar Lacy’s NBA rights to the Lakers on May 9, 1968. Contemporary reporting described the return as a high selection in the next draft, but the exact pick has not been verified.
Lacy instead signed with the ABA’s Los Angeles Stars and appeared in 46 games before leaving professional basketball. Los Angeles therefore received no NBA games from the acquired rights.
San Francisco’s 1969 draft list does not reveal a clearly identifiable Lakers-derived selection tied to the deal. Without a verified exercised pick, the Warriors’ side has no measurable NBA outcome to credit.
Both franchises receive a D because neither side has a verified realized NBA return. The rights did not produce Lakers games and the reported draft consideration cannot responsibly be assigned to a specific Warriors selection.
Even Trade — San Francisco D, Los Angeles D. San Francisco traded the NBA rights to Edgar Lacy to the Los Angeles Lakers on May 9, 1968 for what contemporaneous reporting described as a high pick in the next draft. The exact selection tied to that consideration has not been verified, and the Warriors' 1969 draft list does not show a clearly identifiable extra Lakers-derived choice.
