Slight Warriors Edge

Butch Beard became a meaningful Warriors guard, while Seattle received veteran Walt Hazzard. Golden State received Butch Beard and sent Walt Hazzard / Mahdi Abdul-Rahman. Golden State came away with the better overall value, though the counterpart retained a credible return. The B+ Warriors grade reflects realized production, role, timing and downstream asset value; the B the other team grade measures what Oklahoma City Thunder obtained from the same transaction. The judgment is retrospective and does not assume that every later draft outcome was predictable on the trade date.
