Warriors Win

Golden State converted Zelmo Beaty's rights into the pick used on Gus Williams, an excellent value outcome. Golden State received future considerations (1975 second round pick (#20-Gus Williams)) and sent Zelmo Beaty. The long-term value clearly favored Golden State. The A- Warriors grade reflects realized production, role, timing and downstream asset value; the B the other team grade measures what Los Angeles Lakers obtained from the same transaction. The judgment is retrospective and does not assume that every later draft outcome was predictable on the trade date.
