Trade Analysis
The incoming value was somewhat stronger than the cost. Golden State's return was 1982 second round pick (#35-Derek Smith); 1984 second round pick (#30-Steve Burtt), while the cost was John Lucas Jr. The Warriors side grades at A- and the other team package at B+. The assessment weighs actual NBA production, contract and competitive-window context, and any realized draft conversion; it does not assume that later outcomes were perfectly predictable on the trade date.
