February 6, 1983 Brooklyn Nets / Golden State Warriors Record confidence: High

Trade Analysis

Sleepy Floyd became a long-term scoring guard, while New Jersey received Micheal Ray Richardson amid his decline. Golden State received Sleepy Floyd; Mickey Johnson and sent Micheal Ray Richardson. The long-term value clearly favored Golden State. The A- Warriors grade reflects realized production, role, timing and downstream asset value; the C- the other team grade measures what Brooklyn Nets obtained from the same transaction. The judgment is retrospective and does not assume that every later draft outcome was predictable on the trade date.
