Trade Analysis
Neither side produced a decisive long-term advantage. Golden State's return was 1986 third round pick (#59-Wendell Alexis), while the cost was Mickey Johnson. The Warriors side grades at C+ and the other team package at C+. 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.
