Trade Analysis
The incoming value clearly exceeded the cost. Golden State's return was 1988 second round pick (#41-Keith Smart), while the cost was Warriors' agreement not to exercise their right of first refusal on free agent Lester Conner. The Warriors side grades at C and the other team package at D. 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.
