Trade Analysis
The incoming value clearly exceeded the cost. Golden State's return was Ricky Pierce; rights to Carlos Rogers; 1995 second round pick (#50-Martin Lewis); 1995 second round pick (#55-Michael McDonald), while the cost was Šarūnas Marčiulionis; Byron Houston. 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.
